Free Cake At Work

For me it would depend greatly on the cake and who made it, etc. A lot of people at my office bring in cake and it's usually just some grocery store cake and I can easily pass on that. If someone brings in a moist, homemade cake that rocks, I'm having a small slice..but in my experience, an office cake that is actually good is a rare thing.0

Ok, even though there are never any treats in my office, thanks to this thread, i now have a cake craving! Thank god i dont drink wine, else i would have had a craving for that too by now..Sabotage, you people :devil:0

and i can back that up with science.
No, you said death!0 -
Give me strength!
Despite the sugar craving nearly dragging me out of my chair, I will eat my carrots and pout in my cubicle.
Because nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.
Except maybe chocolate cake.
In my office too, today!
I have a serious addiction to cake, so I have to choose my moments wisely or else it will start the cravings back up again.
If it's just a run of the mill, regular but yummy sheet cake, skip it and have some gum instead. But if it's something unique, have a piece and keep it within a manageable calorie range for the day or counter it with some cardio.0 -

Eat it, log it, use the extra sugar boost to go for a nice long walk.0

I don't want cake ever again.
Thanks!0 -
I would have eaten the cake... so good or bad for you, depending on how you view it. Most of the time, I just fit it in my calories.
This would be my answer, but he said it first.0 -

IT'S NOT FREE. REPEAT AFTER ME: IT'S NOT FREE.0

There will always be cake and other fattening foods, so if you choose not to indulge every time there's an opportunity - good for you.0
-
you know that the icing is going to be disgusting and WAY to sweet for your liking
No such thing as too sweet for MY liking. Just sayin'....
That really lardy sugary icing is the best!!! Vanilla preferably!
^^^^This!
CAKE, CAKE, CAKE!0 -
Office surprise treats are worth fitting in if they are actually something special (like for me, the cannoli that one person brings on occasion), but there are tons of mediocre offerings, not worth eating in lieu of some better dessert I'd actually bother fitting in. One reason I've mostly given up office treats is that they are rarely worth sacrificing anything else for, but back in the day I'd eat them (often when not even hungry, but an excuse to take a break and have a treat always seems nice) just because they showed up. And they showed up pretty often. I'm much happier saving the calories for something really special and delicious, than just fitting in something because it's there.0

once you stop eating sugar, you wont miss it.
and carrots have a lot of sugar. sorry0 -
I haven't had office cake, bagel, or donuts in over a year. I just tell everyone I choose not to partake at the company "trough", but everyone should feel free to help themselves.
well, don't you sound delightful... :huh:0 -
Wine > store-bought cake. Always, unless it's like Boone's Farm or something. Even Two-Buck Chuck beats generic grocery store sheet cake.0

Wine is definitely > carrots!once you stop eating sugar, you wont miss it.
and carrots have a lot of sugar. sorry0 -
If it makes you feel any better, I am a cake decorator at a bakery.. lol talk about hard..0

Average slice of cake = 60 g of sugar
Medium carrot = 3 g sugar0 -
I have nothing of importance to add here, only the topic made me think of this one time at work where one of my co-workers announced "free cake" located in the breakroom. I spent a short while drooling and thinking of what kind of delicious highly caloric monstrosity was in store for me, only to find much to my disappointment that this "cake" was actually a watermelon shaped like a cake and covered in icing and almond shavings.
I had a big sad, it was a very mean thing to do.
Oh and cake trumps skinny fo sho yo. I will jog an extra 10 min for cake.0 -

That's diabolical! They probably got the idea from Pinterest. Friggin Pinterest....0 -
I'll spend about 200 calories on a hunk of cake. Depending on what kind it is. If you cut it small enough you at least get a taste

I didn't eat the cake today because I don't want to have to work that chit off later.0

Today I ate free cake at work. I probably over did it really because they gave me smallish pieces of two different cakes which ended up being a lot more cake than anticipated. I ate it all. I added a run to my workout today and will add another tomorrow to even it out. Ain't nobody keeping me from my cake (unless it has carrots in it, in which case - ew)!0

Just think of me. I'm a cake decorator.
Every day at work I'm surrounded by cake. Icing. donuts. breads of all sorts. cupcakes. muffins. cookies bakes fresh out of the oven... and I don't eat them. 0 -
Not a big dessert person, so that really helps. But if it's something yummy, I'll take a slice the size I would give to a 3 year old.0

My desk is right outside the restrooms and we have those super loud powerful Dyson hand dryers. So yeah, I KNOW who washes their hands.
Annnnd now I'm forced to Purell everything I touch at work. Cake tastes less appealing covered in Purell.0
