Yeah, I dunno, don't see it.

I'm not feeling the cake either. I think that's just too messy, too much could go wrong.

With poisoning the wine, if you don't do it, no one will ever know that you planned it.

With the cake, if something goes wrong, a bunch of innocents could die and there's no assurance that Joffrey dies.

I see the cake as a bomb of sorts that would take out a lot of the Lannisters, Margaery, and potentially anyone at the head tables. And the people at the head tables are the most likely ones that would want to kill Joffrey and would have the access.

Unless it was the Red Viper, then he might not care about the collateral damage at all.
