The right way to do it is to make the whole wall the metal texture. Then browse for the cake texture, click on the "overlay" button on the left side (third from the bottom) and then just click on the wall where you want the cake picture to be. You can adjust its size and move it around if you want to

A note about overlays, you can only have a maximum of 8 per surface (any more than that won't get drawn), but the upside is that you can resize them. Decals are good because you aren't limited to a number per face, but you can't resize them and they are a little outdated in general.

ok i just tried it out and...

Spoiler

when i broke the first pane of glass in the floor, and went in there and the walls began to close. i just stood there to see if that would kill me. at the last moment, before i could die, the glass broke and i found myself down below, easily able to complete the level... is that how that was supposed to play out?

so the second time around i chose some slightly better angles, and got the launcher to break all the glass for me. then i noticed this little bit of quirkiness...
