Why is it that weddings get elaborate cakes, but breakups don’t?
Shouldn’t the mature decision to separate, and live independent lives that are ultimately healthier and more beneficial for both parties involved, merit a beautiful baked good? Why do you only get a damn layer cake when you decide to tie yourself to someone for the rest of your life?
Here are some cakes which believe that the dissolution of a marriage is worth celebrating even more so than the marriage itself. Because when you’re experiencing heartache, you need chocolate, sugar and carbs by the truckload — and you deserve a special dessert as a testament to all you’ve been through.
So celebrate your single life and eat cake, for God’s sake.
