“Albino Turds” - Yup, I’m adding that to my list of potential band names!

It doesn’t sound to me like it was anyone’s actual wedding cake: rather, it’s attempting to associate Shark Fin Soup as a wedding tradition with blood and horror in the minds of Chinese couples. It sounds like an activist artwork, not a cake anyone served.

I like your syntax. It can so easily be amusingly misinterpreted. 😃

(And I agree that it’s not a cake for someone’s actual wedding.)
