Funny Stories involving cakes:

Story Number 1 – My dad

One day in early March years ago, a friend and I were on break together in the ladies lounge. We got to talking about Dads and she said, "Yeah, today is my Dad's birthday!" I said, "Oh, mine's this month too (meaning my Dad's). She then asked me what day and I told her March 27th. She also asked me what my favorite cake was (I had no idea why) but told her it was German chocolate.

A couple of weeks later, I was plugging away at the switchboard when my friend and another co-worker came walking in my office singing "Happy Birthday" and they were holding this German chocolate cake! I looked at them with such a look of confusion that they stopped singing half-way thru the song and asked, "Today IS your birthday, isn't it?" I replied in bewilderment, "No, today is my Dad's birthday!" My friend retorted, "You told me your birthday was March 27th!" I replied, "No, I told you my DAD'S birthday was March 27th! We were talking about Dads remember? You must have misunderstood me!"

Eventually she asked, "Well, when is YOUR birthday then?" I replied, "May 12th" and she retorted, "Well, I'm not making you another cake!" and the three of us laughed about the misunderstanding! A little while later, I called my Dad to wish him "Happy Birthday" and said, "Hey, Dad, guess what? The girls at work made you a German chocolate cake!" He said,"What?" and I replied, "I'll tell you all about it when I come over after work with the piece of cake!"
 
Story Number 2 – Puccini

Giacomo Puccini was in the habit, every Christmas, of sending a cake to each of his friends. One year, having quarreled with Toscanini, he attempted to cancel the order for his cake. The item, however, had already been dispatched...

Puccini, peeved, promptly sent a telegram to Toscanini: "Cake sent by mistake." Some time later, he received a reply from Toscanini: "Cake eaten by mistake!"
