The older I get, the faster I used to be ...
I am uneasy about carrying anything too hard or pointed in jersey pockets, just in case. I know one rider who wrecked his back after falling on his mobile phone. Cake should be OK thoughDon't have a bag, just jersey pockets.
Inner tube, tyre levers, repair outfit, house key, piece of cake in tinfoil.

Don't have a saddle bag but I have a bottle toolkit instead:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140597627183?ssPageName=STRK:null:IT#ht_1084wt_1116
Inside I have:
2 x inner tubes
1 x multitool (includes tyre levers and chain break tool)
1 x puncture repair kit (glue & patches)
1 x spare chain link
1 x £20
6 x cable ties
1 x rubber 'boot' (incase of sidewall split)
1 x small tube of chain lube (think hotel toothpaste tube size)
I also carry my mobile and a bank card in a waterproof pocket.
Both my bikes have separate toolkits (as one uses 23c tyres, the other 35c tyres) so I don't have to chop and change. Both bikes have a mini pump attached to the bottle mount.
Emergency contact details and medical info on dog tags round my neck.

Have you thought of carrying a can of the spray plaster? I always have a can in my toolbox for the odd cut and scrape.

I usually carry a spare rear light when commuting, but for some reason it wasn't in my saddle bag the other night when the one on the bike made a bid for freedom - luckily, I was able to retrieve it before it got run over but I've made sure the spare is in there in case of future occasions when I'm not so lucky.
