Today is my birthday and to celebrate in true baker-fashion, I made myself a cake last night. It is my all-time favorite kind of cake in whole wide, wide world....cookie cake! I took time to decorate it and arrange it and then thought I would do something nice and share my cookie cake with my co-workers. At 7:30am, I brought the cookie masterpiece to the building's cafeteria and set it down as I have always done with ALL of my cakes. I planned to cut it during lunch and pass it around to everyone. Some people saw it and complimented me (but failed to say "happy birthday" even though the cake read- "happy birthday to me"...hmmmm) Anyway, around 10:15am, Heather asked me if I wanted to take a short break in the caf...I think we both needed a break from the lab. Naturally, I said OK and we went down the hall to cut my cake. Upon arriving, I noticed something strange, something shocking, and something awful....my birthday cake was already hacked into (crookedly, might I add). Who does that? Shouldn't the birthday girl get to cut her own cake? What kind of person says to themselves "hmmmm, here is a birthday cake for someone else...let me just cut into it, eat it, and leave." Grrrrrr. I give them angry eyes! Let this be a life-lesson to all those reading this blog. Never, ever, under any circumstances, cut into MY birthday cake before I do. Below is a picture of my poor cake post-thievery...
