Next week is our holiday party. Everyone is expected to bring something to eat. Normally I get bored and just bring chips. This time however, I want something different. Something along the lines of [this!](http://www.wackyzoo.com/p0443.shtml) This looks quite tasty frankly and I can’t wait to see how the others in the office respond to it. However, I need a bit of help. Since this is normally a halloween dish and not a holiday one I wanted to make it a bit more festive. For starters instead of just tootsie rolls I was going to use a mix of red and green laffy taffy to make red and green poop. I’d also like to see if I can find something like edible tinsel. But I can’t seem to find any. Maybe someone knows of a way to make it. The best I can come up with is silver cake icing. I like how the [cat is](http://home.tiac.net/~cri/1997/kitty.html) looking at the cake here. Wonder if my co-workers will eat any of it. Hey if’ve you’ve got any other gross ideas for the cake let me know. The grosser the better, more for me to eat! ---

Um, are you sure this will be okay for you to do? I had a person a few years back who said she was going to bring on in for an office lunch and I had to tell her absolutely not. She couldn’t understand why on earth such a dish would not be acceptable to bring for a corporate event. I guess it depends where you work but bringing in faux-feces cake would not be a wise career move at my office. YMMV. ---

This is a delicious and funny dessert, terrific for Halloween parties! Unfortunately, it’s not Halloween, and this is just remarkably tasteless. ---

Your call on how cow-orkers will react. The last office environment I was in would have had a hoot over it-we were a bunch of sick puppies, anyway. 😉 ---
