Urban Legend:
Most everyone in town knows these two ladies, so they will remain anonymous for obvious reasons. [So reported a small-town Canadian newspaper in 1982.]
The first lady 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 out of the oven, the center had dropped flat.
Oh dear, there was no time to bake another cake, so she looked around the house for something to build up the centre of the cake.
She 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.
She then gave her daughter some money and instructions to be at the 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. The lady was beside herself.
A couple of days later the same lady 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.
After the lady saw the cake, she started to get off 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!"
The first lady sat back in her chair when she heard the hostess say, "Thank you, I baked it myself."
