Line 24:
* 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.
* In ''[[Black Butler]]'' Elizabeth comes after Ciel to bring him a slice of delicious cake and [[Cat Scare|nearly gets shot by him]]. The cake ends up {{spoiler|eaten by a zombie, who then tries to eat the characters.}}
* ''[[Miami Guns]]'': Nagisa's maid brings in a cake for her <s>30th</s> 18th birthday party, and trips... sending the cake, burning-candle-side down, into {{spoiler|a puddle of gasoline. Mayhem ensues.}}

Line 103 ⟶ 104:
** In "Waiting", Patrick successfully delivers a piece of cake to Spongebob but ends up eating it whilst looking for the fork he brought.
* Averted in the ''[[Curious George]]'' TV show episode "Special Delivery Monkey." Chef Pisgetti forgets to bring a pie to a meeting with prospective clients. George delivers it in perfect condition, narrowly avoiding disasters along the way. {{spoiler|Then subverted when the chef promptly shoves the pie in another man's face. "When you order from Pisgetti's, we guarantee that your pie in the face gag will never fall flat!" He's cheered by the prospective clients, who are clowns.}}

** Played straight in another episode where he buys a discount wedding cake (returned due to a cancelled wedding), gets in a traffic jam due to "[[At Least I Admit It|Yet Another Government Construction Project that Will Never End]]", and decides to take a shortcut using [[I Don't Like the Sound of That Place|Suicidal Moron Pass]]. Amazingly, Homer shows pretty good driving skills on the narrow mountain pass, avoids hitting two bikers, and gets home without hurting himself, the kids, or the cake. (But then he locks Maggie in the car with it.)
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' features this in "The Best Night Ever". When Applejack fails to sell her wares to the fancy upper-class ponies at the Grand Galloping Gala, she tries to impress them with a huge layer cake. 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 [[Disaster Dominoes|it kinda goes downhill from there.]]
** This trope is the premise of [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2/E24 MMMMystery on the Friendship Express|"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 Pinkie and Twilight play [[Sherlock Holmes|Holmes and Watson]] to catch the culprit.

* The Futurama episode ''The Mutants are Revolting'' began with the crew needing to deliver a nitroglycerin-laced souffle to Mrs. Astor. Surprisingly, they managed it, and it didn't even explode when eaten... until Mrs. Astor gave the leftovers to her dogs, at which point it promptly exploded.
