Q:
Please show me example sentences with for me / to me.
A:
"My friend brought a cake for me":
This emphasises *giving*. The friend gives the cake to the speaker as a present. The cake first belonged to the friend, but now it belongs to the speaker.
"My friend brought the cake to me.":
This emphasises the *location*. The cake starts with the friend, and ends up with the speaker. But the cake probably still belongs to the friend.
You may also notice that the first sentence is "a cake" and the second is "the cake" - that's because in the second case we are more likely to be talking about one particular cake.
