A British Border Agency worker stunned his bosses with a bizarre resignation letter iced onto a cake.
Chris Holmes, 31, who worked at Stansted Airport in the UK, tweeted a picture of the note to resign from his job and pursue his dream to run a bakery business.
Holmes said: “I handed in the cake in person to the duty manager. I think he was pleasantly surprised. It was a passion cake: a carrot cake made with coconut, pecans, sultanas and orange buttercream. The lettering was a bit tricky because there were so many words.”
He wrote: “Having recently become a father I now realise how precious life is and how important it is to spend my time doing something that makes me and other people happy.
“For that reason I hereby give notice of my resignation, in order that I may devote my time and energy to my family, and to my cake business which has grown steadily over the past few years.”
The resignation seemed the natural choice for a cake maker with a playful sense of humour.
“I thought it was a good-natured resignation and hopefully left a nice taste in their mouths. I’d been planning it for six months but I wasn’t sure when I would be leaving,” he said. “I’d been working with the UK Border Agency for around seven years and set up the cake business in July 2010.
“I decided that my passion lies with food and wanted to spend more time at home with my son.” – Daily Mail
