🎂 The Great Gluten-Free Birthday Bake-Off: Who's the Real A-hole? 🤔
Well, well, well... it seems our office baker has found herself in a sticky situation! 😅 She's always been the go-to gal for whipping up delectable treats 🍰, but now she's facing a gluten-free request that's left her feeling a bit... well, deflated. 🎈 With cost concerns, cross-contamination worries, and a lack of gluten-free know-how 🤷♀️, our baker is standing her ground. But the birthday girl? She's not having it! 😡 Accusations are flying, and the office drama is heating up hotter than a 450°F oven! 🔥 So, dear readers, what do YOU think? 🤔 Is our baker being a bit of a half-baked a-hole 🍑, or is she just trying to keep her baking budget from going stale? 💸 Let's see what the internet has to say about this flour-filled fiasco! 🍞📱
