English term or phrase: Oil cakes were prepared for function
Oil cakes were prepared for function and kept under the bed. I ate some of the cakes and was badly beaten by my mother and cried the whole day.

bolos azeitados foram preparados para a ocasião
Explanation:
"Oil cake" normalmente refere-se a "olive oil cake". Ao pé-da-letra, seria "bolo de azeite", mas nesse tipo de receita o azeite é normalmente combinado a outro ingrediente principal (chocolate oil cake, lemon oil cake etc). Daí a sugestão: bolos azeitados.
