A White Lie Church Cake...
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.
When the daughter arrived at the
sale, 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, she 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."
