Last vs. Last Long

[Cinji18]

Is there a difference between these?

1) A tasty cake will not last in a room full of hungry children.
2) A tasty cake will not last long in a room full of hungry children.

Thanks.

Yes,
1 suggests that a tasty cake would not last i.e. it would definitely finish, nothing left in a room full of hungry children
2 suggests that a tasty cake would finish soon (not only it would finish, it would finish very soon ) in a room full of hungry children
(or if i am there )

That makes sense.

Thanks.
