Sometimes, a plot involves or is centered on a character needing to carry a cake, pie, or some other food item toward a destination, often under time pressure and with obstacles. This never ends well. This item never arrives as scheduled. Usually it's dropped just before the destination is reached, or else it's stolen, or eaten by the character carrying it. If the food item does arrive at its destination, it is rarely in the correct state, or it is unwanted in some capacity once there. If it is a cake, expect it to be a big wedding cake or of similar size for extra mess. Possibly the second most frequent kind of Funny Home Video, after testicular calamity. See also Endangered Soufflé and Prop. Related tropes are 30 Minutes, or It's Free! and Dish Dash. Pie in the Face may result. Possibly a subtrope to Chekhov's Gun. Or perhaps Tempting Fate. Sub-Trope of Product Delivery Ordeal. |

Adventure Time has an entire episode devoted to this in "The Other Tarts". Finn and Jake are tasked with carrying a shipment of Royal Tarts to a big ceremony. Thanks to Finn's careless and ill-conceived plan, all the tarts get stolen. Fortunately, Finn accidentally brought along a shipment of tarts laced with paralyzing potion and gave the real tarts to Cinnamon Bun, who took a safer route, so it all works out. | |

Taking over the delivery of a cake is a cover in Hitman: Blood Money. On the way to its destination, the cake can be dropped, used to smuggle guns, poisoned, and rigged to explode — depending on how the player wishes to carry out Agent 47's mission. | |

Monica's Gang: Smudge once tried to deliver a cake. Meeting Maggy on the way, he hid it behind him so she wouldn't eat it, which allowed someone else to take a bite. Later on, a fat person sat on the cake. When he finally reached his destination, the woman expecting the cake threw what left of it on his face. | |

In the Redwall book The Pearls of Lutra, Tansy is carrying a cake that is decorated with seven marchpane orbs wrapped in rose petals on top. Clecky the hare sneaks one, and after being scolded, four gulls attack the cake. They were working for the book's Big Bad, Ublaz, and had been sent to find the titular pearls, which the cake decorations resembled. | |

The Great British Bake Off: More usually involves the cake mix or other ingredients—although it's not uncommon for finished products to collapse as well, notably Rob's Genoese sponge disaster in series 2. Luckily, when things end up on the floor, it's usually early enough in the round to start over—or in Rob's case, miraculously rescue two of the three delicate cake layers and end up being highly praised for their quality. | |

The Simpsons: Invoked as part of a scam played by Homer and Bart. Bart portrayed a blind kid with a cake for his deaf sister (really just a frosted throw pillow) and stood next to someone so they would knock it over. Then Homer stepped in and threatened the mark to pay them for the "cake". In "500 Keys", Homer buys a cake at a store specializing in wedding cakes from cancelled weddings. He is determined to get it home safely, leading to some reckless driving. In "Chief of Hearts", Homer accidentally puts himself on Red Alert, so he and Chief Wiggum change the warning from a picture of Homer to Moe. Cut to Moe surrounded by angry townspeople while carrying a cake. |

Cake Boss: A four-tiered birthday cake with handmade decorations had to be carried down the stairs, but first it had to be lifted over the banister. One of the guys wasn't ready, and in an instant the top three tiers tip right off. About 30 pounds of cake ended up on the floor. Miraculously, Buddy & Co. were able to recreate the entire cake in one and a half hours. Another example, this time in the "wrong destination" area: Buddy's young delivery boy delivered the wrong cakes twice in one day, prompting Buddy and his cousin to punish him by dousing him with flour and water. |

Happens twice in That Darn Cat! when the FBI Agent is following the cat through a drive-in theater. The first time, an employee carrying a tray of deserts in each hand trips over the Agent (who is crawling to avoid blocking the view for the patrons) and spills the food all over his boss. The second time, the same employee manages to deftly avoid both the cat and the agent, smiles in satisfaction, and then turns around and crashes right into his boss who was trying to chase the agent out of the theater, getting the food all over the boss yet again. | |

In an episode of School Rumble, Tenma makes two cakes, one for Karasuma for his birthday, and one for Harima's recent promotion. When Tenma leaves them unattended, Harima knocks Karasuma's cake over and ruins most of the inscription with only "ma" left. Harima assumes that he's destroyed his own cake and attempts to fix it before Tenma finds out. Cue some serious confusion when Tenma presents Karasuma's cake to him to find that she now has two cakes inscribed with "Harima". | |

In the Power Rangers Time Force episode "Beware the Knight", Trip was sent to pickup a pizza the Rangers ordered, and on the way back home, he stopped to have a bite out of it (mainly because he was hungry), when he was attacked by the Monster of the Week and the pizza got ruined. When he finally got home, nobody believed that he was attacked and they all though that he just messed up. At the end of the episode they send him again for another one and returns with a destroyed pizza again, but this time he says that he just tripped up. | |

Done with a twist in Practical Magic (the book that inspired the film). Younger sister Kylie makes a cake as a peace offering for older sister Antonia, with whom she had a fight. While she's carrying the cake to where she knows she can find her sister, she gets assaulted by a strange man. Though she escapes to safety, she's covered in the cake, which she sort of used as a defensive weapon. It still achieves the desired objective, though; she reaches Antonia, who helps her clean up, and the incident heals the breach between them. | |

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse: While trying to make it to his dad's party for being promoted to police chief, Miles brings two cakes (as the long message he asked for at the bakery couldn't fit on just one cake) and runs into numerous mishaps while heading home, such as forgetting he left the cakes on the roof of a taxi and having to run after it to get them back. By the time he finally gets to the party and reveals the cakes to his parents, one of the cakes is broken down the middle and the icing for both of them is ruined, with his long and heartfelt message being reduced to the words "I'm not proud". | |

Power Rangers: Almost any shot that included Bulk and Skull from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers and a cake generally resulted in this. Probably the most memorable was the episode "Peace, Love and Woe," when after destroying a cake, Ernie, the owner of the juice bar, banned them until they paid him for it. At the end of the episode, Ernie caught them wearing disguises to violate the ban and Bulk decided to get the money from the "bank," which happened to be his foot. The money was so smelly, Ernie fell on the replacement cake. In the Power Rangers Time Force episode "Beware the Knight", Trip was sent to pickup a pizza the Rangers ordered, and on the way back home, he stopped to have a bite out of it (mainly because he was hungry), when he was attacked by the Monster of the Week and the pizza got ruined. When he finally got home, nobody believed that he was attacked and they all though that he just messed up. At the end of the episode they send him again for another one and returns with a destroyed pizza again, but this time he says that he just tripped up. Power Rangers RPM had this at a wedding. Flynn, who supported the wedding on the grounds of "party!", spent the whole fight against the Wedding Smashers protecting the cake — only for the Rich Bitch in attendance to land in it trying to catch a bouquet. |

Sesame Street: In the first season, there was a series of "Song of _____ " skits, each devoted to a different number from 1-10 and showing various items in groupings of that number. The "Song of Eight", for instance, would show eight blocks, then eight clocks, eight puppets, etc. Each of these vignettes would climax with stuntman Alex Stevens (often erroneously credited as Jim Henson, who simply dubbed his voice) as a white-hatted baker attempting to descend a staircase with a given number of cakes, pies, puddings, etc., then tripping and falling to the bottom in a messy heap. Sally Cruikshank animated two segments about creatures called zerkels. One of them, Jake, accidentally dropped a cake he made into the water while trying to carry it across a lake on stepping stones. |

To their surprise, they managed to take it home without any accidents (to the cake, at least — the bakery was another story). After Tempting Fate by commenting on how unusual it was for them to actually succeed, they tripped and dropped the cake. They even tried to bake a new one but lost Kenan's Dad gift to Kenan's Mom in the dough. | |

One Stargate SG-1 fanfic features the team attempting to transport a cake secretly through the 'gate. (They were going offworld on Daniel's birthday.) Although it made it all around the base, through the 'gate, to another planet, and around that planet for quite a while, eventually, it explodes. Which explains Daniel's haircut at the beginning of the third season. | |

PaRappa the Rapper: The Title character has only the best of intentions when he buys Sunny Funny's birthday cake, so his self-important rival loses no time in tripping him while he carries it home. To add insult to injury, Parappa somehow manages to drop the cake safely face-up...and then land face-down in it. Later, Joe Chin's enormous layer cake meets the same fate in the background of another scene. |

In the Goosebumps book The Cuckoo Clock of Doom, the main character Michael is carrying his own birthday cake, when his bratty sister Tara trips him, causing him to land face first in it. When he starts going backwards in time, he tries to prevent the tripping, but it still happens anyway. When Michael relives his birthday a third time at the end of the story he manages to carry the cake to the table without incident. | |

In The Sandlot, during the chase scene with The Beast, two chefs carrying a gigantic layer cake for a Founder's Day Picnic are in the path of the runners. Benny jumps over the cake, the Beast runs under it, and the other kids jostle the chefs as they run around it (while Ham runs back and grabs some of the frosting before continuing the chase). It seems like a subversion as the chefs are able to place the cake on a table without anything happening...but then, a clown on stilts loses his balance when the kids run by him and falls onto the table, launching the cake into the air and landing square on the poor chefs, covering them with frosting and pastry. | |

One episode of Kekkaishi had the Yoshimori help a ghost of a former pastry chef complete his Ghostly Goals of comforting his brother, who was mourning his untimely death, by recreating a cake he once made when he was little to cheer up his brother after their parents died. After many exhaustive attempts trying to create the perfect cake (doubling in difficulty since the ghost's incorporeal nature makes it so he has to direct Yoshimori to making the cake himself), they hurry with Ogata and her butler's help in their car. However the butler's reckless driving damages the cake, which the brother surprisingly accepts as the cake his late sibling baked because he did a shoddy job baking the cake when they were little (regardless it was the act himself that he cherished). His acceptance of the cake is enough to allow the ghost to pass on. | |

The main problem is that the cake isn't even what he ordered (duck).

In Anne of Ingleside by Lucy Maud Montgomery, five-year-old Rilla (youngest daughter of Anne of Green Gables) is told to take a cake to a church fundraiser. Rilla is very reluctant to do so because she's under the impression that it's disgraceful to be seen carrying a cake in public, so she dumps the cake into a nearby river the first chance she gets. She then feels very foolish when she runs into her much-admired Sunday School teacher, who's bringing her own cake to the church. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: In "Pizza Delivery", SpongeBob and Squidward have to deliver a Pizza to a customer for the new Krusty Krab pizza delivery service. After a long, grueling journey through nowhere, SpongeBob reveals he can ride a rock as if it was an animal, and rides it to the customer, who was right next to the Krusty Krab. The customer rejects the pizza because it didn't come with a drink. Not amused at all, Squidward gives it to him by force. In "Big Pink Loser" when Patrick is working at the Krusty Krab, he tries to take a job bringing customers' orders to their tables, but eats the food. When SpongeBob tells him to make sure the food gets to the table, he brings the order to the table, only to immediately eat it in front of the customer. In "Waiting", Patrick successfully delivers a piece of cake to SpongeBob but ends up eating it whilst looking for the fork he brought. |

Unfortunately, Pinkie Pie has been trying to liven up the festivities, and chooses that moment to do a stage dive onto Applejack's dessert cart. The cake goes flying, and it kinda goes downhill from there. "MMMystery on the Friendship Express": Pinkie Pie is tasked with delivering a massive cake by train to a dessert-contest, but it gets (partially) eaten en route. Hilarity ensues when she and Twilight Sparkle play Holmes and Watson to catch the culprit. "Slice of Life": Carrot Cake is crossing the street with Matilda's wedding cake on his back, just as Vynil Scratch's mobile DJ booth comes rushing down. Naturally, it results in a collision, although the cake miraculously ends up whole and undamaged. |

An early sequence in Easy Money has Rodney Dangerfield and Joe Pesci having to transport a gigantic wedding cake in their van. After laboriously loading it up, they do some other errands before having to brake suddenly, sending the cake smashing into the windshield. Something of a Lampshade Hanging, as the sequence seems to play on the audience's expectations that the cake will be destroyed, and it takes so long to happen that they may start to doubt the film is going to do it. | |

Top Gear: One event in the Lorry Challenge was for each presenter to carry a fragile or dangerous object in the back of their truck to be delivered safely at the end of an alpine handling course. James May got a massive wedding cake that fared about as well as you would expect. | |

In the South Park episode "Hell on Earth 2006", Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and John Wayne Gacy have to deliver a cake shaped like a life-sized Ferrari to Satan for his Halloween Party. They end up accidentally destroying the cake and killing each other whilst they try to bake a new one. | |

In Nancy Drew, Ned brings out the cake at Nancy's birthday party (which has gotten a little out of hand)... only to have one of the wilder partygoers crash into it accidentally. | |

One minigame in Rayman: Raving Rabbids involves trying to carry large towers of food to a patron. Chances are it'll all topple over when the player is steps away from success. | |

Too many times on The Three Stooges to count. One egregious (but hilarious!) example was in An Ache in Every Stake, when a passerby got his cake destroyed three times. | |

Mary Worth: Mary helps out some poor schlub in his big ambition to enter a cake-baking competition — somehow their carrying the cake is shown as high drama. | |

In the last season of Never Have I Ever Len just wanted to treat his fiance Nirmala to a apple-shaped cake he customized for her after dinner with her granddaughters, mother-in-law, and a couple of guests where he makes the pun about the eye in the middle of the cake, he didn't count on Ben Gross (who has dated both Len's future granddaughter and the main character Devi and one of the guests Margot) to appear with a bouquet high as a kite and get freaked out about the cake to the point he destroys it. | |

Friends: In one episode the gang are throwing a surprise party for Phoebe's birthday. Ross walks in carrying the birthday cake and drops it when the guests, who thought it was Phoebe walking in, all yell "Surprise!". Everyone crowds around the table trying to fix it and don't notice that Phoebe's arrived until she asks what the cake was supposed to say. | |

One episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch ended with Sabrina throwing away an anti-embarrassment banana peel, reckoning it no longer has any magic. Moments later Libby walks past carrying a large cake for the football team. Cue her slipping on the banana peel, falling over and face planting into said cake. | |
