With food allergies and portion control and having all the right utensils on hand to feed a classroom may make it more of a burden. Office Depot has the solution. Why not bring a Supply Cake instead?
With just a few simple steps, you can treat your teacher to a cake that will last for weeks and weeks—because it’s made of much-needed school supplies, such as wipes, glue, crayons, pens and more. This gift is practical, adorable and will be appreciated!
