truth bombs

We have a collection envelope and card sent round every time it's somebody's birthday. In a large office you can imagine it gets ridiculous as birthdays do tend to clump together and you can be asked to put-in up to three times a day some weeks. Always seems to come around the day before pay day too. I'd opt out and ask people not to bother come my birthday, but how else am I going to recoup what I've put in over the year? I guess it's like a savings scheme.

I like cake as much as the next man, or perhaps a tiny bit less

lol

no, cake is a legit gross food.

made worse by consumption in the middle of the day

yeah, i'm not gonna kill cake as a category but i find not eating a time-inappropriate, bad-for-you food in front of people i'm supposed to have a professional relationship with to be the easiest thing in the world.

i get excited about cake

then again i work from home so if somebody shows up at my door with a cake, its a pretty big deal

Nothing time inappropriate about a slice of cake with mid morning coffee.

cake is awesome sugar is awesome

I prefer the sugar in wine.

I prefer the alcohol in wine.

And the little bits of cork.

Cake on its own is fine but I find it most successful as a vehicle for excellent whipped cream

my office has a cake club. I JUST JOINED!!!
It's good because it keeps the cake for those who want to bake/eat it. Everyone else just has an average level of cake hysteria.

good cake is good, bad cake is sickly and pointless. such a range between the two tho, can't really umbrella it all as just "cake"

basically that sponge and butter icing shit that shop-bought kids' birthday cakes almost inevitably consist of is v. wrong, but you can't fuck with a decent coffee and walnut for example

Cake

caek

They order cake at my job every month. It's arrival in the afternoon is always announced over the p.a.by one of the senior editors who says it in this funny voice that makes everyone laugh.

Half of the office rises from their desk, walks down the hallway, and sings happy birthday, usually to the cake itself apparently since any birthday members with their name on the cake wouldn't be caught dead in front of that crowd. Then the cake is cut apart and segmented on to paper plates.

I usually get up from my desk about 20 minutes after the announcement is made and get my piece. Unlike in Office Space, it doesn't get eaten fast, so there's always plenty left. Last time, I went straight for the middle edge where the chocolate meets the vanilla part and got a flower in the process. Hey, it was my birthday after all and someone had already eaten my name.

i love cake and you're all a bunch of boringheads

i'd prefer pizza

^

i like pretty much all the deserts and also pizza

people want to bring me cool food, im with it

especially since the food i bring myself tends to be healthy and not that exciting

someone should start a shop called pizza boss where they make amazing edible pizza sculptures

what about a pizza cake

Sauce sourced from Sauce Boss

cheese boss, but then the bosses go to war

why do people hate cake

true story my parents arranged an incredible TMNT themed party for my 10th or 11th birthday which included a family friend coming to the door dressed as a pizza delivery guy and handing me a pizza box that when opened revealed a cake decorated to look like a pizza

prob the last time i ever enjoyed cake

a lot of cakes are gloopy diabetogenic crap but to hate the work of a talented professional patissier is something else

siiick xp

i'm not fond of icing myself. I love icing-free cake.

some types of icing are better than others

anybody ever had one of these?

The fuck is wrong with you people? Work cake is pretty much the only good thing about working in an office. You are a joyless fucking lot. Damn.

I meant to OTM lagoon and yell at the rest of you.

I mean I'm not gonna sing or anything like that but I'll gladly eat my cake after everyone has made small talk and gotten theirs.

erica you're bumming me out
