May's Cake House

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to May’s Cake House with a truckload of fresh pastries. As he unloaded crates onto the sidewalk, something peculiar happened: every time he reached for a box labeled ‘Chocolate Delight,’ it seemed to slip through his fingers and float gently into the air. Finally, exasperated, the driver called out, ‘Hey, Chocolate Delight, if you don’t want to be eaten today, stop playing these tricks!’ And just like that, the boxes stopped floating, everyone burst into laughter, and the day resumed its usual sweetness. The only mystery left was whether anyone would ever see the cake house’s delivery guy again.

2. At dawn one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to May’s Cake House and noticed an unusual sign on the door: ‘Today’s Special – Cakes That Make Your Day Better.’ Curious, he entered only to hear over the loudspeaker: ‘Welcome! Please take two samples—one for yourself, and another for your friend who hasn’t visited yet today.’ As he sampled the delectable treats, he suddenly felt an urge to share them with everyone around him. Exiting the shop, he started offering pieces to passersby—a regular, a neighbor, even a squirrel or two. By noon, May’s Cake House had become the town’s impromptu cake party, with people laughing, chatting, and enjoying free pastries until the last crumb was gone.

3. At dawn one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to May’s Cake House and noticed an old lady whispering into her cake box. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, curious, ‘what are you doing?’ ‘I’m talking to Auntie Flo,’ she replied with a smile. ‘She always helps me bake the best cakes.’ The delivery driver blinked, then burst out laughing. ‘Auntie Flo must be quite the baker!’ And from that day on, whenever anyone asked for the secret ingredient in May’s famous cakes, they’d just say, “It’s Auntie Flo.”

4. At dawn one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to May’s Cake House and noticed something strange: every time he looked into the window, there seemed to be an extra cake on display. Curious, he counted again—sure enough, another vanilla layer cake appeared out of thin air. Overwhelmed with curiosity, the driver decided to stay for breakfast. The owner, Mrs. May, greeted him warmly, offering freshly baked pastries. Turns out, she’d been adding an extra cake each day just because she loved seeing people smile.
