9 Nasty Truths About Your Favorite Foods
Famous Death Row Last Meals
We all know that the cake is one of the most important parts of the whole wedding hoopla. Immense amounts of time and energy are put into choosing a design and cake tastings. But what happens when you get divorced?According to a wedding cake designer in Florida, you get a cake. At least that's according to Larry Bach, the owner of Sprinkles Custom Cakes in Winter Park, Florida. Though his bakery does far more wedding cakes, Mr. Bach admits that he has created a few cakes for women going through a divorce. The trend started about six years ago, and the bakery charges about $185 per cake.
So, a divorce cake? Why not? Not that I've ever experienced either event, but I would imagine that a divorce consumes as much energy as a wedding, if not more. You should mark the occasion in some big, and hopefully very tasty, way.

I wish my mom had celebrated ehr divorce from my dad that way, rather than being upset over it. He's certainly not worth the tears and she's better than that.

I wonder how many people are aware that thanks to the incredibly high divorce rate, family upbringing, and the debauchery of the "sanctity" o marriage displayed on tv, many many many of my generation (I'm nineteen) have honestly given up hope that two people can be together for more than a handful of years. My parents just celebrated their silver anniversary and I would've never been surprised about that until I took a look into the norm of married couples. Twenty five years is a much more of a personal goal than a simple reminder of happiness than it used to be, I guess.
That being said, any excuse for cake is a legitimate excuse.

Imagine the advertisement, "Buy one divorce (about $75K+), get free divorce cake on final judgement day! Divorce is a no win situation. If one can still laugh, God bless. I sent the cake pics to my attorney.
