The church cake

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

Thought this was funny - almost Seinfeld-ian and wanted to share it

with you. My thanks to mountainwings.com

================================

Alice was to bake a cake for the church ladies' group bake sale,

but she forgot to do it until the last minute. She baked an

angel food cake and when she took it from the oven, the center

had dropped flat.

 

She said, "Oh dear, there's no time to bake another cake."

So, she looked around the house for something to build up the

center of the cake.

 

Alice found it in the bathroom... a roll of toilet paper.

She plunked it in and covered it with icing. The finished

product looked beautiful, so she rushed it to the church.

 

Before she left the house, Alice had given her daughter some

money and specific instructions to be at the bake sale the

minute it opened, and to buy that cake and bring it home.

When the daughter arrived at the sale, the attractive cake had

already been sold.

 

Alice was beside herself.

 

The next day, Alice was invited to a friend's home where two

tables of bridge were to be played that afternoon.

 

After the game, a fancy lunch was served, and to top it off, the

cake in question was presented for dessert.

 

Alice saw the cake, she started to get out of her chair to rush

into the kitchen to tell her hostess all about it, but before

she could get to her feet, one of the other ladies said,

"What a beautiful cake!"

 

Alice sat back in her chair when she heard the hostess

(who was a prominent church member) say:

 

"Thank you, I baked it myself."
