most of those are omg, wtf, especially in their homemade-ness. i think the cupcakes are actually part of a vagina monologue/take back the night sort of thing, not a baby shower thing. and the super crazy monster tongue and teeth cake is, i think, part of a larger, awesome, art project but i can't remember any details to search for it.

I used to do potluck brunch with a bunch of women in my hometown and the subject frequently turned to what a friend of mine and I called "E&E" (epidurals & episiotomies). They would get into detail to the point where I had to leave the table, faint, once.
Now I will forever have fantasies about serving those cupcakes to the brunch ladies.

Calling a vulva a "vagina" is kind of like, from the perspective of other people in North and South America, calling Americans "Americans", but in the opposite sense. American citizens of the United States are not the continental vulva, but a composite and important part, the vagina.

As I see it, there's a sort of synechdoche at play here. Kind of like how the other link to so-called penis cakes is, in fact, a link to cakes that depict both penises and scrota. I think if someone wants their baby shower to have decorative sweets that depict vaginas then more power to them, and if in addition other parts of the female anatomy are depicted too, well, that's just icing on the cake.

Doing this for a baby shower isn't one person doing something they enjoy, but the person who organized it inflicting something upon others, because they themselves enjoy it and want to force others to try it too, or because they have passive-aggressive issues. If you know you whole group would be "into" this then go ahead, but given the squick-out here, I think that's pretty unlikely.

We had a baby shower for one of the nurses at work recently and one of the receptionists made a cake almost identical to #9. Since we are a medical facility people's reactions tended to be laughter more than WTF. It was strawberry cake and tasted pretty good I must admit. But I do hope no one at work finds out about diapers and chocolate when the next woman gets pregnant.
And just in case anyone is wondering all this was in the break room in the back, away from patients and families.

Ok these are so great. How can you not think they are great? I love how in one cake the strawberry sauce is covering the emerging baby's head for that extra birth realism.
The only problem I see is that by focusing on baby showers the audience is unnecessarily limited. I'm going to get one of these every year for my son's birthday to remind him where he comes from.

I cannot believe none of you people have linked CakeWrecks, which has entire galleries of bad shower cakes. Vaginas, c-sections, and placentas...yes placentas...have all been represented.
If I was an academic, I'd get a grant to study how this trend reflects American women's ambivalence about birth and motherhood.

OMG, I think I would rather have a baby shower filled with awkward silences, nervous laughter and crazed tales with liberal libations.
Speaking from the technical standpoint, instead of fondant I think marzipan would have been a better sculpting medium and it takes color beautifully; an example, demon pig.

You know most of the time I'm sort of annoyed about how we, as a society, act about vulvas. They're portrayed in such an unrealistic way, without weird, overlong inner labia on occasion or pubic hair or whatever else. BUT I MEANT I WANTED MORE VARIETY IN PICTURES OF NAKED PEOPLE. I did NOT want the cornicopita of vulvic variety expressed in HYPERREALIETIC EDIBLE FOODSTUFFS.
It's largely the disembodiedness that really creepifies. Even if I was at a Vagina Monologues or something I don't think I'd be like "wow, that sure was a great lesson about my vaginal health, I just wish I could wash it down with some fruit punch and a cupcake topped with a fondant version of the business end of a Fleshlight."
Some days, from over here in my male/female relationship, I sit down and I'm like, "you know, I miss pussy". Today? Today is not one of those days.

I went to a baby shower with my mother (some distant cousin or something, I don't recall, but I was home on vacation) once and as this was a much younger generation she was kind of shocked at some of the frank birth discussion. However when it came to the games she was really into it until ... until the diaper game. The host explained the game, my mother turned to me and said "I don't believe in sniffing diapers, we need to leave." and just straight up got up and left. IT WAS AWESOME.
