"DivorceCakes" news and stories

• Pretty cakes are nice and all, but there's nothing quite like a baked concoction that brings on peals of laughter. At the aptly named Frostitution, cakes take on a whole different spin -- like, say, the miracle of life.
• And if cakes of nekkidness aren't your cup of tea, there's divorce cakes as well.
• One more reason to save your toonies for chocolate treats: Xococava.
• Wine deals: Hardys Stamp Series 2007 Riesling Gewurztraminer, Deakin Estate 2006 Merlot, and Katnook Founder's Block 2005 Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon.
• Farmers with roadside signs might get a break.
• Monforte Dairy whips up some tasty cheese, and gives me another reason to hit Brickworks on Saturday.
• Gilead Cafe: A bit out of the way, but worth the trip.
• An un-PC idea for wine snobbery and hints of petrol, plus some prime wine choices.

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.
