I agree with the poster above, their breakfast choices symbolize their age. Remember, the boys are 14, 17, and 20 years old. When they eat cake for breakfast, it reminds the reader of their age and innocence. They are in a horrible situation, having lost both parents tragically, and Darry is doing the best he can to take care of his brothers. Allowing them to eat cake for breakfast shows that he is still a child himself.
