I remember an episode of Barney Miller, in which a complaint had been made about a bakery making obscene shaped pastries. A box was brought into the station. The pastries were never described or shown, just people’s reaction to them. As Yemana(Jack Soo) said “I never would have thought of putting poppyseeds _there_!”

Same place I’m going to hand in my stomach. I won’t be needing it anymore.

The website Cake Wrecks shows some dreadful baby birthing cakes and cupcakes. Ugh.

Does this trend mean that wedding cakes should be explicit representations of what we all know the happy couple are going to be doing on honeymoon?

I think Vincent Price did it best in “Theater of Blood”.

"[Whereof their mother daintily hath fed, Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred.](Whereof their mother daintily hath fed, eating the flesh that she herself hath bred.) "

- -Titus Andronicus, Scene III\*

“oh, you can’t leave on maternity leave yet; you’ve left us all these cupcakes! (~aside~ …bring the funnel…)”

My daughter’s baby is due in a few months, and if I never want her to talk to me again, I know what to send her. The cupcakes are bad but the cake is in the running for worst cake ever.
