[
Alice 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 from the oven, the center had dropped flat.She said, "Oh
dear,
there's no time to bake another cake."

So, she looked around the house for something to build up the center
of
the cake. Alice 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.
Before she left the house, Alice had given her daughter some money and
specific instructions to be at the bake sale the minute it opened, and
to
buy that cake and bring it home. But when her daughter arrived, the
attractive cake had already been sold. Alice was beside herself. The
next
day, Alice 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.

Alice saw the cake and started to get out of 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!"

Alice sat back in her chair when she heard the hostess (who was a
prominent church member) say,"Thank you, I baked it myself."
