Say it with pastry

[azurelunatic]

Without even asking, I know that I will not be allowed to cause a cake to be made with the slide that announced a specific unpopular decision from upper layers, then track down that decision maker, and stand by glowering as the cake is served. That is what we call a career-limiting move .

Even if I could, I would have to find a bakery under NDA.

I realized over lunch that internal catering have to have clearance to make various of the things they do.

Kat spoke to me of the ways of edible ink cartridges in regular inkjet, on ricepaper.

Purple suggested I have printed a blank of the slide, and pipe words on.

Kat suggested making a word scramble, farming out a small piece to each of a few bakeries, then playing puzzles on the blank.


I love my friends.

That would truly be a glorious edition in the genre of hatecakes but yes, as you say, career-limiting.

And the best part is, it's the glowering that turns it from a backpat cake to a backstab cake.

...oh, a Powerpoint slide.

For a while there I was imagining a playground slide, possibly in some sort of workplace equivalent of Snakes/Chutes and Ladders, where unpopular decisions cause you to slide down back to an earlier place on the board.

Work loves PowerPoint too much.

Whereas I just assumed that "slide" was some fancy-schmancy cake structure term-of-art I wouldn't know. Like "fondant" and those columns they sometimes use to separate layers of wedding cake.

I eventually figured it out.
