7 Break Room Cakes That Really Capture The Working Experience

Ahh, the break room cake. What can compare to that sugary harbinger of company-mandated merriment?

So since today is "Show & Tell Day At Work," and since we're not having THAT kind of celebration, here come a few gems from everyone's favorite Room Of Flickering Fluorescents & Microwaved Fish.

1) When you really hope someone double-checked:

Of course, you also hoped the baker would know how to spell "welcome," yet here we are.

2) The one perk to being on cake duty:

Blatant favoritism... to yourself. We see what you did there, Sandie.

3) Somewhere there's a Power Point citing this as a cost-effective morale-booster:

You're right, Dave, this is WAY better than bonuses.

4) Why you never let the "funny" co-worker order the cake:

::sighhhh::

5) Either Traci's having a baby or there's a new manager coming and we're all about to get fired:

Actually, given the way the boss #3 likes to combine occasions, it could be both. 

6) "Now, get back to work."

And finally:

 7) I'm really hoping Bob was a copy editor:

Two major misspellings, zero decoration, and wacky spacing - but it's the "BOb" making my eye twitch the most. Just me?

Thanks to Rachel K., Karen, Sheri T., Michael H., Amy J., Amanda M., & Ruth R. for going to work on these wrecks.

If you're blessed/cursed with a desk job, then these "Doggy Mood Cards" may be for you:

There are 24 different "moods" with hilarious doggy pictures you can flip to, like "In a meeting," "Keep walking," and "Get me out of here!”

Missed Marks: Fondant To Fondant Edition

You may have noticed that whenever we post a missed mark with a fondant inspiration cake, like this:

...and a buttercream wreck, like this:

...we tend to get a lot of the same complaints.

"You can't compare fondant designs to buttercream!"

"The second cake would have looked FINE if it was done in fondant!"

"This blog isn't funny anymore!"

So, in the interest of fairness and maximum "I told you so" potential, today's missed marks are ALL fondant.

ENJOY.

I don't know who needs to see this, but I found a plush anglerfish that's the cuddliest nightmare fuel ever:

Alvin the Anglerfish

Also its name is Alvin, but I thought only the females looked like this, so I tried googling it. This immediately resulted in a lot of NON-cuddly nightmare fuel, so I'm OK living with the mystery until someone explains in the comments.
