In high school, I once dated two girls at the same time. Their names were Edith and Kate. Eventually, I got caught -- which goes to prove that you can't have your Kate and Edith too.

I always heard "you can't have your cake and eat it to".

I rarely heard "you can't eat your cake and have it too"

Maybe it's a coloquialism. Maybe I should find out how to spell coloquialism.

I have no idea how to smell coloquialism. However, the real phrase is definitely ‘you can't eat your cake and have it too’. The phrase means, you must have either one or the other. So you actually can have your cake and eat it too. However, you cant eat your cake and have it too.
