Wedding Cakes: Move Over and Make Way for ? Divorce Cakes

By Janet Langjahr

A bakery in neighboring Broward County, Florida recently added a new treat to its menu: divorce cakes.

Divorce cakes help to “celebrate” - what else? - divorce.

Ironically, divorce cakes taste the same as wedding cakes.

But they look a little different.

The happy bride and groom atop the cake are substituted with the customer’s choice of:

• a man and woman on separated sections of cake
• a prison cell and the proverbial ball and chain - with the chain broken
• a man taken out with the trash by the wife
• a man sitting on a street curb
• a woman about to push a man down a waterfall and
• the “broken marriage” cemetery, filled with tombstones and an open casket containing a ring.

Some folks actually believe that eating a divorce cake provides more closure than a divorce trial or uncontested final divorce hearing.
