RESIGNING from a job is never easy, but there’s one thing that might help soften the blow — cake.
Mark Herman, a newscast director at a television station in Arizona, decided to leave on a (sugar) high note when he resigned from his position at KOLD-TV, last week.
“I handed in the most delicious letter of resignation ever,” he wrote in his Reddit post, which included a photo of his creative efforts. His resignation letter was literally the icing on the white, strawberry-filled cake.
The cake, which was made by a bakery in Tucson, was a sweet attempt to deliver the bad news to Mr Herman’s boss and fellow employees.
“I knew they’d be disappointed in my departure,” Mr Herman told blogger Jim Romenesko. “So I decided that I should resign via cake — not only because nobody can be mad or sad at a cake, but also because I’m a bit of a joker and a cake of resignation is pretty damn hilarious.”

The letter read:
Dear Michelle,
Please accept this cake as formal (and delicious) notice of my resignation from the position of newscast director News 13. My last day of employment will be Friday, May 22.
I will miss KOLD and all the incredible people I’ve been fortunate enough to work with over the last 4 years. I cannot think you enough for all the opportunities and experiences you have given to me during my time here.
I appreciate your understanding and I wish you all the very best. If there’s anything I can do to help with the transition during my last few weeks here, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Sincerely,
Mark Herman
Mr Herman’s efforts did not go unappreciated. When his boss saw the cake she laughed and said “No way! You crack me up!”, before taking the cake to a meeting where the announcement was made to the rest of the staff.
“The cake definitely made the bad news a little bit more palatable,” said Mr Herman.
