Our company does a monthly birthday celebration in the office break room. Just like the cult classic "Office Space" (1999), employees are encouraged to gather in the break room and eat birthday cake to celebrate everyone's birthday that month. I remember thinking to myself the first time I got an email about the monthly birthday celebration, "Man, this is just like 'Office Space!'"
Nina: Now Milton, don't be greedy, let's pass it along and make sure everyone gets a piece.
Milton Waddams: Yeah, but last time I didn't receive a piece. And I was told...
Nina: Just pass.
[while the cake passes Milton mutters - eventually everybody but Milton gets a piece]
Milton Waddams: [muttering] I could set the building on fire.

Luckily, at our office, there is plenty of cake to go around, partly because some people are too busy to attend the "celebration" and partly because some people eat healthy. The cake for many of our celebrations comes from nearby Cornerstone Cookie Company.
The company was founded in 1997 by a husband and wife duo who have since grown Cornerstone to sell gourmet cookies, nuts, and coffee nationwide. They sell a lot of corporate gift baskets and also delicious cakes.
The cakes are available in the Atlanta area only. My favorites are the seasonal strawberry cake (available May through August) and the Italian cream cake. They are both decadent and delicious.
The strawberry cake consists of three layers of vanilla sponge cake with slices of fresh strawberries topped with light strawberry butter cream icing. The Italian cream cake uses a sweet, rich almond-flavored butter cream.
