@Teripie It was really good! I'm not 100% sure what kind it was. The top was vanilla I think, the bottom was marbled. There was a middle layer of pudding/cinnamon/coconut and the outside was almond/ amaretto frosting. Did I guess right @ignorant?
@hollboll@Teripie here's what I ordered: "1 layer of almond cake, 1 layer of marble cake with chocolate mouse filling and butter cream frosting...unless that doesn't sound like it works together" So sounds about right, they might have added changed something to make it better.
I really hope you appreciate the work that went into that. @Ignorant had to call like 20 bakeries before finding one willing to do a laxative-laced cake.
@lisaviolet@hollboll@moose@mehcus Speaking of the TP overstock, did the felt toilet paper holder ever show up from overseas? I owe eBay feedback on it.
@Pamtha They actually sent two of them. They did arrive safely and soundly. They're currently hanging off the robot in my cube. There was also the most adorable google translate email in it. I'm going to water color it.
@lisaviolet for some reason when I read your comment in my head it said "Holy sheet!" (as in sheet cake).. That's not at all what you wrote, but I think it works as well!
Now we know that we have an anarchist maniac in the office. Who cuts a piece of cake like this?! Do they just really hate blue frosting? Why not just cut out a triangle or circular piece, because apparently cake-related folkways don't mean anything anymore.
@Moose If you really want to confound people, try cutting a circular slice. Smile very wide and say, "Mmm, what a lovely cylinder of cake." Bonus points of someone else's monocle pops off onto their slice.
Mallrats! And no one seems to have a fork except @galmaegi - are you out already? Do you have to share? We could probably mobilize a group here to send more utensils ;-)
@hollboll - I sent a bunch in the birthday box. I guess I sent more spoons than forks. Seemed like a lot, but I don't really know how many people work there.
@jaremelz - That's what happened to me after I saw them eating ice cream with forks because they had no spoons. I sent a bunch of plastic utensils for their birthday. Now, I don't know if everyone would respond to another call for care packages. Anyway, you're better at mobilizing troops than I am, you can run with it if you wish. I do hate to think what would happen if they found @hollboll's secret stash.
@KDemo I sense a Christmas present for meh. But you're right, they may need some time to recover from @sohmageek and the amazing tp job. (and for the record, folks would follow you into Mordor without hesitation)
@KDemo I think there is danger of spoiling these guys. What if they did a video of them at a store check out and they dig up all their change to pay for something but come up short? They might expect us to feel sorry for them and send money.
@Teripie - Yeah, that might happen. And then, there might be a Periscope of them with a sad-eyed refugee baby and they would both look so hungry they might expect more cake! ;-)
@galmaegi@hollboll You say that now, but the ones I have are tiny enough to make eating with them nearly impossible. Hand them out to those you wish to annoy.
@KDemo You Rang... (yes I saw it earlier, but I'm no goat... well not yet apparently...) Fork drop... That may make me get a contest if I do end up being Goat... More to come in <5 days... Just thinking how I can make it more... interesting... fun... :)
@jqubed Oh and the uselessly weird office supplies they will probably receive... LOL (I cracked up when I read your comment - @snapster did you see that comment?)
Not only is it a cake delivered to our office, and not only does it say "meh," but it is actually written like our logo.
@Moose Did the bakery get the appropriate trademark permissions? Get the lawyers!
Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too?
Nice Job, @Ignorant!
Can confirm, it's beautiful, and delicious. :D
Yay! Glad it showed up and that it was tasty.
Happy birthday!
@Ignorant You are a hero!
@Ignorant AWESOME! The cake looked amazing!!!
@Ignorant Thank you!!! It was so good!
@Ignorant so if we tell you when our birthdays are, you will send cake ?
Way to have a cake delivered while I'm not at the office, @Ignorant. How rude.
@MEHcus all part of the plan :P
@MEHcus You can't blame @Ignorant. It's all @mfladd s fault!
@MEHcus don't worry, we ate your piece.
@MEHcus Wait. You're not at the office... and you're filling in for @JonT, who isn't at the office? @mfladd take note, the revolution continues today.
@editorkid @mfladd not at the office doesn't mean not working.
@MEHcus The hell it doesn't.
@MEHcus I've "worked from home" enough to know that very little work gets done.
What kind of cake was it? Looked sorta like Italian cream cake.
@Teripie It was really good! I'm not 100% sure what kind it was. The top was vanilla I think, the bottom was marbled. There was a middle layer of pudding/cinnamon/coconut and the outside was almond/ amaretto frosting. Did I guess right @ignorant?

"1 layer of almond cake, 1 layer of marble cake with chocolate mouse filling and butter cream frosting...unless that doesn't sound like it works together"
So sounds about right, they might have added changed something to make it better.
@Ignorant I definitely tasted cinnamon. :)
@Ignorant either way it was super tasty.
@Ignorant Chocolate mouse filling?
@rockblossom Hahahha whoops good thing that didn't happen.
I really hope you appreciate the work that went into that. @Ignorant had to call like 20 bakeries before finding one willing to do a laxative-laced cake.
@Starblind That's pretty thoughtful, it should help with the toilet paper overstock in the building.
@Starblind "fat free"
@hollboll "Fat free" "sugar free" "gluten free" "cake"
@lisaviolet @hollboll @moose @mehcus Speaking of the TP overstock, did the felt toilet paper holder ever show up from overseas? I owe eBay feedback on it.
@Pamtha They actually sent two of them. They did arrive safely and soundly. They're currently hanging off the robot in my cube. There was also the most adorable google translate email in it. I'm going to water color it.
@hollboll Squee! Pics or it did not happen.
@Pamtha
@hollboll OMG, you have a huge B-9 Robot from Lost in Space. I am soo jealous!
@hollboll Can we get a close-up of the sea monkeys?
@sammydog01 Yup! The water's kind of gross right now so I'll give them some time to eat their food and will post a vide soon-ish. They got so big!
How sweet!
@lisaviolet for some reason when I read your comment in my head it said "Holy sheet!" (as in sheet cake).. That's not at all what you wrote, but I think it works as well!
That is one quality icing logo.
Now we know that we have an anarchist maniac in the office. Who cuts a piece of cake like this?! Do they just really hate blue frosting? Why not just cut out a triangle or circular piece, because apparently cake-related folkways don't mean anything anymore.
@Moose the blue icing is lava
@Ignorant I want cake...
@thismyusername so do I :(
@Moose If you really want to confound people, try cutting a circular slice. Smile very wide and say, "Mmm, what a lovely cylinder of cake." Bonus points of someone else's monocle pops off onto their slice.
@thismyusername is it @KATYlava?
@Moose This is how I cut cake...I hate the over use of frosting.
@Moose They were playing Minecraft.
Mallrats!
And no one seems to have a fork except @galmaegi - are you out already? Do you have to share? We could probably mobilize a group here to send more utensils ;-)
@KDemo I have a box of tiny plastic cocktail forks at the ready.
@KDemo I thought we were, I used my secret stash of desk forks but found that we did have some after all.
@hollboll - I sent a bunch in the birthday box. I guess I sent more spoons than forks. Seemed like a lot, but I don't really know how many people work there.
@hollboll I'm sorry, what I'm hearing here is, "Help, we are desperate for a collection of whacky and/or tiny utensils!
@jaremelz
;-) Do we need @Somahgeek? Maybe we should wait for the annual statistical report.
@KDemo I might not be able to sleep knowing that at any moment, they could be left eating with just their fingers, like animals!
@jaremelz - That's what happened to me after I saw them eating ice cream with forks because they had no spoons. I sent a bunch of plastic utensils for their birthday. Now, I don't know if everyone would respond to another call for care packages.
Anyway, you're better at mobilizing troops than I am, you can run with it if you wish. I do hate to think what would happen if they found @hollboll's secret stash.
@KDemo I sense a Christmas present for meh. But you're right, they may need some time to recover from @sohmageek and the amazing tp job. (and for the record, folks would follow you into Mordor without hesitation)
@jaremelz Sure! Follow me, kids!
@KDemo Orc you kidding me?
@KDemo I think there is danger of spoiling these guys. What if they did a video of them at a store check out and they dig up all their change to pay for something but come up short? They might expect us to feel sorry for them and send money.
@Teripie - Yeah, that might happen. And then, there might be a Periscope of them with a sad-eyed refugee baby and they would both look so hungry they might expect more cake!
;-)
@jaremelz as long as they're forks. We usually have everything else but run out of forks. Usually we take a bunch from Chipotle when we go.
@jaremelz and wendy's
@galmaegi @hollboll You say that now, but the ones I have are tiny enough to make eating with them nearly impossible. Hand them out to those you wish to annoy.
Uh oh, @jaremelz, I see what's coming . . .
@galmaegi everyone knows Chipotle has the best forks.
@KDemo Yours is officially my favorite image of the week. And mine is so not aimed at you!
@KDemo respect for the mallrats notice.
@hollboll - haha - You're probably forgetting the sporks at Taco Bell.
@ChadP Respect back for noticing my notice.
@jaremelz - I like yours too.
@KDemo I'll just leave this here... http://amzn.com/B000ZNX3BA
@kadagan - Good call, wonder how long that would last? (With all the parties they have, I mean).
@KDemo I'm thinking we need like 100 people to send that to them! Maybe more!
@KDemo Past "nice" into "ridiculous".. Lol
@KDemo little known fact...Taco Bell doesn't have sporks UNLESS they share a location with KFC. KFC also has a new spork and it sucks!
@tightwad - Guess now it's just an ork.
@KDemo You Rang... (yes I saw it earlier, but I'm no goat... well not yet apparently...) Fork drop... That may make me get a contest if I do end up being Goat... More to come in <5 days... Just thinking how I can make it more...
interesting... fun... :)@KDemo Mehployees should create an Amazon wish list and Mehtizens could shop from it when we feel they look pathetic enough.
@looseneck say whatttt!?!?!?
@jaremelz Need list of animals that eat with their fingers? Like little tiny possum fingers?
@tightwad The taco bells around here mostly have sporks and they are not combination facilities.
@2many2no Hmm, maybe meh needs an office pet?
Only at Meh would the customers decide they should be responsible for office supplies instead of management.
@jqubed Oh and the uselessly weird office supplies they will probably receive... LOL (I cracked up when I read your comment - @snapster did you see that comment?)
I am jealous of your awesome cake. WTG @ignorant!
@dave
We thank you for recognizing us!
