Cake-riarchy

I greatly enjoy the blog Cake Wrecks; it’s one of the few sites I visit regularly that is not feminism focused. A recent post had two pictures of cakes that resemble the Playboy bunny. The rub? The cakes were for a 12-year-old and a 16-year-old. Jen, the author of the blog, puts it best:

Seriously, what was going through the parents’ minds when ordering these cakes?
