What did the cake on the table do to Alice in Alice in Wonderland?

Answer 1

Alice never finds a cake on a table in the book Alice in Wonderland.

She finds a cake under a table, which causes her to grow and some pebbles which have turned into cakes which cause her to shrink.

Soon her eye fell on a little glass box that was lying under the table: she opened it, and found in it a very small cake....She ate a little bit, and said anxiously to herself, `Which way? Which way?', holding her hand on the top of her head to feel which way it was growing....`Curiouser and curiouser!' cried Alice....`now I'm opening out like the largest telescope that ever was! Good-bye, feet!'

Alice noticed with some surprise that the pebbles were all turning into little cakes as they lay on the floor, and a bright idea came into her head. `If I eat one of these cakes,' she thought, `it's sure to make SOME change in my size; and as it can't possibly make me larger, it must make me smaller, I suppose.'

So she swallowed one of the cakes, and was delighted to find that she began shrinking directly.

Answer 2

The cake, marked with the words "EAT ME," causes Alice to grow taller.
