Erotic Cakes is the first solo studio album by guitarist Guthrie Govan. It was first released in 2006 through Cornford Records and, it was later re-released by JTC records in 2011.[2] The album features a mixture of songs that Govan had performed previously with his trio as well as some new compositions.

In an interview with All Out Guitar, he stated that, "these studio versions are a lot closer to what I meant the stuff to sound like when I wrote it".[3] In the quote, he refers to the changes in arrangement made to the songs compared to his live work with his trio.

Govan has stated that the album name is a reference to the Simpsons' episode "Treehouse of Horror VI".[4]
