I apologise for ruining all your "cakey" fun but I was replying to a tweet from one of my followers about cakes made in likeness to human body parts being creepy. This image immediately popped into my head from a very repressed memory of how black pain is mocked + ridiculed.
Furthermore, below is Swedish minister Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth. The cake was designed as a racist caricature of an African woman, supposedly to depict the harmful/inhumane process of FGM. They told her to whisper "your life will be better after this" as she cuts into the crotch.
