Divorces Deserve A Cake As Much As A Wedding, Say Bitter Divorcées – And Bakers

A fancy cake is a tradition as firmly entrenched in the wedding celebration as rings and flowers. But shouldn’t there be a fancy cake to celebrate when a marriage sours? More and more bakers – and divorcées – think so. One baker in South Africa reports that he has been asked to create a lot of unusual divorce cakes. Decorations for the “bittersweet” concoctions include torn-up marriage certificates and a ball-and-chain with the ball sawn off. Other examples gleaned from the Web include Barbie figurines holding a bloodied Ken head, a bride booting a groom in the behind, and a shovel-carrying groom standing next to a gravestone.
