It must be a mistake
Kek is different from pasta as you mentioned.

Belki canı pasta çekmiştir?
Maybe she longed for creamy? 
You know, not all the time our tongues speak, sometimes our other organs such as stomach, too, can speak!

Maybe itz cos that "the birthday cake" is taught as "doğumgünü pastası" in turkish and as a result many ppl tend to use "cake" as "pasta" in turkish

Your word order is correct but be careful on subject-verb relation in Turkish:
Ben dün kek yaptıM.
Sen dün kek yaptıN.

If everyone knows which cake it is, it can be used with -i. You may eat the cake together, and she is talking about the cake, then it is "the cake": keki
But generally, delicious cakes are generally not long lived. So, we may miss it 
Actually, "kek yapmak" is something like a routine, te other examples:
spor yapmak: there is no definite sports to do. it is a general saying. that is sport. you don't need -i
maç yapmak: same as sport. The matches come and go. It is a general saying. You don't need to say maçı yapmak for general usage.
çamaşır yıkamak/bulaşık yıkamak: you are talking about washing the dishes/clothes. This is a general statement again. bulaşığı yıkamak can be said for the dishes which you want to express (already known- "the dishes"):
Dünkü bulaşığı yıkarken çok yoruldum
While I was washing the dishes which are from yesterday, I got very tired.
banyo yapmak: again general saying. Not talking about the specific bath process.
yazı yazmak: you write many things, it is a general thing. This is without -i. But maybe you wrote something just a few minutes ago, and you are talking about it. Then, it is definite object: yazıyı yazdım
kitap okumak: same! If it is a general speech, if the books are any books, no matter which is, then we say kitap okumak. If this book about you are talking is a specific, then you need -i: kitabı okumak.
Yarın kitap okuyacağım:
> Tomorrow I will read a book (no matter which book it is.)
Yarın kitabı okuyacağım
> Tomorrow I will read the book (the book we already talked/know.)
So, is it a cake or the cake we know?
