it was a film in the 90s i believe. all i can remember is this sort of wacky couple, and i think they got a job house-sitting or babysitting the kid(s) or something like that. they were like con-artists, i think. they had this big house. and i remember this scene where they bring the child a birthday cake, and if i'm not mistaken, somehow the kitchen, or the whole house gets set alight. the child hates them from what i can remember and they're quite a weird, not very nice couple. it's quite a strange movie, it's a comedy. i remember the woman was very sort of outlandish...i'm sorry, i know it's vague, but it's just sort of at the back of my head. i tried doing plot and keyword searches on IMDB from what i know, but i couldn't seem to find anything. anybody have an idea of what it might be? it was a bit kind of like "don't tell mom the babysitter's dead" - that style

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of "Matilda."
Danny Devito and Rhea Perlman play the very mean mom and dad. They are both con artists (and both short and outlandish). The girl has magic powers and when they find out that she can foil their cons, they try to ply her with sweets, like a cake for instance.
