I have officially seen it all: Vagina cakes for baby showers

[Kelvin Mace]

Seriously? We have women all over the world who can barely find enough food for themselves, never mind the baby they are delivering in squalor, and people in this country are making vagina cakes?

Somebody PLEASE tell me this is a hoax.

[Aristus]

1. ...

Really?...

[DesertFlower]

2. well said. nt

[yuiyoshida]

45. This is very

disturbing.

[texanwitch]

3. There is a website for cakes like this.

Who would want to eat this cake.

[Kelvin Mace]

4. Good question

I would like a list of names so I can post them by my door and make sure no of these people ever enter my house.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. It's called Cake Wrecks.

And it's one of the funniest things on the Internets. http://www.cakewrecks.com/

[texanwitch]

18. Thank you.

I couldn't remember the name.

This cake would fit right in.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

24. Some of those Halloween cakes are pretty awesome!

?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1382225285309

[Kelvin Mace]

42. Now that is cool

and far LESS nightmare inducing.

[1000words]

5. It's a far more intriguing artistic statement than it is dessert.

Let them eat cake.

[Renew Deal]

6. Yes, but have you tried the placenta cupcakes?

[WCLinolVir]

9. Placenta pizza! LOL.

[QC]

47. Just like Mom used to make! n/t

[Renew Deal]

51. Ohhhhh

[Marrah_G]

88. ~spank~

[polly7]

91. Love it, lol!

[Lil Missy]

7. oh my. *groan*

tacky

[WCLinolVir]

8. How about those penis cakes?

I think it's funny. It may not be in good taste, but it is a baby shower, and you don't have to eat it if you don't want to. Or look at it. Or ....

[DJ13]

13. Those tend to be a lot smaller in person than they look in the photo

[WCLinolVir]

20. LOL-this cake does not represent actual size.

[Kelvin Mace]

41. Can't say I am a big fan

of phallic cakes either.

As I said elsewhere, if I were a first time mom, that would be VERY unsettling.

[gopiscrap]

10. OMG

[closeupready]

61. +1.

:barf:

[notadmblnd]

12. And I thought my kitty litter cake was tacky

No, I could not eat that.

[Lex]

21. I made one of those with my nephew

when he was 11 or 12. He loved making it and taking pictures of it, yes, and even eating it.

[MADem]

14. And to think I once thought the dancing brassiere commercial on television was "TMI".....nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. And having delivered a few kids

in squalor mind you. This is not accurate, one bit.

(Yes as a medic in the Mexican Red Cross I helped deliver a few babies, or as I like to call it, assisted mom in her pushing the baby out. When there are no complications we are there as the ra ra team. Now we had complications a couple of times, and those WERE SCARY MOMENTS for all concerned)

[snooper2]

59. No Way!

That cake isn't accurate in what it looks like?


Actually, you are right, they need to add some vernix by using opaque-ish frosting all over the head

[Brickbat]

62. "This is not accurate, one bit."

It's a CAKE.

[redqueen]

85. lol

WHY IS THIS JOKE CAKE NOT MEDICALLY ACCURATE I DEMAND A REFUND

[bettyellen]

99. HA HA HA

[Brickbat]

106. Bwaahahahaha!

[Demo_Chris]

16. Okay, that's absolutely horrifying. WTF nt

[bigwillq]

17. BWAH! I just laughed out loud.

I would never want that as my cake, but folks are free to pay for what they want.
But, yea, that is just awful.

[Kelvin Mace]

43. I don't question people's right to make/buy such a cake

I question the taste, judgment and appropriateness.

[bigwillq]

49. I think it's ugly but

other than that, fine with it. .

[Blue Owl]

19. GAH!

Could do w/out the doll head -- creepy!

[texanwitch]

23. There is 9 more to look at on the link.

O well.

I guess someone meant well.

[kestrel91316]

22. If that's what being a mother involves, I'm glad I never took the plunge.

That cake is terrifying. I could NEVER eat it. I don't care how much chocolate is in it.

[Niceguy1]

25. yuck

[Warpy]

26. Ugh. I'll pass, thanks

The baby cakes were creepy enough.

I'm sure there are feminists who are far purer than I am who find this sort of thing a celebration of womanhood.

Thanks anyway, but I prefer the ones from a gentler era, when there were frosting booties on top or something equally cutesy.

I suppose there will be afterbirth cakes next. And yes, I've already seen one.

[ismnotwasm]

28. Not this feminist

That's bloody disgusting.

[Warpy]

29. I posted a Cthulu pie over at another site

and one of the crazy people over there went and made one.

I think I'll just leave this one here and hope nobody else picks it up.

[3catwoman3]

27. Technically...

...it would be a perineum cake.

Either way, that is beyond crass. (I was going to say beyond poor taste, but...)

[EOTE]

93. No, it taint.

If that's a woman's perineum, she's in very bad shape.

[ffr]

30. Google has some of these and many more.

Never mind. The link won't post nicely.

Google the subject title and view the linked Google images.

[cliffordu]

31. I WANT THE EYEBALLS!!!!!

[Skittles]

32. I refuse to attend baby showers

Last edited Tue Oct 22, 2013, 04:40 PM - Edit history (1)

I just cannot stand to be around that mindset - it does not compute

[PasadenaTrudy]

57. +1

[Skittles]

97. you know it, PasadenaTrudy

I cannot even PRETEND to be happy while participating in such insipid crap

[fitman]

80. My wife refuses to go to them

hate splaying all those little games mostly..she mails a gift..and is happier that way

[Skittles]

96. your wife is my kind of gal, fitman

yes INDEED

[Lancero]

33. Whats with the...

Severed baby head?

Seriously. Thats what it looks like.

[LittleBlue]

34. Not sure which is more disturbing

the vagina or the baby head.

8/10 on the ewwww scale

[Warren DeMontague]

35. You lost me with the thing about "women all over the world.." not that it's not true, but extraneous

and irrelevant.

I mean, by that logic, ANY cake for a baby shower would be a problem, because there are women and babies in squalor. Not just a vagina cake.

I think the objections to this are probably aesthetic, not to mention the serious medical and biological inaccuracy.

But I have to believe someone is putting someone on. Or else they've got a wicked sense of humor.

[Kelvin Mace]

48. Look at the link

they have nine more cakes in a similar vein, so not a joke.

A celebration of a coming birth with friends and a cake? Not really a problem, nor terribly expensive. But to expend 3-5 times the financial resources on that monstrosity...

Sorry, just strikes me as inappropriate conspicuous consumption.

[Niceguy1]

118. the cake boss

Makes some really cool babyshower cakes....love the one he made for his wife

[Cali_Democrat]

36. Cool!

[cui bono]

37. omg... that is so gross.

Sending it to all my gfs! lol.

[JP0]

38. and where is the beauty in that?

there's blood , there's even shaved hair represented.. yuck!!

[gopiscrap]

55. welcome to DU

[NBachers]

39. But what if it's twins?

[Kelvin Mace]

40. I am guessing that for first time moms

that cake would give them nightmares.

[HappyMe]

44. Oh no.

That's just nasty.

I don't particularly like baby showers as it is, that cake would make me head for the exit pdq.

[polly7]

46. LOL!

Is that strawberries I see there? I bet the cake is good ...

[Brickbat]

50. Birth cakes is what did it for you?

I think they're hilarious.

[tridim]

52. How does one tastefully cut a vagina cake?

Vaginas, good. Vagina cakes with bloody berry decorations, not so good.

[Sheldon Cooper]

68. Episiotomy!

[Kelvin Mace]

70. And what about our mixed messages here?

I though we were against "female genital mutilation".

Am I just weird for thinking that symbolically cutting up a woman's genitals AND her new born child is just disturbing?

[PeteSelman]

53. Lighten up Francis.

What difference does it make what shape the cake is in? You might as well be saying how dare anyone eat cake at all, considering all the starving people in the world.

Ridiculous outrage over absolutely nothing.

[Kelvin Mace]

71. As I point out in another post

We put this cake out, then we take a knife and symbolically cut up a woman's vagina AND her child.

Oooohh, can I have a slice of labia and a quarter of the baby's skull?

Strikes me as a bit inappropriate.

[PeteSelman]

86. I still think you're taking it waaaay too seriously.

Do you think of SpongeBob cake is traumatic for children because you're cutting up SpongeBob? Or what about picture cakes with people on them? Are you symbolically murdering them?

C'mon. It's a novelty cake.

[Kelvin Mace]

104. Spongebob isn't a real person

As to cakes with people on them, to be honest, I wouldn't do it.

As satire this is funny. As an actual baby shower food, it is tacky, and rather revolting.

But that is just me.

[pipi_k]

54. Way too optimistic

IMO.

Anybody ever actually SEEN a baby being born?

Of course!

There is no way on earth a full term baby's head is that much smaller than the "door" he's passing through.

If that cake is disturbing, the reality would be way more disturbing if it were portrayed correctly.

That being said, though...

I love cake. I'd probably ask for a piece with the most frosting on it.



PS..and on closer examination, it looks like the baby's head is emerging from the labia minora, not the actual vaginal opening below it.

[nadinbrzezinski]

69. As I said above, not quite accurate.

And most people have not seen other kids born.

[HappyMe]

72. Of course it's not accurate.

It's a damn CAKE!

[pipi_k]

94. I think someone

wouldn't necessarily have to see a baby being born to figure it out, especially if they're old enough to have made a baby in the first place.

There is just no opening on the human body large enough to permit full term baby Whack-a-mole.

[nadinbrzezinski]

100. Exactly

Creative license some might argue

[Dr. Strange]

56. CALM DOWN!

Come on, breathe. Short breaths. You can do it. Keep breathing.
Now PUSH!

[snooper2]

58. how come I got an image of Total Recall in my head from that

[cyberswede]

65. You just broke my irony meter.

[L0oniX]

63. Alerting!

[Kelvin Mace]

74. Mmm... why?

[L0oniX]

78. Are we sarcasm challenged?

[Kelvin Mace]

105. No, but the post is ambiguous

And I have had a much less "graphic" post challenged.

I shall re-calibrate my sarcasm meter for you.

(Meant as humorous, not sarcastic)

[TwilightGardener]

64. Sick--but pretty fucking funny.

[Kelvin Mace]

73. Funny as a concept,

sick if you actually do it, in my opinion.

[Sheldon Cooper]

66. Horrible.

Some people are just disgusting.

[Initech]

67. What. the. fuck. Just when you think you've seen everything.

[Whisp]

75. woah! That is Hilarious...

I think...

[Kelvin Mace]

76. I think it would have been hilarious on

a satirical show, say "SNL" or "Arrested Development", but as an actual cake that many people are making, not so much.

[Orrex]

77. I'll be honest and say that it simply doesn't seem like a big deal to me

Not my cup of tea, but I'm not going to blow a gasket about it, either.

[DinahMoeHum]

79. Just begs for this song. . .

"Pregnant Women Are Smug" - Garfunkel and Oates

[get the red out]

81. I just find it in poor taste

[immoderate]

102. And I just care if it tastes good.

--imm

[Blue Owl]

82. The pubic hair sprinkles aren't exactly helping things here

n/t

[Kelvin Mace]

114. It's the little touches

that make it pretty revolting, or funny, apparently, judging by some of the posts here.

[cbdo2007]

83. That's awesome. Might get one for my wife for her birthday.

[Kelvin Mace]

115. I hope you know your wife well

or a good divorce lawyer if you don't.

[cbdo2007]

120. Why wouldn't I know my wife well?

That was an odd statement.

[redqueen]

84. So... did the penis and boob cakes that have been popular for decades help alleviate world hunger?

[Orrex]

87. !

[Kelvin Mace]

108. I have never been a big fan of them either

to be honest.

[Warren DeMontague]

109. thank you.

I think I made the exact same point.

I would hope no one thinks this cake is an accurate depiction of human reproductive physiology, though. A baby born that way is in serious trouble, as is the mom.

[Rex]

89. Sure, what the hell.

Why not.

[Vashta Nerada]

90. I'd lick that.

[Kelvin Mace]

107. Yeah,

but you give people additional shadows, then strip all the flesh of them and spit out their bones.

[Vashta Nerada]

110. Oooooh.

Someone actually knows my screen name is a Doctor Who villain!

Awesome!

[Kelvin Mace]

113. My sister is on here somewhere and she would nail it too

In converted her starting with Eccleston, but I go back to to Baker myself. Though I love them all...

[Beacool]

92. That must be the tackiest cake I've ever seen. Yuck!!!!!

I hope that at least it tasted good.

[Kelvin Mace]

103. Who would eat it?

I certainly wouldn't.

[Beacool]

119. Good point..........

[Efilroft Sul]

95. The baker was never the same after he saw "Alien."

[Prism]

98. Should've been a woman sitting on a toilet.

It's very erotic.

[KansDem]

101. You'll have to admit, though, the kid looks cozy.

All snug and warm.

[REP]

111. It's hilarious - so much better than the usual baby-glurge themes

Though I'm still going with an Alien with a baby ripping out of it if/when my BFF decides to go that route ...

[Kelvin Mace]

112. With friends like these...

[Lyta2000]

116. lol

I like the creativity of it. Wouldn't eat it though.

[gopiscrap]

117. welcome to DU
