But the cake-makers say it’s just the teddy bear’s seam.
A woman in the United Kingdom is demanding a refund for a christening cake because the teddy bear cake-toppers have “vaginas”.
Mother-of-three Sharon Green was “appalled” to discover the £60 cake she picked up for her three-year-old daughter’s christening, which she ordered in January from Occasion Cakes in Bolton, had a “crease” that looked like female genitalia.
Here is a version of the christening cake Mrs Green picked up (just imagine the teddies decked out in pink):
Mrs Green said the cake she picked up two days before the event was different to the original display model, which did not have creases.
“It is completely inappropriate. The cake is supposed to be for a three-year-old girl,” the 45-year-old told The Bolton News.
“It is not just me who thought this, it was a talking point at the christening – everyone was commenting on it.”
The mother from Standish then complained on the cake store’s Facebook page, calling the cake’s detailing “offensive and completely inappropriate”, and asked for a refund.
But the cake shop has hit back at the mother’s claims and denied her refund request, saying the line on the teddy bears‘ stomachs was supposed to represent the seam where the bears had been sewn together.

Ok personally I think the crease looks a bit suggestive but considering the amount of work that has gone into the cake I would have assumed that it was a mistake. I may have possibly called the cake shop and tactfully said "the cake is lovely but I'm a little confused about the crease it looks a bit suggestive?" When they explained I would have realised it is meant to be innocent. I would have left it at that, or worse case scenario, smudged the icing or put something in front of it or something. Or probably just giggled with a couple friends at the christening and said "is it just me or does it look a bit suggestive."
But people like this woman are why I absolutely passionately hate religion. She is having a christening, and yet are is so small minded mean and petty. Does she really think that Jesus would have made this fuss? I know many people who are church goers but mean nasty hypocrites, which is of course not to say there aren't good people who go to church too, but it seems like these people are good or bad regardless of the fact they go to church, because if they are taught any morals at church they certainly seem to disregard it. And I hate how people think that because they go to church they are better than people like me, whereas my parents taught me real morals not fake morals like these people learn, where it is all a PR stunt where they wear their cross go to church but don't have a kind bone in their body!
