Let Them Eat Cake


Many have pointed out that the PAC building at IVC looks bigger on the outside than it appears on the inside.

There's a discrepancy, some have said, similar to the ones Sherlock Holmes discovered in several of his acclaimed mysteries. A secret room – or in the PAC's case, a hidden floor.

Here's what we know so far: on the hidden upper floor of the PAC building there is a large refrigerated room. You can hear it hum as you enter the building. Listen for it.


In that room is stored an industrial size sheet cake approximately 20 feet by 30 feet in size, bought wholesale from CostCo and charged to the district's credit card.

Whenever there is some kind of celebratory event, say a birthday of note, or a retirement or, in last night's case, the attainment of tenure, a chunk is sawed off the cake, the appropriate slogan is painted on using the array of frosting tubes provided by CostCo, and the cake is then presented to the hungry hordes desperate for something sweet. Yum.


We hear that they got the cake for a good price.

It was, they say, quite a sweet deal.

Stayed tune for more updates about the other hidden rooms on the IVC campus.

There's a hidden room in B-300!

I THOUGHT there was something suspiciously similar about all the cakes!

Is this another example of fiscal conservatism?

Even if you refrgerate a cake, it doesn't keep that long does it?

A sheet cake, under the right conditions, can last 2- maybe 3 years.

I don't believe in the giant cake but I do think there is a hidden room.

There's also a vat of ice water where carrot sticks and celery sticks bob, only to be scooped up in nets and put on aluminum platters.

Maybe this is why Glenn didn't want us to watch the inaugural in the PAC. We would have discovered the giant hidden cake.

Everyone knows that today's cakes are vastly different than the "cake" Marie Antoinette told the peasants to go eat.
