Easy Bake Says Goodbye

Fri, 03 Aug 2007 00:00:00 MDT

Stargate Worlds is more than a game title -- it is a community of people. For a great while, every other Friday, a proud interoffice tradition took place at the desks of assistants D'Ann Jordan and Rebecca Orozco. These amateur chefs would get together and bake for anyone close enough to smell the sweet aromas. Recently, as more personnel were added and more desk space had to be made for developers, this welcome tradition had to be discontinued.

This is the story of the last Easy Bake.
