Another Coworker's Birthday, Another Birthday Cake.

As mentioned in a previous post, at my office every time a coworker has a birthday, the office gets them a cake.

Meal: snack (Fri 9/10)

From: a Chinese bakery

Cost: N/A

Location: Chinatown

Chinese Style Fruit Filled Birthday Cake

The cake was basically a regular cake with white frosting and absolutely TONS of fresh fruit. Look at the picture of the cake, and imagine that 1/3 of the inside is filled with fruit, because that is what it was.

Taste: all that fresh fruit made this cake light and delicious.
Conclusion: way better than the last birthday cake we had in the office.

Saturday Morning Doughnuts

I went to Stop & Shop with my girlfriend this morning to stock up on some things. After walking by the bakery we decided to get some doughnuts.

Box of Doughnuts

Cake Doughnut

Meal: breakfast/snack (Sat 9/4)

From: Stop & Shop

Cost: $0.59/each (plus tax)

Location: Queens

Cake Doughnut

It definitely was not as good as the cake dough doughnuts from Doughnut Plant I had on Saturday. This one tasted a little like the cakes and doughnuts that Entenmann's makes.

Almond Covered Frosted Doughnut

The almonds and frosting made this doughnut. The doughnut itself was nothing special, but the frosting and almonds were just great.

Taste: sweet and tasty, for your first meal of the day you cannot go wrong with this type of food.

Conclusion: now I have a sugar rush that hopefully will last me until lunch time.

Drink: a glass of ice water... again I needed milk but did not have any one hand...

Coworker's Birthday Cake (Wednesday)

Chocolate Cake with Black Cherry Filling

Meal: snack (Wed 9/1)

From: some deli around the corner from my office

Cost: N/A

Location: Lower Manhattan (near my office)

At my office if it is someone's birthday, we have cake. The past few coworker's birthdays we have had generic yellow cake with fruit from a Chinese bakery. I was happy to see something different. The chocolate cake part was pretty good, as was the top white frosting (under all the chocolate shavings). The side frosting was kind of hard and tasted like solid blocks of sugar. The black cherry filling had the consistency of jelly and was overly sweet. However, if you mixed it all together it was a decent enough cake.

Taste: decent enough.

Conclusion: I needed the sugar rush to make it to the end of the work day.

Drink: nothing, although I wish I had some milk.
