Divorce Cake 1

by Kimberly A.

I had this idea from the famous Shanna Moaker divorce cake but specific to my friend's ex-husband, who was a musician. I was bringing it to a restaurant for her Divorce Party.

The purple trim is icing. The blood is red icing with some corn syrup to make it more liquidy to pour on cake. The cake topper is actually a store-sold bride dragging the groom but when separated it looked like she pushed him off the cake.

I smeared the icing to look like he fell of the cake and the bride smashed his guitars. This table centerpiece was a big hit!

This cake is hilarious. I can imagine this being used with a couple who can laugh about their situation after all the drama has passed.

Or, they are no longer part of each others lives and what he doesn't know won't hurt him. But I would guess he did something way worse than depict his feelings in a cake.

Either way, it's not a statement on the institution of marriage. It's a statement about that particular relationship and I think it's a hoot.

Everyone who got bent out of shape about this cake needs to lighten up a bit. When the choices are laugh or cry, I'll the the laugh every time.

Some people need to lighten up....besides...if the whole idea of a divorce cake is so offensive...why did they click on the link (that SAYS Divorce Cake)to even look at the cake?! Hmmm...

Anyway..this cake is FUN! You did a great job! Would have loved one of these at my divorce party 4 yrs ago.

 Divorce Cake
by: Anonymous

For those that think that the cake is distasteful and believe that anyone who would order such a cake to not take the institution of marriage seriously needs to take a step back and think about what it is that you are saying.

First off if someone got married in the first place they DID take the institution seriously, it just didn't work out. Sure, divorce is sometimes ugly and very painful but sometimes it isn't and adding a bit of humor, regardless of how macabre it may seem to someone else, is always a good thing.

Laughing adds years to your life. So all the naysayers, lighten up already!

I'm celebrating my divorce from a man I was married to for 16 yrs. who verbally and emotionally abused me, he also cheated on me most of that time; so you're darn tootin, I'm gonna celebrate my freedom from him!

 Lighten Up
by: Such Lame People

Who the hell cares! You know what it's a damn cake and those complainers didn't you take the time to post a comment? What a life you have to complain about someones artistic cake design. I think you are lame to give such comments about how it's so hurtful and sad. IT'S ONLY A CAKE! Lighten up worry about other more important things in life. Maybe one might be, why you are on this page looking at cakes?

 Laughing is good.
by: jaime

Hey, divorce is a horrible, emotional blow for most people - especially if you take marriage seriously, which I do. So if there is something that will make the sad, wounded, emotional, half crazy divorced person, laugh, and feel like their friends care, even for a minute, even if it is totally tasteless, is that so terrible? Condemnation and judgment of others weren't christian virtues the last time I checked. Understanding and love were.

 Question?
by: Anonymous

How many kids actually use this site? And I doubt there were children at the party. So why are people making such a big deal? And when searching this site the cake is clearly labeled as "Divorce" so if it isn't something you were looking for or had a curiosity for, why are you looking at it? As far as the celebration of the divorce, we don't know the situation. It could have been a time of mourning for the relationship that was lost and a time to celebration her strength to get through it and move on with her life. Kudos for the friend who was there to support her friend.

 Freedom of Expression
by: Anonymous

A broken heart is hard to overcome & expressing your feelings in a constructive manner is a great way to deal with your emotions. I don't think this is so much a mockery of marriage itself but a way for someone to express the hurt and anger in the situation. Let's face it, anger is a part of the divorce process. It is sad when a marriage ends, but the reality is, divorce happens.

 Better to laugh than to cry
by: SusieQ

Just like to preface with the fact that I'm a Christian and share the belief that marriage is a covenant. But, the fact is that lots of hurting people are getting divorced. This cake really struck me funny. Sometimes when you are hurting so much, it really is better to try to laugh than to cry. The bride pushing the groom off the cake cracked me up. Sorry for anybody who's offended.

 NOT A DEBATE
by: Anonymous

You are very talented! The cake is very cute. I agree with the above though this is a cake site not a debate.

Although I do agree marriage is a special bond between two people who love each other, but instead of debating it on a cake site maybe you should take it to congress. The divorce rate in this country is outrageous!! Which brings me to my point-- do we as a country really believe marriage is a so special?

I like the idea behind the cake. When two people decide they are not right for each other and separate,its as if the person is celebrating their new life and starting over.

I'm very recently divorced and it was the hardest time of my life and some days...still is. I am one of those people that thinks marriage is forever - but it doesn't always turn out that way. Nothing about divorce is taken lightly...but after a really tough year and my ex-spouse treating me horrible...I decided that a divorce party with my girlfriends was in order...and yes - a cake is part of that...it's therapeutic and nothing more. There's more important things to get upset over...

 Lighten Up & Smile!!!
by: Sunshine

My goodness people! Get off your soap boxes! It's just a cake and meant to be funny, which it is! She is promoting violence or anything like that- it's just something silly of the imagination and not meant to ever be a reality. A cake like this would be for a divorce party, nowhere near children. I think a lot of you just want to criticize and act self righteous instead of laughing off a simple joke cake. You guys really need to get your rolling pins out of your butts, laugh once in a while and stop being such sour pusses!

Awesome work on the cake- you have a wonderful talent! : )

 Cake people.... Its all about the cake!
by: Anonymous

Let me start by saying that I am happily married and do not take the idea of divorce lightly. However, I do believe that sometimes it is necessary. Many times people get married for the wrong reasons and divorced for the right ones... With that being said I would also like to say that while I don't necessary condone the message from this cake I do like the idea of a divorce cake. If a divorce is something that you have elected to do to better yourself then by all means CELEBRATE! And I must say that this cake, regardless of the message, was very intricate and well done! ((And isn't that the point of this site anyway? To comment on the cake itself-not rag on a person for how the feel or the choices that they make..)) People really just need to grow up! Overall... Great Cake!

I'm still a kid and my parents are going through divorce. It is defiantly a very sad thing. And I think the cake is a good idea cause after the long while filled with tears and anger, people need a laugh. for those of you who haven't experienced divorce some way, it's hard but most adults that divorced eventually forget that they did and become friends. I think the cake would be funny to the "divorcies" And I think the cake looks awesome! Good job! (and if people are wondering why a kid is on here, I am an amazing cake decorator.)

 Unjustifiable
by: Anonymous

Imagine the reaction if a man had come up with a cake like this .... accusations of supporting violence & abuse against women, being threatening & women-hating. I am a feminist and I believe in equality - and having equality also involves taking responsibility. Sexist jokes against women are often 'funny' but are offensive. Divorce is instigated by the women in 2/3 of cases and half of partner-on-partner violence is initiated by the woman. This cake is unjustifiable.

no matter what anyone says, this cake is hilarious!
I've been divorced, and it was the best thing that could have happened to me. I suppose there are still some people who would rather stay with an abusive, cheating jerk rather than have the "scandal" of a divorce, and anyone who tries to make the best of it by making light of the situation would be a terrible person in their eyes.
don't listen to them, this cake is awesome!

I believe in God with that being said, I personally would not have a cake like the one above but I did get a laugh out of it! This is supposed to be a site for "crafty" or "un-crafty" people to get tips and ideas for cakes. The person who came up with this idea is very creative and definitely has talent. But the comments that are putting down people that believe in God are just tasteless and uncalled for. I'm sure the person who made this cake was not trying to offend anyone in anyway except for maybe the ex-husband!!

 Bad behavior 101
by: Kirsten

Guess I missed the point. I figured divorce meant getting on with your life and preparing for what comes next- not holding onto the past. Me? I would opt for a butterfly cake. Something that symbolizes growth and positive change. As a child of divorced (not soon enough either) parents and a Christian- I don't think divorce is always a bad thing- especially when it saves the lives of your children. But, let's be adults about it, shall we? But maybe that bad behavior led to the big "D" in the first place? LOL

 Interesting...I guess.
by: Nikki CY

Yeah...I've heard of "divorce cakes," but this one is pure tacky. I'm happily, happily married for 7 years and believe in the covenant made before God. But knowing that some people must tragically go through divorce, I understand there may be various coping mechanisms. I would suspect, however, that a "divorce cake" theme would be something more hip, like a gal on the beach, either alone or with a girlfriend(s), celebrating her "second honeymoon." Or a guy marrying his new boat or something, with a caption about "isn't she beautiful." But thank you for allowing the alternate link, so we could still be able to comment. I really like your tact on the whole thing. Good job, coolest-cakes!

I have been married for 7 years myself. No, I would rather die than divorce, coming from a divorced family, like some of you have mentioned. But it happens.

(Being mentioned before) getting over it and moving on!!!!

this cake is fantastic. I'm currently getting married and can still find the humour in this cake. everyone needs to get over it. its a bloody cake. and its good that someone made this cake, I'm so over super pink princess cakes, how about some creativity. no one died on this cake, and for all you people judging about the kids that got hurt and broken husbands and god, you dont know the full story. I'd rather get divorced and be a lone spinster that stay with some abusive alcoholic man, love or no love, god or no god. get over it all.

keep up the good work!!

 It's just a CAKE!
by: Anonymous

WOW...this cake caused quite the stir! I fully believe in marriage being the picture of God's love and the relationship of Christ and the church. Marriage is sacred and divorce is tragic. HOWEVER, this is a cake...that's it a cake. Sure it's not for everyone. Sure it makes light of a tragic situation. I know some who are divorced...and my one friend would think this was hysterical! It's a cake. It's an artistic expression of the baker's interpretation of divorce. It's creative...evokes a laugh..and shows the decorator's talent. I think it would not have been so dicey had there been no blood though. It's not something I would ever bake or celebrate BUT I'm not everyone.

 Think about it...
by: Anonymous

I'm a Christian grew up in a Christian home and watched my mother go through 2 divorces. She had bad taste in men to say the least. Both of which were abusive, physically and emotionally!!! So my mom had divorce parties one including my mom throwing her wedding band into the ocean...

But the point is not all marriages go the way God planned them to. God has the "perfect mate" out there for us and some people choose the wrong ones first.

I watched my mother get hurt and then myself, my ex-stepsister, and my (at the time) baby brother abused by a guy that was supposed to be our "dad". Now I understand that some of you see this as dark and horrific. Yes a little less blood could have been better but to some women and even the rest of their families it could be the best decision they ever made.

You CANNOT automatically assume that everyone has the perfect biblical marriage it doesn't always happen and for the people it does... good for them! But I know from personal experience that a divorce was the best thing for everyone including her children in those situations. Because he would not get help and would get worse!!! So people grow up!!!

And for all you "Christians" out there. God is the only one that knows what is really going on. And how dare you to call yourself Christians when you yourself are bashing and judging people... To me doesn't sound very Godly! I don't understand how some of you have the nerve to say some of these things. Get your nose out of your Bible and look out into the world!! It's not perfect a world by any means! AND MY MOM DID THE CHRISTIAN THING BY DIVORCING HER EX!!!! So go ahead and keep saying that divorce is awful and "hurts the children" yes sometimes it does. But sometimes it takes those abused and beaten down children and spouses out of horrible situations!

AND GOD TOLD MY MOTHER TO GET DIVORCED SHE PRAYED OVER IT FOR MONTHS AND I WAS PRAYING BY HER SIDE!!!!

SO DON'T BRING GOD AND CHRISTIANITY INTO THIS BEFORE YOU ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE WORLD AROUND YOU AND THINK FROM THE OTHER PERSON'S POINT OF VIEW!!!
May 06, 2009
 Wow...
by: Eden

I honestly think you people are thinking way to much into this cake!

I know for a fact that many women have had horrible husbands and so when they get a divorce it's like a load off their shoulders. My mother being one of them. She would think this cake is disturbing but kinda funny in it's own way.

PLUS!!

It's creative!!! It's new and different and served it's purpose! It got your attention! And really if they were "celebrating" her divorce... The guy couldn't have been to great. Because in order to have a celebration big enough for that cake you have to have A LOT of people!!!

So just think next time you speak!!!

I TOTALLY agree with Grandma! Great talent, but my goodness even if the marriage was absolutely horrible and it's over; I don't think that celebrating a divorce is appropriate. Especially the form this cake takes on. This is absolutely disgraceful. Anyone that would make this cake for their divorce would make me question who is the bad one. I don't even think this cake is funny either. When it is over there may be relief afterwards, but please don't celebrate. Divorce is not a glorious thing and it makes me sad that people would imagine celebrating over it. Enough said. My insides just turned seeing this.

I followed this "Controversy" when it first came about. The cake is an individual kind of thing - whatever you think of divorce. Now that my sister has completed her divorce from a real piece of work I wish I lived in the same town to make it for her. I'd put a smashed up Harley on it instead though. I sent her a link to the picture so she could get a laugh out of it.

I think the blurred image is a great compromise.

 Cake Without The Blood
by: Anonymous

I agree with the above posters that marriage is definitely a sacred bond, and divorce is not something that should be taken lightly. On the other hand... sometimes divorce is the best thing for the couple and the children, if there are any. So, in that case I can definitely sympathize with the divorce celebration. I like the idea of the cake, it's funny, but the blood could have been left out. I don't think depicting a murder on a cake is a great idea. Other than that.. love it!

That cake must have taken you a long time to make and I'm sure a lot of love for your friend went into that. Good Job!!!

As far bringing God/Jesus into it, if one believes in Him, He encompasses your whole life, and he should. A person doesn't just walk through life separating God from other parts of their life as that is the exact opposite that God calls us to do. So yes, bring God into it! And it isn't just a cake. The cake was made to celebrate something tragic in ones life. I agree with others that this is awful, especially because of the "murder" aspect of it. I can see the idea of trying to brighten someone's day by making them this style cake, but how about a little more tasteful? What are we teaching young children by making cakes like this and celebrating divorce, the very thing that destroyed their family? Come on. It isn't just a cake. It's the purpose of the cake and the way the cake was done.

 WONDERFUL!
by: Tiffany

I celebrate this cake, it's cooky, it's funny, it's honest. When people get divorced it usually isn't all Hollywood and "oh we'll still be friends", people want the other spouse dead.

As said a thousand times you're very talented and this is one of the best cakes you have done.

I salute you and people who don't like this cake can simply not look at it AND NOT ORDER IT IF THEY DON'T LIKE IT.

It has nothing to do with G-d or Jesus. IT'S A CAKE and anyone who fails to see that has some serious mental issues- especially if they bring g-d or morals into it...
IT'S A CAKE.

by: Anonymous

You people had a problem with this woman cheering up a friend over a divorce from what was probable a horrible marriage and crummy guy.
Complain about something worthwhile...like the fact that every channel you click on has boobs and twenty year old girls bent over in bikinis. Thats distasteful and ruining marriages because television is showering men with ideas of sleeping with hordes of girls(not even women) and leaving wives out to look like rotten balls and chains who only get in the way of husband's sexual frolicking with the half dressed women on tv and in the public. Write the FCC...don't blog a cake site.

If the divorcee made it, it keeps her mind off the divorce, gives her some closer to the relationship, and some people might even pay her to make them a divorce cake. So you people that think you are all high and mighty, sorry to blow your ego, but its a cake. Get over it. There are a lot better things to do in life than freak out over a cake.

 AWESOME cake!!!!
by: Anonymous

I do not think this cake is about "killing the ex", but about an ending to an unhappy marriage.

Someone said in the comments that they hope the kids, if any, were not there to partake in this party. Why would you take your kids to your divorce party??

Another person had made a comment about if they made the site, they would not put this cake on their site.. Well, it's a good thing you do not run this site then!

Say it with me now... THIS IS A CAKE SITE to get decorating IDEAS! That person had an idea, whether everyone agrees with it or not, and she posted it.

And in response to the person who said "marriage is sacred". BLAH!!! it might have been 50 years ago, but not in today's world it isn't.

My comment on the cake: I love it, great idea, excellent creativity, and excellent job!

My idea for my wedding cake (I'm not married yet), is a black cake with a fountain, the water in the fountain would be colored red (to look like blood). I want my wedding to be on Halloween, with everyone dressed up. I would be dressed like "Bride of Chucky", my husband would be dressed like "Chucky", the wedding party would be monster couples like "Frankenstein" and "Bride of Frankenstein".

First, don't equate red frosting to OJ Simpson killing his ex wife. Its an argument that a retarded 4th grader would make during a mock trail debate. It is one of the stupidest comments yet.

Second, they didn't have -this- cake at the wedding so its not tromping on the sanctity of marriage. Its a cake, my sister had a tiered cake for her graduation. Was that tromping on the sanctity of marriage because it was 3 layers instead of a sheet cake? This is not a wedding cake people, its a divorce cake, a "my ex is a scum bag and good riddance to bad rubbish" cake. Are you not allowed to eat cake if you get divorced? Is that written in the bible? No? Didn't think so. Get over it, don't like it? Then don't ask for one like it!

I'm married, happily. But if my husband were to beat me or anything worth divorce. I'd have a party too, a "I'm moving on with my life" party. It sounds a lot better than wallowing.

Lastly, I'm sure if God really was a woman she'd snicker too. All of you "God fearin' Christians" out there, if you're really Christian or whatever faith you claim to be, how dare you speak for God. How dare you claim to know what he/she thinks and feels.

 WONDERFUL CAKE...WTG!!
by: Anonymous

Great cake I love it. You are very talented and did a wonderful job of expressing yourself. It's very sad that some people think that they can lecture others about divorce. If you haven't walked a mile in someone else's shoes then perhaps you may want to consider that this is not your life before you criticize others way of expressing themselves. Wow what an amazing place the world would be if people could learn to appreciate others as individuals and remember we are all unique and special regardless of how we choose to express ourselves. I look forward to seeing more of your "divorce cake" creations. Nothing like a good divorce party to send out the old and welcome the new 8)

 It's different!!!!
by: Anonymous

When I first saw the blurred picture I thought it was something really horrible, but then I saw it, I found it amusing. I'm not saying divorce it amusing just the cake. The maker is really talented and I can just image what their Halloween cakes look like. You did a very good job. But I don't think I'd ever need your cake, not unless I got divorced. But it was cute.

 Very creative, a touch macabre
by: Jill

Hey, if the guest of honor has a sense of humor about her divorce and is throwing a PARTY to celebrate it,then why all the hub bub about this funny "cake?"

The blood is a touch much, but I think the use of the wedding cake topper is so clever in this set up!

I also agree with others that stated the kitty litter with doo doo tootsie rolls is way more visually offensive to me.

I laughed when I saw this. Divorce isn't funny, but obviously the recipient of this cake is in a party mood!

 Fabulous!
by: Shauna

I love this cake. I think it is nice and is lighthearted. When an average of 50% of marriages end up in divorce in our country, embrace it and move on. If some right wing religious people want to get down on a cake, make a difference and volunteer in some school to help restore ethics in america, in the meantime, this is the brutal truth!!

 this is NOT a divorce cake!
by: Anon E. Muss

This is clearly NOT a divorce cake but a MURDER cake! There are other, more healthy ways to handle divorce rather than murderous imagery. Talent is also beside the point if it is put to such destructive use. If the situation was reversed and a woman was the "victim" on the cake the outrage would sweep the country. Such depictions of violence are part of what is wrong in this country. Murder is NOT funny and should not be made light of, nor should murderous thoughts be celebrated like this. Anyone who thinks "it's just a cake" is obviously clueless, immature, and probably homicidal themselves. Y'all need therapy poeple! How would you feel if your brother or other close family member/friend was the "victim" on a cake like this, and then the murder actually happened? You folks are sick. Get therapy!

 A bit much...
by: Anonymous

We all know that a marriage is sacred and that divorce is a serious and often very painful matter, particularly for the children involved. But it is also true that divorce happens and it is somewhat funny that anyone would have a party to celebrate their divorce and have a specially decorated cake to add to the celebration. In my opinion, its not that there is a cake but it is the way the cake is designed. The sad, over the top part of this cake is the blood scene, insinuating that the groom is dead. A bit too graphic and shocking. This is the only part that I think could have been left out!

 Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged
by: Jessica

As a Christian woman who entered into my marriage covenant as a sacred vow, it took me 8 years to leave an abusive, crazy, man because I was afraid of the judgment of people in my church. Afterward, I even had to leave my church and find another because nobody knew what was going on at the time; I hid it from everyone. Grandma, I know you didn't mean to be judgmental against people going through divorce, but sometimes divorce is something to celebrate. Not the end of a marriage, but the courage to stand up and not let another person abuse you and misuse you and torture you anymore. It takes a lot of strength in these situations to stand up for yourself, and my friends, family, and I celebrated my long-awaited strength (that DID come from God) to leave a very very bad situation.

 I like it!
by: XvampiraX

Yeah marriage is a beautiful thing but c'mon! You're only expressing your feelings. I think it's pretty freakin funny! I love the guitars! And the way the bride looks on top of the cake. Good for you girl. I love it! :D

I THINK THE CAKE IS FUNNY, SHE WAS JUST ENLIGHTENING THE SITUATION. NO ONE GOES INTO MARRIAGE THINKING OF DIVORCE BUT FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER IT HAPPENS AND WE ARE ALL ADULTS, SO DON'T LET THE KIDS SEE IT. BESIDES ALL THE CONTROVERSY....YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB ALL TOGETHER ON THE CAKE, VERY TALENTED. I'M SURE YOU COULD DO ANY CAKE YOU WANTED. PEOPLE NEED TO LIGHTEN UP, NO ONE IS MAKING FUN OF MARRIAGE. ANYWAY... I LOVE IT!!

I think this cake is great!! I found it because I was looking at divorce cakes, I make cakes myself and my next door neighbor asked me to do one for her (its been my 1st order for 1 of those) I think its a GREAT idea!

My next door neighbor is having a divorce party at the local club for women only and for this I will be doing a pink cake with a broken ball and chain!

So I'm looking forward to this party! Well done and keep up the good work!

 Cake making is a skill
by: Kris

Ok I understand everyone can not be a Shanna Moakler and absolutely love their divorce cake, but give me a break!! All these bad comments about the cake making fun of divorce are just ridiculous. It's not taken from a real picture is it? No, so just laugh at it because that's what its supposed to do. It's just a cake people, you are looking too far into it.

Grandma, what kind of cake were you looking at that you just "HAPPENED" to stumble across this one.... just curious?

 He's not dead...
by: Karyn

I love the cake. It's funny and while I'm pro- marriage I am also pro-divorce if it needs be. When getting out of a bad situation it most definitely is time to celebrate. For those people whining about death and murder...no one said the ex-groom is dead; I'm, sure he just had a head wound, and everyone knows how much head wounds bleed...

 Lighten Up and LAUGH a little!!
by: Jennifer W.

This cake is hilarious!! Seriously if you can't laugh at life's disappointments, it will only continue to bring you down. So Granny get with the times no one is saying that marriage isn't "sacred" we are just finding light at the end of the tunnel. Life doesn't end when you get a divorce...a new chapter begins so CELEBRATE!!:)

 To each his or her own ...
by: rebecca

I know this cake is being shared here so it is fair to comment what you feel but each person has a way to deal with their emotions. I'm sure this helped her to either move past a painful divorce or allowed her to laugh for the first time in a long time. It may not be my taste and it certainly wouldn't be best served in mixed company but it has a right to exist and to be shared.

I think if I were able to create a "divorce cake," I would make someone coming through a door where they are leaving a dark place behind and entering into new possibilities such as a beautiful garden. It could be done quite well in a Barbie style cake and expanding on it from there. Let's just leave Ken out of the whole situation though, k? Lol.

Everyone needs to just lighten up. I'm sure no one meant to offend you personally. Judge not lest ye be judged and all that ya know.

I think that the person that made this cake is creative. These kinds of cakes are meant to be jokes but it seems some people lack a sense of humor. It's not like it's an abortion cake with a fetus on it...now that would be disturbing and that's putting it lightly. Get over yourselves.

 get over yourselves
by: Brenda

I agree it is a little gross and I don't agree with divorce.... but.... I am divorced! and at the time when every thing was so yucky and you are stressed beyond belief and if feels like your world is crumbling around you .... This would of made me laugh during a very hard time and that is all it is about! Laughing and getting past it... it may not be a cake that you agree with or the situation that you would want to be in or wish for any one else...but it happens and just remember it is a cake and only cake and nothing but cake... it is very well done!

Cake decorating is an art; an expression of PERSONAL creativity. If you do not agree with the creation of this cake, please don't look at it, and certainly do not make it. It's really that simple.

I actually think that the "kitty litter" cake is less tasteful!

This cake reminds me of a poem.

a heart, to love him
a diamond, to marry him
a club, to smash his freakin head in
and a spade, to bury the bugger

:-)

The lady just got divorced, what is she supposed to do, sit around and fret about how unfortunate her situation is? About how sad divorce is? About how it was supposed to be sacred? I'm sure she knows all this far far too well. So give the lady a break and let her celebrate any way she wants.

It's funny. You have to have to have a sense of humor about everything..or you will just be unhappy and bitter.

As an X-Girlfriend of a musician, I can relate to this baker of this cake.

It's just a cake - she didn't actually do anything to the X-husband. Except brake a few toy guitars.

BRAVO!
