    Nice when the permies bring in cakes for their birthday. No idea who's birthday it is but will be going for seconds shortly.

    one office i worked in all the office would bring in cakes 2-3 times a week.

    you could tell when the contractors brought in stuff as the quality went from tescos jam doughnuts to crispy creme

      If you are working at the BBC then it is my wife, she spent last night cooking cakes for her leaving.

        Your right, it's Tesco jam doughnuts, and eclairs.

          When permie, I'd use any excuse to bake a chocolate cake for the team, birthdays, Eid, Hanukkah etc.. and when I finish a contract I usually take one in too.
          I love baking, and people seem to really enjoy home made stuff.
          I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

              Does this mean you'll be on your toes soon as well?

                the office i worked in, it was any old excuse for cakes or biscuits.

                i remember asking someone if it was their birthday or summat and the reply was "no, it's wednesday!"

                    Tesco doughnuts are sometimes really good. The problem is the quality is quite variable... I only buy them when they look light and fluffy instead of thick and stodgy.

                    Personally, I really like apple ones. But Fudge doughnuts (custard filled, fudge on top) are my favourite when I missed breakfast to run for the train and it's cold and raining... or used to be before I worked from home. I do miss them...
