Remember the first time you ever saw a photo cake. You were probably a kid at the birthday party for one of your rich friends. They pull out the cake and there he is, in all his photorealistic glory, right there on the frosting. Everyone wants to see it, and oddly enough, everyone can’t wait to eat it. “I want Anthony’s head,” the kids shout.
So how and why did we take this slightly odd practice and make it a whole lot weirder by replacing seven year old kids with first trimester embryos?
Sonogram cakes are exactly what you’d expect them to be - cakes with ultrasound pictures worked right into the top layer of frosting.
I don’t want to sound insensitive, but this gives me nightmares. As someone who rarely thinks babies are cute, I definitely don’t think that bean-sized fetuses are anything adorable. And I definitely - positively, absolutely - don’t want to bite into their amniotic faces, albeit made out of sugary frosting.
Fortunately, it’s not too late to turn this trend around. Bakeries should adopt a strong “No Sonogram Cake” policy, and whenever someone asks for one, give them a stork cake instead. Yeah, remember storks? They used to be our PG, totally not weird way of explaining childbirth.
Now, we just put it all out there, like some kind of gynecological food collage.









OMG, this is hilarious.
