Three things to remember: (1) This expression usually figures in contrasts, so it almost always appears in a BUT clause. (2) The pronoun IT is very weak - so weak that it can't be stressed. When we need to stress it, we replace it with THIS or THAT. (3) A contrast requires stess: I hate THIS, but I love THAT. Bearing all these things in mind, you'll understand that IT TAKES THE CAKE is very rare.

You've done some reckless things before, but THIS takes the cake!

Noted, typed, saved, thanks.

Я знал(а), что ты и твоя сестра, обе неряхи, но ей в этом - нет равных!

I love it 👍🏼

NO, you’re welcome))

Я знал, что вы с сестрой обе неряхи, но до неё даже тебе далеко! (как вариант).
