An aspiring chartered accountant received a humorous pre-exam gift from a friend: a cake decorated with a playful message and a Microsoft Excel logo. The cake, featuring the words “Freak in the Sheets” written in green icing, quickly became a hit on social media, garnering over 7,000 likes and numerous comments on X (formerly Twitter).
The white cake, adorned with the familiar Excel logo, was shared by the CA aspirant on X, accompanied by the caption, “CA exam tomorrow and look what my friend brings me.” The clever pun, playing on the dual meaning of “sheets,” resonated with many and provided a lighthearted boost before the big day.

The post quickly captured the attention of thousands, with users praising the thoughtful and amusing gesture. Comments ranged from admiration for the friend’s creativity to requests for similar support in their own future endeavors. One user remarked, “A true friend indeed,” while another mused about needing such friends in their own lives.
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) began its CA Intermediate exams on September 12. With rigorous exams that include Foundation, Intermediate, and Final levels, the cake’s Excel theme is particularly relevant, as Chartered Accountants frequently use the software for financial analysis and data management. The Group 2 Intermediate exams are scheduled for September 19, 21, and 23.
