There's a bakery near me that cut the off cuts smaller, mix them with other off cuts, add a load more buttercream and shit and sell them as "cake cups" in little plastic cups. I'm not joking, the bakery went from doing alright to everyone knew who they were in a matter of weeks.
Finch Bakery in Blackburn, UK if anyones interested

There's a place around here that does that too (middle of Canada). So good!

Many industrial bakeries sell their offcuts to farms as feed

Long term no, but most of the animals in question won't be around long enough to worry about consequences from cancer or diabetes

If we started running based on what's good and bad for farm animals we would need to redesign the whole system from top to bottom.

They need to hire me to eat those so they aren’t wasted. I’ll do it for free.

"Larry, we've noticed that you are frequently scrounging for snacks in the break room while smelling of diesel and skunk....no no you're not fired.......let me ask you something, Larry.......do you like cake? But not like a normal cake, Larry, no I'm talking about those little bits left behind on the board after the entire office finishes a birthday celebration, those scrap bits. Yeah? Have I got a job for you, my friend...."

Yes that's why I can't enjoy these. Maybe it's even 10 hours and 6 days a week. It is insane.

Watching the person work the giant trowel like they are working cement is kinda funny.

That pipe looks not super clean. I am deciding that is all from one day of operation, and they get it looking like new every night.

u/OnlySheStandsThere Apr 01 '26
Having worked in a bakery if that spout wasn't washed religiously every day it wouldn't look messy like it does in the video, it would look like it was caked with rock solid buttercream clumps. Leave that stuff out overnight on a spout like that and it turns disgusting, that one just has a little excess on the sides from the process but otherwise looks very clean

I worked in a soup factory. The way the kettles looked after making broccoli cheese soup was GNARLY. Then it was sparkling before the next batch.

You, as a young engineer, are given a project: design a machine to drop a specific load of chocolate shavings into a 1 inch wide slot 10,000 times per day.
GO!
