* ''Webcomic/ModestMedusa'': When Jake and Charles are in jail together, the latter accused of killing the former, Modest pretends to be Jake's lawyer after playing ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' and gives him a store-bought swirly cake with a visible hole in it, hinting at its "special ingredient." Played for laughs as the police had already checked it and found it was just full of [[TabletopGame/PokemonTradingCardGame Pokémon cards]]. The pair use them to entertain themselves until they are released.

* ''Film/LostInAHarem'': In order to help Hazel, Peter and Harvey escape their cell early on, Prince Ramo smuggles a saw and other tools into the jail in a loaf of bread... though it doesn't work out like intended, because a guard hears the commotion and ends up opening the door and entering the cell, allowing the boys to trigger the derelict's BerserkButton and escape while he's attacking the guard.

* In ''Series/KenanAndKel'', Kel tries to get Kenan out of prison with a [[RefugeInAudacity VERY obvious]] [[http://youtu.be/49WAmkDAQeQ?t=3m10s saw in a cake.]] It's also a classic wood saw, whereas the prison is concrete and metal.

* ''Series/BigBrother'': Played straight in a UK series, with a prison task, in which half the housemates were prisoners, and the other half prison officers. A cake with "Shhhhh!" iced on it was delivered to the prisoners, containing instructions to find a secret passage to a luxury spa. The prisoners had to time their use of this carefully, because at certain times, they would be on CCTV to the prison officers.

* The Irish rebel folk song "My Old Man's a Provo":
-->My daddy's up in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HM_Prison_Maze Long Kesh]] now, to me it's just not right\\
I'll say a special prayer for him when I go to bed tonight\\
Today it was his birthday, I sent him in a cake\\
There was Semtex in the candles, he'll be out before I wake!

* The ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' Mickey [=MouseWorks=] short "Big House Mickey" has Mickey ask Goofy to bring him a cake with a file in it after Mickey is locked in jail. The guard notices; and he and Goofy end up having a long discussion on how this wouldn't really work and what tools should have been used, ending with the guard concluding that the easiest way to escape would be to knock him out and take his keys. The guard then demonstrates and proceeds to do so to himself. Goofy however says he still doesn't understand the whole "knock out the guard" thing, so the guard has to use every other guard in jail as examples. As the guard then uses his own head again as example, Goofy grins to the audience holding the baton indicating Goofy was [[ObfuscatingStupidity faking ignorance this whole time]].

*** The more common use of the explosive 'flour' though was to have a baker turn it into scones, biscuits, or other such small dense baked goods, which the operative could carry around in public without attracting attention. a few biscuits in a pocket looks like a snack or a worker's lunch, not charges for sabotage. Combine with some chemical-fuse time detonators disguised as ink pens and you could walk around a city looking perfectly innocent while placing sabotage charges. They would also sometimes mix the explosive with coal dust and glue to create fake pieces of coal. Mixed into normal coal where it would explode when put into the firebox, it was an effective way to damage trains and older civilian ships.
