When I got this job we managed to convince mgmt to let us set up celebrations for people's birthdays and what-not
So 2-3 times a month there's cake and food and pies all over the place. I love it cuz I like eating.
Do your place of work or school or home celebrate this way? How do you celebrate?
My brother's birthday was yesterday so we're celebrating everybody (it's father's day)'s nonsense this saturday.
God I hate cake. Why can't we have fudge.
We don't really celebrate that way at work. Only thing I suppose might count is we had a dinner/meeting at a steakhouse. I want to work at a place that gives you lunch buffets every day.
I hate cake.
Also, I made this last weekend:
Attachment 34453
I'm in charge of organizing the celebrations for my place of work. We do ask the employees to bring potluck stuff and we provide main courses, and we have a birthday cake every third Friday of each month.
Next Friday we're having a cookout. I have to think of something to bring and find some really cheap ground beef somewhere. Hopefully somewhere that will form it in to patties for me. And also hotdogs.
My boss takes the whole team out (7 people!) to a restaurant of the birthday boy's (the whole team is dudes) choice. It is super duper awesome, I don't think there's any month overlaps for anyone on the team so it's spaced out really well.
what is that? is it a cake?Quote:

Yeah, and it tasted pretty good for being a cake. I made a white cake recipe (with cake flour--big difference!) and added lemon, and then I drizzled honey between the layers. It's the closest I've ever come to liking cake.
I hate cake, pie, and almost all other types of baked deserts. I am a heathen and should be lynched for my crimes.
Seriously. You get a little worse every day.
I know a lot of people who don't care for cake, but pie?? You're the first pie-hater I've heard of. That's like saying "I don't like bread." There are a billion kinds of pies.
How the smurf can you people not like cake?
It's stupid and tastes bad.Quote:

Cheesecake is not cake. I love cheesecake.
I get my stupid name on the TV screen on every room once every three smurfing hours. Of course, my twin sister is infinitely more popular than I, so it's kinda worthless. :/
We can't be friends anymore. :colbert:Quote:

Brownies > Cake > Cheesecake > Beignets > Crumbles/Crisps > Cookies (only if chewy) > Pies > Tarts
Got I dislike tarts. What a waste of a dessert course. I mean, just randomly eating a tart during the day is fine. But when it's an actual dessert course it's like, really? A tart?
Peegee are you trolling me? I start diet and exercise and you won't stfu about food.
omg i want cheesecake now, tortehosen
Okay, fine. I don't hate any of those things, but I would rather eat something else than cake or pie. I don't like the texture of pie crust, which is weird. I know a lot of people that don't like cake or pie. Maybe you just need to socialize with different people.Quote:

Cheesecake is the best, there's no denying that. How can you not like even red velvet cake? It's delicious.Quote:

I have never liked pie and have been vocal about it for years. Pie has many qualities that are easy to dislike.Quote:

ice cream cake doesn't count as cake miriel
it is superior to cake
ice cream > ice cream cake > cheesecake > pie > milkshakes > fudge > fondue > tart > crepes > * > cake
Ice cream is a dessert, but not a baked dish. It's in a whole separate category. And brownies a la mode > everything else. Except for possibly a oreo/white chocolate pizookie which is the greatest thing in the world.

Maybe it's because of where I'm from, but what about cobblers? Blueberry, raspberry, peach, pear, apple. You bring me some cobbler a la mode and I'm happy.
I forgot about brownies. Mmmmm browniesQuote:

I don't know why the hell this is so popular with my roommates years and years ago, but it was. It's just whipped cream and chocolate wafer cookies
I can also make creme brulee but nobody likes it. My brothers say 'it's too sweet' and they eat sugar out of the bag.
My english teacher in hs used to have a cake for people's birthdays. We had a lot of double ups which was a bitch, but plenty of cake was enjoyed.
Even when I ended up in another class for senior I wandered over for cake day :jess:
