In my previous workplace if someone broke a build committing something wrong he/she had to bring cake for everyone next meeting. The cake is not really feasible I guess, but isn't it possible to notify the developer that broke the build?

Some of us do the notifying manually, but it's quite boring and bothersome. Automating it is a bit tricky, since some of our tests (as well as some of the buildslaves themselves) are a bit flaky and will produce intermittent failures. But I think it's indeed the good direction.
