I book so much cake. = I bought a lot of cake. <--- This can be seen as a good or a bad thing. If you have a birthday party and there are 100 guests coming, then you want to buy a lot of cake to be able to feed everyone. Therefore this is a good thing.
I bought too much cake. = I bought an excessive amount of cake. <--- Usually seen as a negative thing. If you buy enough cake to feed 500 people and you only have 100 guests, this is a bad/negative thing because all that cake is going to go to waste.

"I have so much hair."
This is usually said when whatever the person is talking about is just a lot in general. This also might have a bit more emphasis than "I have a lot of hair." because in the 'a lot' version you are just saying that you have a lot of it, while for 'so much' you are saying that you are adding some emphasis with the 'so'.
"I have too much hair."
When you replace 'so much' with 'too much' it becomes negative. This means that the person who is saying this believes that they don't need so much hair, they don't want so much hair, or they can't have so much hair.
