Bake sale at work yesterday for Macmillan. We were all asked to make something at home and bring it it. No mention of any ingredients which were banned. This is a workplace which is exclusively adult - no children around.
I baked a coffee and walnut cake. The walnuts were not hidden in the cake (in fact there were no nuts in the cake at all) but I had used half walnuts on the icing as decoration. They were very visible. We had also been given little cards to write what the cake was, and who had made it, so obviously I wrote "coffee and walnut cake".
Went down to the bake sale at lunch to discover someone had scrawled in great big red letters CONTAINS NUTS.
AIBU to think that:
a) the name alone is a bit of a giveaway
b) the nuts were clearly visible and if you're a nut allergic adult then you'd probably be capable of identifying a walnut??

AIBU?
AIBU over nutty labelling of cakes?
