    I wish I was only dealing with cake today! Here is what I have at work today:

    Beer and pretzel cheese bites
    Hot & Spicy Burger Buns
    Buffalo Style Chicken Breast Filets
    Smoky Ghost Pepper Cheese
    Bourbon Bacon Topping
    Carmelized Balsamic Onion Jam
    Turkey Burgers (white and dark lol)
    Waffle Fries w/ Masa Batter
    Sweet Potato Waffle Fries
    Breaded Cod
    Mahi Mahi
    Hatch Chile Chicken Street Tacos
    Queso Street Tacos
    Assorted Greek Yogurt Cheesecakes
    Black Cherry and Ricotta Cheesecake
    Salted Caramel Ice Cream w/ Sea Salt

    And about 28 other items that we have to sample for a spring product launch.

    It's going to be a deliciously amazing day :drinker:
    Where do you work? And are they hiring?
    Man, Why didn't my guidance counselor inform me of this professional possibility?! LOL!

    I turned down cake from the breakroom twice, but someone eventually brought a piece to my desk. It is a little harder to resist when you can smell the frosting, & I figured I had fought the universe long enough.

    We start meetings with safety items. Last week someone mentioned eating healilthy. This week, last weeks notes are up and everyone is passing around cakes and biscuits. Later, after another meeting Danishes that hadn't been touched got handed around and tomorrow is a birthda y so there will be cake and pizza!

    We have monthly cake for all the birthdays that fall in the month. I generally avoid them. Last month, since it was my birthday, they brought the cake to me. I had to turn down 3 pieces that people were kind enough to deliver to my door.

    I suggested to the person who orders the cakes to get fruit salad instead or as well. We'll see if it happens.

    It's always donuts and assorted pastries from a mom n pop bakery. They are amazing. I ate one today, and I feel awful because of it. I feel like eating is a reflex for me. I just can't stop shoveling food into my mouth. I do my best to surround myself with veggies/eggs/nuts and seeds, but at least once a week... OFFICE DONUTS SWOOP IN FOR THE KILL. They get me about 40% of the time.

    I've got a homemade blackberry pie tempting me. It was made for me by one of the residents at work so I had to accept it. I tried to leave it at work to share but she made one for the rest of the nurses and one for me. Now it sits taunting me from my kitchen counter... :devil:

    Nicely done. Sweets are really hard for me to resist.

    Good job resisting!! My work environment is also the most tempting when it comes to food.

    When my office has cakes and cupcakes and stuff, I tell myself (even if it isn't true) that they're lemon flavored. I hate lemon flavored baked goods. I am never tempted to eat them because they always taste horrible to me.
