You are going to witness a shift of focus to cookies over cakes. Why? I cannot and do not want to eat all of this mess I am cooking. If I did eat it, I’d have to throw up about five times a day. Best thing to do is take the stuff to work.
Based on past experience I know that 1) cookies travel way better than cakes, 2) presenting the food in a bite-sized format makes it easy for folks to grab a piece, 3) one out of five people at work can’t make the effort to cut a goddamn cake correctly, and that part really irritates me.
See, at work my nice yellow-frosted cake starts out looking something like this:
Then, after a few people have at it, it looks something like this:
You want to know why that happens? Because some people refuse to cut from the center of the cake out to the edge. You want a small piece? Cut a *thin* *slice.* Put your the end of your knife in the center, then press down. Don’t come by and hack off a goddamn hunk of the corner. It fucks everything up.
I imagine the perpetrator is probably in the same lot as those who drink all the coffee and don’t start a new pot. Pisses me off. No cake for you!

Oh the humanity!
Trust me, this happens to all of us. You make a treat and bring it in, your coworkers will tear at it like zombies. My favorite used to be with cupcakes and some people cutting the TOP off the cupcake and leaving the wrapper and cake inside. WTF?
