WOMAN DIES IN CAKE-EATING CONTEST

A woman died while taking part in a cake-eating competition to celebrate Australia Day. It happened in the coastal town of Hervey Bay, Queensland on Sunday afternoon. The 60-year-old was a contestant in the Beach House Hotel’s annual Australia Day lamington eating contest. Lamingtons, a traditional Australian dessert, are cube-shaped sponge cakes dipped in chocolate and covered in grated coconut. She reportedly had a seizure after she “shoveled a lamington into her mouth”. The woman was rushed to a hospital but later died.
* And they thought the competition was going to be a piece of cake.
* What’s worse, one guy stepped up and said, “Hey, since she’s not gonna eat those….”
* At least she died doing what I love.
* They’ve had minor incidents before, but this takes the cake.
