do you really think it would've been better if the cake had been sitting on the edge of the counter? maybe a little bit more out of the way? potentially within a sudden movement away from falling over the side and have it splatter all over the floor therefore rendering it uneatable?

I know this stretch of counter very well. With the cake and pan going at approximately 0 mph. I believe it would have been perfectly acceptable for it to use the shoulder of the counter.

In the case that it would have fallen from the counter this would have relieved my "cake anxiety" therefore making me happy. Although the 5-second rule could have been applied.

same here, except my cake brought a friend over this morning to further take up space on my counter. Nice of you to sit side by side on the counter, instead of single file. Show some considersation

(my wife works nights and brought home more bday cake from work)

Great things never come from comfort zones.

You obviously don't know how to have self control. While the cake has a right to be there, you also have a choice to yell at it or slowly walk by it and ignore it. Also, if you use a mirror you might see that you actually don't need the cake despite how much you have a right to eat it.

Yes the cake has a right to be there and I also have a right to eat it......The problem is that this one cake is making it worse for cakes everywhere......cake eaters are going to get furious and just start eating cakes anywhere and everywhere....at any time of the day....

Just give the cake the finger......

ANTI-CAKE BIGOT!!!

That cake needs punished severely. If it were on my counter I doubt the wife and/or kids would have gotten any.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

this is easy!!!

just think of the white icing as the white line on the right side of the road.

If you're a "take the lane" guy then the cake is on the right side of the line (IMO a nice wide shoulder, clean and clear, but) YOU TAKE THE LANE - 'CUZ YOU D' MAN.

On the other hand...

If you're a "normal" rider who rides in the clean, clear and wide shoulder (Bike lanes - we have 'em everywhere here). We'll then the cake is on the left of the white line. And, you'll get squished by a Prius driving, texting, putting on makeup, burger eating (vegan, of course), overweight...

Now if it was a German Chocolate cake (made at the local European bakery), and we were in Wisconsin; then you'd have to sleep in the top bunk and make my bed (sorry I was thinking about Stripes - which I know is OT - but funny)

I dunno? I may need a video to help me understand the whole cake domination issue. Does the color of the pan help it become more visible or should one add brightly colored sprinkles to the icing?

You had to go making this about race didn't you?! At least there wasn't a terrible and offensive analogy involved :)

I could have possibly gave it the finger.....maybe just a little dip to taste the icing.

But would it have given me the finger back?

Probably.

Pink? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.

I am guessing at least a photo. If it hasn't been eaten I will be glad to provide one showing the horrible and dangerous choice of lane positioning it made.

Pictures or it didn't happen. But, cake's evil twin, aka "the donut" is making a visit to my house this afternoon. I suspect more than one of them. But I can assure you, they will not be there for long. They and their sprinkles will quickly vanish.

Why does the icing have to be white? #ChocolateIcingMatters

Has there ever been broken glass or sticks on your counter? If not, are there trees near your counter that could conceivably drop sticks onto it?

There are currently no trees that could drop sticks......possibly small children who could either leave "spills" or random cups/silverware in the lane.

did you honk at it to get out of the way?

I know this cake personally so I reached out to get his side of the story. According to the cake, you were pretty aggressive in your glaring as you passed by. In fact he was intimidated as you threatened to take a large bite out of it and then swore something along the line of "fuck you calories" as you made your way out the door.

what about the statistics on how many cakes get eaten when sitting in the middle of the counter vs. just on the side?











btw. I'm dying. Chapeau!

Oh I think I know who you are, el panadero ? Don't all your pastries have a certain rep on the counter?

Granted some of the "members" of the group have earned a certain reputation of being less edible than others. However, we are working as a club to be more accepted and to the calorie consuming crowd. Sometimes taking the middle of the counter is just the safest bet. Have you ever seen what happens at the edges of a dessert line at a buffet?
