If you work in an office, whatever the vibe, you’ll know that incredible feeling of walking into the office and smelling something delicious, seeing a tray of freshly baked delights in the kitchen ready for everyone to share. The way everyone's eyes light up when someone walks down the office with a tray of sweet treats is, let’s face it, unbeatable.
We know that feeling all too well here at The Powder Patisserie, our office always smells like delicious freshly baked cakes and it makes us all love work even more. We firmly believe everyone deserves to enjoy that beautiful smell while they work, so we’ve compiled a list of our top five reasons to have cake in the office!
Sharing cake with co-workers boosts staff mental health Studies found that social eating, including cake, boosts mental health, leading to better productivity in the workplace. Can a sweet pick-me-up in between meetings really be beaten?
Food has a direct influence on cognitive performance Meaning focus is improved when the body is fuelled properly. A focused workplace leads to less mistakes and better quality of work. We all know a bad day can be turned around with just the first bite of a delicious freshly baked cake.
Eating together is a great facilitator of bonding According to research, colleagues who ate together had increased cooperation, performance and trust. When asked, 81% of people said they believed office cake brings people together. It really gives validity to the age-old idea of ‘breaking bread’ with companions.
It shows employees they are valued by the company If a regular afternoon sweet treat is organised by the company to reward hard work and continued support and loyalty, employees feel like an investment is being made into their happiness and wellbeing. Cakes are also perfect to brighten up a gloomy day, something we see far too much of living in London!
Cake is the perfect way to celebrate personal, team and company milestones If an office birthday or a work anniversary comes around, it deserves to be celebrated!
