A trope that is little-used these days without actually being discredited, this could be found occasionally on Dom Coms up until the early 1970s, particularly those with child characters. A cook is attempting to bake a soufflé for a fancy party or important dinner. Unfortunately, they must do so under riotous circumstances, with a consequent paranoia about the soufflé collapsing. Naturally, some event — rambunctious children or a slamming door or a car backfiring — does indeed make the soufflé fall, thus "spoiling" the event. Two variations on this trope exist: In one, the rambunctious behavior around the soufflé is quieted down with no ill effects, only to have a relatively-distant disturbance (slamming door, car backfire) collapse the soufflé after it is "safe" (the soufflé can be replaced by say, a sleeping baby). The other works much the same, except that it is the cook themself who triggers the collapse. In reality, the only way to drop a soufflé into a puddle of goo is to: Open the oven prematurely (sponge cakes are also subject to this). Improperly construct it so that the fat in the yolk mixture destabilizes the foamy whites mixture. Refer to the relevant Good Eats episode. What Alton Brown doesn't say, though, is that it is laughably easy to do this, especially given mid-20th century ingredients and equipment, hence the origin of the trope in the zeitgeist. See also Carrying a Cake and Prop. |

On Cyberchase, Matt and Digit are competing in a televised cooking competition with Hacker and one of his henchmen (Buzz). Buzz tries to sabotage Matt and Digit's soufflé by creating a loud noise to make it fall flat, but Digit, who has repeatedly been stated throughout the series to have some degree of cooking skill, says that it was possible to re-inflate the soufflé by using a certain number of drops of water on it at a certain rate. | |

Dave the Barbarian makes an 'Armageddon Soufflé', not realizing that it is "not only a tasty end to any meal, but a tasty end ... TO THE WORLD!" It wreaks havoc, only being collapsed when Dave's family chops down a tree, which lands on Dave's toe and makes him scream like an opera singer. | |

Happens on the Classic Disney Short "Mickey's Birthday Party" with the cake Goofy is making. The first time the cake comes out fine, but when Goofy sticks a straw to see if it's done the cake deflates like a balloon. The second time, Goofy is trying to sneak away quietly but trips on a rolling pin, causing the cake to collapse so hard it breaks through the floor. | |

Food Wars!: During a challenge where the students are required to serve 200 servings of an egg-based dish within a time limit, Soma makes the nearly fatal mistake of serving soufflé omelettes that collapse way too quickly after they are made. He recovers by throwing away all the collapsed omelettes and turning the process of making the omelettes into a performance so that people will take them immediately after they are made. | |

Garfield has an aversion in a situation where there would be an actual danger in Real Life. Garfield appears to be watching a horror movie, covering his eyes at the "scary part" as someone on TV (not shown) opens a door with a "creeeeeeek" sound effect. In the last panel, Garfield sighs in relief as the person on TV... pulls out a "perfect soufflé". | |

In the Total Drama episode "If You Can't Take The Heat", Lindsay and Gwen are put in charge of the citrus-macadamia upside-down cake flambé for the cooking challenge, but they pour too much flammable liquid on it and Heather's attempt to light it ends up burning off her eyebrows. They try to salvage it by covering the whole thing with orange sauce, but the second Chris' fork touches it, it deflates into a tiny, inedible ball of ash. | |

In the Marisa Berenson episode of The Muppet Show, the Swedish Chef makes a wedding cake for Miss Piggy's Real Fake Wedding which is "light as a feather". It collapses when the Chef puts the Miss Piggy on top of it. A variation from a different sketch: The Swedish Chef's soufflé comes out of the oven so light it actually floats into the air. He shoots an arrow at it in an attempt to get it to fall down. It falls down, all right... in both senses of the word. |

In Go West, Young Lady, Bill is cooking a souffle when Tex arrives to propose. She warns him not to make any loud noises. After several near misses, she accepts, which causes Tex to whoop and charge out, slamming the door, which causes the souffle to fall. Bill makes another one, only to have this one fall when Killer Pete enters the dance hall and fires several shots into the ceiling. | |

However, since he's the universe's personal chewtoy, his delicate dessert is ruined by his brutish classmate, Dylan. Laughing, the bully strolls away with Jolynda in tow, leaving the poor antenna-haired teenager to stew in his culinary failure. | |

Spoofed in Chowder. Mung and Shnitzel creating a giant "house of cards" soufflé in the beginning of one episode was just asking for trouble. Chowder completely destroys it by rolling a giant wawamelon over it. One episode has Chowder become unable to open his mouth without unleashing fire at a time when the Catering Co. has an order for a Barbershop Soufflé, which requires 4 people to sing in order to rise. When Chowder opens his mouth, the soufflé is instantly ruined. |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: In "Sacrifice of Angels", when the station is under Dominion control, Quark and Ziyal try to bring a soufflé to a group of prisoners. Naturally, the guard demands to investigate it, and is only made further suspicious when Quark gets nervous and invokes this trope as the reason... giving Ziyal a chance to get behind him while he's distracted and knock him out with the Off-Button Hypospray, causing his head to fall into the soufflé and crush it. Quark briefly expresses regret for his soufflé, but gets over it since it was only meant as a decoy and therefore served its purpose. Also referenced by Sisko, when he relates to how his father used to say: "Worry and doubt are the greatest enemies of a great chef. The soufflé will either rise or it won't; there's not a damn thing you can do about it, so you might as well just sit back and wait and see what happens." |

Arthur: The episode "Arthur's Family Feud" involves either Arthur or D.W. destroying their dad's soufflé by making it fall... off the table and onto the floor, that is. The relevance of it being a soufflé was that Mr. Read had never successfully made one before and was especially crestfallen that his hard work had gone to waste. The bulk of the episode involves their dispute over who was to blame for it. In "Dad's Dessert Dilemma," Arthur's dad experiments with combining different desserts, to little success. One such creation is cinnamon toast soufflé, which deflates as soon as he takes it out of the toaster. |

Played with in an episode of The Nanny; Niles has just been told that the very complex meal he's been killing himself making is now worthless because their guest is recovering from a heart attack and needs a special menu. When Max opens the door and asks what smells so good, Niles snaps: "Oh, just a chocolate soufflé that's been rising. Don't need that." (Slams the oven door closed HARD with his foot.) | |

One of the winter My Little Pony: Equestria Girls shorts puts a more realistic spin on the threat of this: Pinkie Pie is attempting to get a soufflé to Rarity, an endeavor which has failed in the past because she was too slow and the pastry collapsed when it cooled down too much. On top of this, she has to get it through a massive snowball fight in her front yard: as Sunset Shimmer realizes, one hit and the soufflé is done for. | |

Gaston Lagaffe once baked an enormous soufflé to cheer up his chronically depressed cousin. Initially it seems to work, but it collapses at a critical moment, resulting in the "most depressing sight ever." Probably justified, since Gaston is a Cordon Bleugh Chef often bordering on a Lethal Chef. | |

The Fairly OddParents!: A plot point early in an episode: Timmy's mom tries to make a pink soufflé, which collapses and turns grey (due to her poor cooking skills, rather than noise). Later, when Timmy makes a wish that everyone and everything were the same, the world goes grey-scale, and everyone becomes identical blobs. Cosmo and Wanda can't find Timmy until he recreates his trademark pink hat using another of his mother's collapsed soufflés, which was supposed to be grey. In another episode, Timmy wishes Jorgen to his location while the latter was making a soufflé. Jorgen then threatens Timmy that if his soufflé were to fall, he would bake him a mighty cake of death. |

In the MasterChef semi-finals, the contestants had to make a chocolate soufflé. Whitney, the eventual winner had a case of both Carrying a Cake and Endangered Soufflé as she had to hurry and present the soufflé to the judges as the soufflé slowly sank. Similarly, one episode of MasterChef Junior involved baking a soufflé using dark chocolate, milk chocolate, strawberries, or blackberries. Addison's blackberry soufflé won the challenge, but Zac's milk chocolate soufflé collapsed because he didn't whisk the egg whites properly. |

In Beetle Bailey, a similar thing is a recurring theme with Cookie's cakes, which can apparently be deflated by loud bangs when in the oven — he even has a cake of potential Guinness World Records size fail due to a massive simultaneous artillery practice barrage being initiated at the critical moment. | |

Oswin in the Doctor Who episode "Asylum of the Daleks" keeps trying and failing to make a soufflé. Turns out it was just a fantasy in her mind and the soufflés were a subliminal reminder that she had been transformed into a Dalek ("Eggs-stir-min-ate"). | |

The Day My Butt Went Psycho!: Lampshaded in one episode when Deuce and Elanor's fighting is wrecking everything Zack does. He comments that he probably picked the wrong day to bake a soufflé. Just as he takes it out of the oven, Deuce and Elanor thunder past. Miraculously, the soufflé survives. Then Deuce returns to shout (through a megaphone) how amazing it is that the soufflé didn't collapse... | |

The Golden Girls: Although the soufflé in question is never seen (technically, it was some kind of cake with a very complicated name), in the episode where Rose is revealed to have a dependency on painkillers, she has violent mood swings when her prescription runs out; a local producer is trying to film a commercial in the kitchen with Sophia, and Rose comes in and tears him a new one for endangering the soufflé that no one knew she was making. Could this have been a Shout-Out to the MTM episode mentioned below? Season 4, "The Impotence of Being Ernest," they get it in a restaurant and it figures into a boner joke. So the real soufflé rises but the metaphorical one doesn't. |

Used straight but comedically in the notorious Sith Academy Slash Fic series; the humor of the situation comes from the fact that the person baking the chocolate soufflé is Darth Maul, a vicious-minded Sith Lord who otherwise has the patience of a hyperactive weasel, while what causes it to collapse (and Maul to fly into a homicidal rage) is two Jedi Knights (Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui Gon Jinn, as it happens) having noisy sex in the apartment next door. | |

A few The Three Stooges shorts have the men bake a cake. After getting it out of the oven, one of them pokes it with a fork to check if it's done, causing it to deflate. To reflate it, they use the gas line from the oven, which sometimes causes it to float away. Those cakes are served as birthday cakes with candles, which of course leads to Stuff Blowing Up when the birthday person blows out the candles. | |
