Today I celebrated Precedent's Day. I know what you're thinking, that's unprecidented, right? Sure. Thjings at the HeAP offices get a bit out of control sometimes, but even we have to join the ranks of the partying masses every so often to balance our hectic workloads and blossoming baking prowess. By the way, these buns won't be burning anytime soon.
First thing we did was set up a buld your own cake station in the break room. If you've ever seen a break room picture that. Mundane blue walls covered with motivatuonal posters. teamwork. chivalry.

You remember those popcorn tins with dividers separating each of the various flavors? Imagine that in a large bag of hardened tie-dyed sugar and you get the idea.

Other cake condiments and toppers available included marshmallow goo, strawberries, cheese spread, taco seasoning and candles.

That sounds like something Pen15 would do.
