Do we say "Are" or "Is" cake, bread and sandwich your favorites?

It would be "are", since you're talking about all three of them as your "favorites". If the last word were "favorite", it would be "Is cake, bread OR sandwich(es) your favorite?"

Even if it's "are", it should be "sandwiches" or "a sandwich".
