Amsterdam's Schiphol airport is trolling London's Heathrow -- which just received the greenlight from the government to build a third runway -- with the promise of a cake delivery.

The Dutch hub has been taking advantage of the endless delays regarding airport expansion as limited capacity in the UK means a lot of air traffic is going through Schiphol to and from London.

In recent years, Schiphol has been sending consolatory cakes to the London airport every time the government of the time decided to delay a decision on airport expansion. Most recently, it was in July 2015:
