Things never to say to an #archivist:
1. Isn't everything online by now?
2. Were you in "Who Do You Think You Are"?
3. Is anyone thinking about how to keep emails?
4. If you 'digitalise' everything you can throw all the paper away, right? 5. Where are your white gloves?

@Sally_Shearn @Jenny_Mitcham @ArchiveCake is the best cake

@WeeMalcolmCat @ArchiveCake exists. I have baked Tottenham cake from a 1930s recipe and bolder colleagues tried some 18/19C recipes. Archivists run on cake. #archivefact

@WeeMalcolmCat @ArchiveCake okay, #archivecake is a concept rather than an actual cake. That way, it is the cake of your dreams, of your current requirement - a cake of requirement, if you will.

The cakes have been declared fair game and we are so ready for @ktaines cakes this afternoon tea at #idcc19. Can’t wait to see what @archivecake you produce for Designing the Archive conference!!! The #glutenfree is so good. #archivecake

@ArchiveCake We haven't seen any cakes posted in a while! Surely the archives are not cakeless?! Ours certainly isn't - not with our staff room cake sale in full swing...

...And now seems like a good time to remind you of our vacancy for an #Archive and Collections Lead - closing date this Sunday. https://t.co/SFxiqSWI97
Your baking skills will not be tested at interview, but it would make you popular with future colleagues! @ArchiveCake

Persian love cake. It was the first thing I baked for my love and it gives me squishy feels every time.

#OTD 1877 Rev. WHA Walters, Vicar of Llansamlet, sent a short letter to Margaret Jones. There are also her related notes about making sweet, milky tea for 120 children and a 152lb cake - 'three quarters of a pound of cake' per child! ☕️🍰😃 #archivescake https://t.co/C5Sx9Z9s4z

In case you doubt our serious-ness, regarding cake as a fuel for archiving activity, please note there’s already an established handle for this @ArchiveCake https://t.co/7d0zoVcEH1

Our amazing #volunteers commemorating their achievements at our Archives Accreditation Celebration event today @archiveCake #archivesaccreditn BIG thank you to @HLFNorthWest @UkNatArchives

Such high marks for @ArchiveCake too. Congratulations everyone!

[Essex Record Office @essexarchive]

Very pleased that we are now an Accredited Archive Service! We have, of course, celebrated with some @ArchiveCake. Brownies may not be the most photogenic of cakes, but they are one of the most delicious @UKNatArcSector

[Melinda Haunton @melindahaunton]

@johnarchives @centralbank_ie @ARA_Chair Those look like seriously good @ArchiveCake
