"Misery loves company"

 This is usually true but some people are loners by nature. And there are a lot of people who like to be left alone when they're upset.

“Piece of cake!”

Cake takes time and effort just like anything else, and it might end up terrible the first time. It’s not as easy as people say it is cause it doesn’t magically appear, you have to take the time to make it.

Maybe they mean that cake is easy to eat?

Go to the house and get a new needle.
