Thank you for your reply.

Why does I love apples sound odd?

I like cake.

I like cakes.

In my opnion, I like apples sound much better. (unless you are referring to just one apple, like I like this apple)

About it should be me doing my work, I am curious if the grammar is correct. Mind pointing out the mistakes?

Not necessarily nowadays. The predicate position is becoming more dominant in determining the case of the pronoun, so that 'It's me' is becoming standard and 'It is I' is becoming hyperformal.
