Why did the cake go to school

To get a little ‘butter’ education! Jokes aside, I’ve found that adding a twist of humor to my pastry classes really lightens the mood. Makes me wonder how many of you incorporate a little fun into your baking routines. Anyone have a favorite baking joke to share?

Love that joke! A sprinkle of humor really does make baking more enjoyable… Got any other fun stories from your classes? :shortcake:.

I totally agree that humor can transform a baking class! I often throw in a quick joke about what the pastries said during their bake-off — ‘I donut know how they won!’ It really lightens the atmosphere. @tgreenwood58, do you have any favorite student stories that made you laugh while teaching?
