Little White Lies @ the Ladies’ Bake Sale
What happens when little white lies turn full circle...
Dorothy 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.
Dorothy 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, Dorothy 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.
Dorothy was beside herself.
The next day, Dorothy 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.
Dorothy 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!”
Dorothy sat back in her chair when she heard the hostess (a prominent Church
member) say, “Thank
you, I baked it myself.”
