Wednesday - April 21

We knew it would be a good day when Adam came to visit. Adam always knows when there are treats in the office. He usually only comes when it is sunny out, but today, he ventured through the rain to bang his little bird face into the window.

Adam

(circled in yellow. He kind of blends in. Good for predators, bad for pictures)

Adam looks a little bit chubbier then the last time we saw him. He must be sneaking down to the lunch room to eat all the cake without letting us know.

Today, of course, Crazy Cake Lady started off the cake madness:

Yellow Cake with Chocolate Marshmallow Fudge Icing

It tasted kinda like pudding.. in a good way. We don't know what flavor "yellow" is, but somehow it was moist and delicious anyway.

OK, we aren't going to talk about CCL anymore because there were much better desserts today than hers.

At around 11 a.m. the secretary (No. 2), in her whispery, foreign-speaking voice called up to our office.

"There's cake in the lunchroom," she said.

Well yeah, we thought, there is always cake in the lunchroom.

"There's cake in the lunchroom for (mumble mumble's) birthday."

Um... OK secretary we'll go look....

Good thing we did. There were 3 cakes downstairs, to celebrate Mumble Mumble's birthday and to celebrate the Maintenance Man, who just bought a new house. We like the Maintenance Man; he fixes our heat and turns it back up to 74 degrees when it's broken.

We couldn't get a picture of one of the cakes, which looked like a white fluffy cream puff in cake form, because Crazy Cake Lady was standing over it the entire time. We asked her what it was and she said "I don't know it's Neapolitian, so it probably has strawberry and chocolate and vanilla in it." She was so wrong. It didn't have any of that. It had layers of phillo dough and cream frosting. We forgive her though, she's not a cake doctor yet!

Mushroom Cake

We don't know what any of these cakes really are, because no one gave us a straight answer.

"Hey, Boss Man's Wife, do you know why there are mushrooms on that cake? Is there a theme going on or something?"

"What?" Boss Man's Wife said. "Uh.. I think it's just decorations, that other cake has walnuts on it."

"Uhhhh......" I don't think she was right either.

We tasted it, but we couldn't figure it out. It kinda tasted like alcohol.

10-layer Sugar Rush Honey Cake

(The one "decorated" with walnuts)

And, to wash all the cake down and make us feel better about ourselves:

Fruit Explosion!!

We each had like 3 banana halves, 4 strawberries and 3 satsumas. And now, we feel like we are going to explode.
