We Need to Talk About These Horrifying Baby Shower Cakes

For some reason, pregnancy is associated with eating a lot of cake. There's the "omg we're pregnant" cake, the gender reveal cake, and, last but definitely not least, the baby shower cake. Ah, the baby shower cake. It used to be a sheet cake with some pink or blue piped flowers and a congratulatory message. But not anymore. Now, moms-to-be and their loved ones are taking the baby shower cake to a whole new, extremely literal level.

Behold, the vagina cake.

The vagina baby shower cake comes in many forms.

Some are really not afraid to go there.

And others are way more terrifying than giving birth ever has been.

Either way, we have so many questions.

First of all, is that poop? That's totally poop.

And, is this a baby or an Olympic swimmer splashing out of the birth canal?

Why is this cake giving birth to an 85-year-old man?

Who measured this vagina-to-baby-head ratio? It's giving me anxiety. And, where did that newborn get a headband?

What's with the spongy stuff surrounding the baby? Does this vagina have insulation?

Why is this baby doing the splits? That's a terrible thing to do at a time like this.

And, finally, what the actual hell is going on here? I need an ambulance just from looking at this cake.

If you're pregnant and thoroughly freaked out (or not pregnant and even more thoroughly freaked out), just remember: no matter what happens in the delivery room, your baby won't be born with a 41-inch plastic head and covered in strawberry topping, and that's a fact worth celebrating — perhaps with a nice, gory slice of vagina cake.
