I have no background story for this. Originally I wanted to write about a childhood snack but I couldn't correlate a piece of cake to technology. Anyways it was about a layered cake. Just like this puzzle there are layers. You wanna know what else has layers? Onions. And onions make me cry. Hopefully this puzzle will be more of a sweet treat than a tear-inducing onion

When you have found the answer. Input it here to get a hint to the hide. Or maybe you just want to be first to get a green light. You decide - you are in control.
