{{trope}}
A trope that is little-used these days without actually being [[Discredited Trope|discredited]], this could be found occasionally on [[Dom Com
Two variations on this trope exist: In one, the rambunctious behavior around the souffle is quieted down with no ill effects, only to have a relatively-distant disturbance (slamming door, car backfire) collapse the souffle after it is "safe" (the souffle can be replaced by say, a sleeping baby). The other works much the same, except that it is the cook him- or herself which triggers the collapse.
Line 35:
* In ''[[The Brady Bunch]]'', Alice keeps trying to shush the kids and then collapses the souffle herself by knocking over a pan with a loud crash.
* An episode of ''[[Are You Being Served?|Are You Being Served]]'' had the opposite problem, in which Mr Humphries was trying to hold down a souffle that was growing out of control.
* In the ''[[Master Chef]]'' semi-finals, the contestants had to make a chocolate souffle. Whitney, the eventual winner had a case of both [[Carrying a Cake]] and
* In one episode of ''[[My Three Sons]]'', "Happy Birthday, World," son Robbie tries to earn extra money by setting up a home business making birthday cakes. At one point, while he's making a set of cakes, a door is slammed in the house and causes the three cakes in the oven to collapse.
** Oddly enough the cakes that do come out of the oven fine look very much to have been topped already and put back in the pans upside-down giving them perfectly square tops.
