Baking for Booze
Word has spread around the office I’m capable of cake decorating so I found myself creating not one, but two birthday cakes over the weekend.
Now while I’m sure these cakes brought immense joy to small children and rabid, photo-snapping adults alike, let’s not forget to focus on the benefits to myself. The original intent in providing free cakes to co-workers was a pitiful attempt at saying “thank you” in exchange for not beating me to death when I inundate them with stupid questions, blank stares, furrowed eyebrows, repeats of the same stupid questions, confused squints and a final “Hell, I don’t understand!”
As is often the case, people will feel the need to provide some sort of payment for services rendered despite your protests. Fortunately, one of these said people has a relative that owns a liquor store. JACKPOT!!
I’ve already offered my services for every birthday, anniversary, First Communion, housewarming, elementary school bake sale, baby/wedding shower, Bar Mitzvah (who cares it they’re Catholic, diversify!), holiday celebration or other occasion which could possibly necessitate a cake. Or cupcakes. I’ll bake up anything for the sweet, sweet liquor.
You can see both creations in the photos section of my website at www.amyland.org/cakes. Just scroll to the end for the castle and number one gifts cake.
