Poo Cake

A disgruntled baker took ####-flinging to a near-literal level when she retaliated against a client by providing her engagement party with a poo-shaped cake topped with the words "eat ####."

Emma McDonald, owner and operator of Oh Cakes near Invercargill, New Zealand, was contracted to produce a cake for an engagement party by the bride-to-be's sister.

The customer had $30 (~$25) left on a $50 (~$40) voucher after buying something else, and she asked McDonald to bake her a chocolate cake for the party.

The transaction rubbed McDonald the wrong way, according to a message she later posted on Facebook: "Your [sic] left with a $30 voucher and you want a cake still?? ok cool - give me some ideas?? oh wait you have none apart from wanting chocolate. I have a brilliant idea for your cake!!! - so here it is, your turd cake! Hope you learn your lesson."

The unnamed customer, who was understably shocked to discover the surprise awaiting her and 100 guests inside the "magnificently wrapped" cake box, responded to McDonald's post with her own status update: "We r just at my sister's engagement and got your cake, we and every1 else is absolutely disgusted."

When reached for comment this week, McDonald told the Herald on Sunday she had "no regrets at all about what I did."

"I feel she got what she deserved," she continued. "I don't make cakes as a business. It is just a hobby and I'm taking it all with good humour."

The incident incited such ire among locals that Invercargill's mayor Tim Shadbolt was moved to respond. "I think this must have been done with humour," he told the paper, "but sometimes humour can go terribly wrong."

Not in McDonald case: It seems she'll be getting the last laugh.

"Seems to be popping up everywhere," she wrote on Facebook after the #### cake story went viral. "Business opportunities have been thrown my way as well."

I'd prefer chocolate turd cake to pie to be honest.

I'm not sure I know what this means or why it would cause the baker to get that upset. Or upset at all.

That chick that ate the 72 oz steak could probably make a serious one of these.

I read through this it (horrible read btw) and agree, doesn't make sense.

Maybe her cakes are pretty pricey and she was insulted that the lady thought she would make a cake for so little? That's all I got.

Oh. I could see that. I just assumed she was mad that the lady was using a gift card that had $30 on it to pay for some of it.
