The award is for “Cake baked by a work colleague” (if only I was on television my cakes would be winning this award!) and goes to the birthday cake that Neil, David Brent’s arch nemesis, has made for a lady in the office.
Here is the cake being served. Neil has made a fine job of his icing and decorating:
David Brent takes a piece and tries it. His face suggests that he’s prejudged it somewhat (bonus points if you spotted Monkey in the background):
He finds it a bit sweet, although everyone else seems to love it. According to one of the office workers Neil’s lemon drizzle cake is even better !

I never quite got The Office.
Ricky Gervais plays him so swarmy!I always have the fear of bringing something to the office and someone wrinkiling their nose. One time this ladt said my rum buns tasted like swamp water. No one else thought so and gobbled them up.
I loved this scene too. Hilarious!!
LOL - thanks Crusader. I didn't remember this, but it is soooo David Brent to not allow any credit to Neil. (BTW - where can I get me a cake-baking bloke??)
