The Triscuit Cake

Back story: Mick was leaving our little group and heading back out to the newsroom. We wanted to do something fun for him. Typically, we would bake a cake, but Mick doesn't like cake. He's a pie man. But how do you decorate a pie? He had recently fallen into the habit of snacking on Triscuits and Easy Cheese in the afternoons, so we decided to make him a cake out of that.

The next question was what to write on it. To celebrate the completion of the CCI 5.5.3 rollout, we had ordered cake for the newsroom. It said, "We survived CCI!" An hour before the cake was to be served, CCI crashed. We altered the cake to read "We almost survived CCI!" and served cake early since the newsroom couldn't work anyway.

And thus, the "Mick survived CCI" Triscuit and Easy Cheese cake was born.

If I should ever make another cake like this, I would do two things:
1. I'd use more varieties of Easy Cheese since they vary in color. That would allow me a little more detail in the decorating.
2. I'd make a layer cake - layer of Triscuits, layer of pepperoni, another layer of Triscuits, etc.
