Sometimes, a plot involves or is centered around a character needing to carry a cake, pie, or some other food item toward a destination. This item never arrives as scheduled, it is usually dropped just before the destination is reached, stolen, or eaten by the characters carrying it. If the food item does arrive at its destination, it is never 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.
