I made a cake and ate the whole thing. I then attempted to make another cake and the table took all ingredients (and stole two of the three buckets) and did not give me a cake. Anything I subsequently try to craft on the table, or in my basic crafting menu, will take the ingredients out of my inventory and not give me the product. If I save and leave the game I may craft again upon return ... Except for cakes. They restart the disappearing trick.
