Hilariously Mean Farewell Cakes

Happy events in your life must be celebrated properly. Like when stupid, annoying people leave your life for good. What better way to tell your co-worker that you won’t miss him and that you hope he fails in his next job than with a delicious cake?

When did the tradition of celebrating with a cake start? Cakes have been a part of celebrations in Western European countries since the middle of the 19th century. However, the link between cakes and celebrations may date back to ancient Roman times. In classical Roman culture, something similar to modern cakes were occasionally served at special birthdays and at weddings. These were flat circles made from flour and nuts, leavened with yeast, and sweetened with honey. In the 15th century, bakeries in Germany began to market one-layer cakes for customers’ birthdays in addition to cakes for weddings. During the 17th century, the birthday cake took on its contemporary form. These elaborate 17th century cakes had many aspects of the modern birthday cake: multiple layers, icing, and decorations. However, these cakes were only available to the extremely rich. Birthday cakes became accessible to the lower class as a result of the industrial revolution and the spread of more materials and goods. So, it has become the cultures and traditions to celebrate the birthday with delicious cake and beautiful wishes… or in this case: rude messages.
