UK Baker Educates Others About Sexual Health Using STD Cupcakes
Elise Ying-Hei Ho — October 17, 2012 — Lifestyle
Just in time for Halloween, a famous UK baker known as Miss Cakehead has revealed a disturbingly realistic series of STD cupcakes.
Sure, cupcakes are sweet and savory and versatile. But imagine visually and literally consuming an STD? These spooky STD cupcakes are a fantastically gruesome way to frighten guests at your Halloween party. Replicate these treats or design some of your own by using food coloring and some melted sweets. It wouldn't hurt to add a little oozing jelly filling either.
While some believe these desserts seem repulsive, Miss Cakehead, who is well-known for her edible anatomical creations, explained that they are actually there to educate others on sexual health. Her wacky treats will be on sale this Halloween at the Eat Your Heart Out pop-up show at London’s St. Bartholomew’s Hospital Pathology Museum.
