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.

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.
