Someone cut the front off my cake the night before the order was due.

    That cake looks heavenly! I’m sorry that happened.

    Oooh no, no, no, NO! That is one of the biggest “fuck you” you can do to a person. I would be out for blood. I am so sorry that happened to you.

    It looks fucking delicious, though. Goddamn!

    somebody needs to be fired for that, that’s fucked up

  5. dogwalker360

    Used to work in a place where my pastries were consistently tampered with/eaten. I know how you feel. Seeing this picture makes me wanna puke it’s so unfortunate. Really sorry this happened to you.

  6. big_duo3674

    Yeah, that’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.

  7. bitchesrus25

    You need cameras in your kitchen/fridge area.

  8. Tank-Pilot74

    As a pastry chef, I would need a head on a pike for retribution. Shit *MY* blood is boiling… I can’t imagine yours..!

  9. RussiaIsBestGreen

    r/thefrontfelloff would appreciate this.

  10. Apprehensive-Dog6997

    I’d be in there with a goddam CSI team. The offender must pay.

  11. Specialist-Eye-6964

    My bad my table needed 8 cakes for a birthday it was the only thing I could. Find 🤷🏻‍♂️😂🙄

  12. I don’t mean to make light of your situation, but this is the premise for many children’s songs, that are actually kind of fun…

    I’m still sorry for what you’re going through❤️

  13. OP, I think we’re all going to need an update on this when there is more to tell.

  14. paintboxsoapworks

    Oh FUCKING HELL NO. I would be holding the entire kitchen hostage like a shrieking harpy until I found out who did it, or specifically a) who started it by cutting the cake, & b) who else finished it by eating it, bc that looks like a shared endeavor.

  15. sniksniksnek

    I would make my next cake out of pieces of whoever did this.

  16. 510Goodhands

    Find out which staff member had a family birthday celebration. 😠

    OP, could you get away with squaring up the end and re-frosting it? Discount for smaller serving size.

  17. InvisiblePinkUnic0rn

    Condolences, what kind of cake was that?

  18. This is how people end up locked in a freezer for an extended period of time. Just remember to practice the line we are working to get you out and we are calling around to find someone who can help as well.

    Alternate post title: Someone’s gonna die.

  20. zappalot000

    Wow I’m fuming just seeing this man. I hope it’s a prank and the pther bit is hidden somewhere. Other than that it’s an on the spot firing. Really sorry for you Cheffe x

  21. -myeyeshaveseenyou-

    I’m so mad for you. As a pastry chef I’ve seen people do fucked up things to disrespect my food but this is definitely up there. Christ that just awful

  22. EquivalentProof4876

    Someone’s loosing a hand or is going to die! NEVER! Piss off the pastry staff! Poor fool, didn’t know who they were messing with!

  23. Fun_Can_4498

    We need an update as to the culprit and what punishments were handed down.

  24. ButterscotchSmall506

    My staff eats my pastries all of the time. When I complain about it, they do it more 🙃

    UPDATE:

    Sorry about the lack of replies, I was under a crunch getting the cake repaired. It was meant for a birthday celebration for the GM of our hotel, so I definitely wasn’t happy to come in to see it trashed. I didn’t even notice it until I went in to do touchups on the powder coating before I boxed it.

    The Head Chef went on a head hunt and came back with a name. It turns out one of our PM Sous’ went through some mental gymnastics and decided that the cake must’ve been dead, so they took a massive chunk off and went home with it. Their excuse basically boiled down to “it had a piece missing so I figured it was fair game.” They offered no clues on who cut a piece before them though…

    I got to stand in the corner during the meeting and look angry, which is probably all the satisfaction I’ll get to have on the matter. Chef gave me a pat on the back and a sorrowful look at least.

    I had under 3 hours to repair the cake, and no prepped/leftover buttercream or frosting of any kind. Lesson learned there I suppose. I’ll see if I can get links to before/after/after-after and edit them in.

    Well, time for murder I guess. But also that looks delicious.

  27. This is terrible, now cut their front off to make it even.

    Side story, we once had a culinary intern who needed to grab something that we didn’t use that often from the top shelf in one of the coolers. The pastry assistant had placed an 8″ cake up there that just had the crumb coat on it, as she was going to frost it later and thought it would be “out of the way” up there. The intern climbed the step stool and I thought he was going to slide the cake out of the way, but instead he grabs it in the center with both hands on each side, just like you would pick up a big can of mustard or something. His hands press into the sides of the cake and the bottom half breaks off and hes just holding the top half of the cake, I said “OMG Kwang-ho! (his name) what the fuck did you do?!?!?” he screamed and said he thought it was a wheel of cheese. As you can guess, the pastry department was not pleased.
