To answer your question, I prefer cake. It's not a meal time.
Who refers to a five year old as a preschooler?
Anyone who has a child with a birthday that falls between Oct 1 and the summer? My DD (who is still 4) is in preschool. We are going to a 5th birthday party this weekend. They will all start kindergarten in the fall.

My almost three year old would be napping.

Neither of my kids napped by 3. Anyway, I’d serve pizza just because kids seem to always be hungry. I hate when my kids are starving after birthday parties.

I find pizza is easier then getting a bunch of apps. In my family, a party = food. I would be really surprised if I went to a party and there was only cake.
This is why it needs to be explicitly stated on an invite what will be served- to avoid disappointment.

Then I say just cake, but specify that on the invite. *Cake will be served at 3pm, after an hour of bouncing/sword fighting/whatever.
Then people can plan accordingly.

My preschooler would still be napping at 2pm. Unless it's a good friend, he would not attend.
That said, if you do it, serve snacks and cake. Have a fruit platter or veggie tray and some pretzels.
