The rules are simple, you can have as much cake as you want, for free. But should you appreciate the cake, and want to leave a tip in the cake club box, and if enough people tip enough money, then there'll be another cake. So far this has worked really well, I get enough anonymous tips to cover the cost of another cake, and a few pounds left over. And of course I'm being funded to bake to my heart's content.
I don't know how long this will all last, surely at some point they will all get sick and tired of 'that dratted cake', but in the meantime I've decided to create a database of desserts tried & tested, or on my 'must bake' list. Lets get some bureaucracy going here! And here are my top 3, most used, dessert cookbooks, though I also use recipes from some other great general cookbooks, including 'At My French Table', 'the vegetarian student cookbook', and the indispensable 'The Cook's Scrapbook'.

Yummy! What's your all-time favourite cake? Would you mind sharing the recipe? I love baking as well.
Ohh, that's a tough one! I most frequently bake simple cakes with whatever I have in the cupboards, to fulfil the cravings. But if I could have a choice of any cake, it would probably be a coconut and cherry cake. I'll do a post with the recipe soonish!
mmm...this sounds delicious! I am sad I am not one of your co-workers. But being funded to bake! what nice perk at work!
coconut cherry cake sounds delightful. I would love a recipe too!
I love baking when I have time, but HAVE to stop eating cake temporarily because I can only get into my biggest pair of jeans. I used to make my dad a different chocolate cake from a chocolate book every year when he was alive. What a great idea Cake Club is - I can't believe anybody will get tired of home-made cake! xx
Mmmmmm, now I'm going to be craving cake all day. That's awesome that your baking is funded, though!
I think that's a really great idea; how clever to turn it into an institution!
