Why do people say that something sells like ‘hotcakes’ if they sell out fast? How fast do hotcakes sell?

Hotcakes sell as fast as you make them.
That is: you make them to order, and they sell immediately after being made, and they are made very quickly.
So: "they'll sell like hotcakes" basically means "they'll sell as fast as you can make them".

Hot cakes sell at the speed of light cause people want to eat them while they're HOT!
