Making a Sponge Cake and Other April Fools' Day Pranks

It's always nice when your hard work is recognized. That's why we were tickled to learn about Dave Bush, who took one of our office prank suggestions to heart and made a cake out of sponges for his co-workers.

The lovely, albeit inedible, cake features three layers and a thick covering of tasty frosting. Dave has make a work of art, and we salute it.
