What it means
A cheeky British way to mean your mouth, usually when someone won't stop yapping or is chatting pure rubbish. You mostly hear it in shut your cakehole, which is rude-ish but often still playful, more matey snap than full-on threat.
Usage examples
"Shut your cakehole, mate, the footie’s starting and you’re waffling again. Let the ref talk for once, yeah? Grab a brew and chill."
"Shut your cakehole for two minutes, I am trying to hear the football scores over all your chatter."
"He never stops, talks right through the film, somebody pass him a biscuit to fill that cakehole."
"Oi, shut your cakehole a sec, I'm trying to hear what she's saying on the phone."
"If he doesn't close his cakehole through the quiz, we're getting every answer wrong just from his running commentary."

Where it comes from
A blunt bit of British wit. Your mouth is the hole you post cake into, so cakehole became the cheeky name for it, almost always wheeled out in shut your cakehole when someone really needs to stop talking.
