My guess is Photoshop and a lot of post work.
Assuming the cake wasn't designed with any morphs or extra slice pieces, basically you would need to modify the uncut cake to have a hole in it, and create the extra slice. You could do this in a modeling application if you have one. If your goal was just to create a single picture like the one above that won't be seen from any other angle, you could also do it in postwork, or another option would be to select and hide some polygons in the cake to fake a cut out piece (angled right you won't see nor need to fix the missing side nor the fact that the cake is hollow). For the slice, you could probably just use a few primitives or a rock or other random object retextured to use the same material, although assuming you don't have the little whipped cream shapes in this case you would probably need a second copy of the cake with most of it hidden to get those.
Not too hard if you use photoshop.
1. Render pic with cake.
2. Render pic without cake.
3. Layer in photoshop
4. Erase out the mising cake in the shape of a slice.
5. copy a portion from your whole cake layer in the shape of the slicek and distort a piece for the part in boy's hand. or clip the missing piece an use that
6. add smears of crumbs and chocolate with a brush.
+1 That would be the easiest way (assuming that the cake is just a full cake without any slices or pieces that can be removed - and from the looks of it, it doesn't). It looks like exactly the way Serene Night described.
Use two cakes.
Using geometry editor, remove a slice from one cake, and remove everything that is not a slice from the other.
Fill in open spaces with primitive planes, or use the morphing wedge from MaClean's Everyday Morphing Primitives.
Texture fillers with cake-like material of your choice (Maybe a knit fabric with a really high vertical and horizontal offset).
there's this old cake from a curious tea party
