Line 21:
* The greatest risk of ''[[Ranma ½]]'''s [[Martial Arts and Crafts|Martial Arts Takeout Delivery]] isn't being late, but having your opponents destroy your delivery. Shampoo in particular has a food-exploding technique that blows up the contents of a takeout box by jabbing at it with a finger.
* The title character of ''[[Muteki Kanban Musume|Ramen Fighter Miki]]'' is a bicycle ramen delivery girl ... who gets into [[Chronic Hero Syndrome|fights during every delivery]], with [[Slapstick|predictable results]].
* In an [[Filler|episode]] of ''[[Bleach]]'', [[Got Volunteered|Yumichika]], [[The Heart|Hanatarou]] and [[Sweet Tooth|Rin]] [[BLAMNon Sequitur Episode|make a cake]] on behalf of the [[One-Shot Character|ghost of a dead baker]] who's unable to pass on until his mother has tried his cake recipe. After various [[Lethal Chef|mishaps]] during the making of it, it's finally presented to the grieving mother, who promptly rejects it. And then the distressed ghost accidentally knocks the cake onto the floor and a [[Monster of the Week|Menos Grande]] almost fries it with a [[Breath Weapon|cero]].
* One episode of ''[[Kekkaishi]]'' had the Yoshimori help a ghost of a former pastry chef complete his [[Ghostly Goals]] of comforting his brother, who was mourning his untimely death, by recreating a cake he once made when he was little to cheer up his brother after their parents died. After many exhaustive attempts trying to create the perfect cake (doubling in difficulty since the ghost's incorporeal nature makes it so he has to direct Yoshimori to making the cake himself), they hurry with Ogata and her butler's help in their car. However the butler's reckless driving damages the cake, which the brother surprisingly accepts as the cake his late sibling baked because he did a shoddy job baking the cake when they were little (regardless it was the act himself that he cherished). His acceptance of the cake is enough to allow the ghost to pass on.
* In ''[[Black Butler]]'' Elizabeth comes after Ciel to bring him a slice of delicious cake and [[Cat Scare|nearly gets shot by him]]. The cake ends up {{spoiler|eaten by a zombie, who then tries to eat the characters.}}
