America’s collective yearning for X-rated pastries is nearing its all-time climax. ellaquittner reports
This is a waffle. Photo: Evan Angelastro On a recent Thursday night in Brooklyn, a dark party thrummed with humidity, bass, and women who could pull off bangs. The tattoo artist Anna Williams buzzed images of long-lashed eyeballs into guests’ triceps, a giant projection of a Jell-O mold wobbled up front, and friends took turns at the bar waiting for refills of orange wine.
Tom Rosa, owner of Cake and Art in Los Angeles, says custom requests for dirty cakes are up at least 25 percent since before March 2020. At Blue Ribbon Bakery in New Jersey, manager Yesenia Argueta tells me they’ve been turning out roughly twice as many naughty cakes as they used to. And at Sweet Cheeks Baking Co.
Rosa tells me he’d observed a similar desire for bacchanalia among his customers. “So many people were sitting at home during COVID saying, ‘When we throw our next party, we want it like the Romans used to throw.’” Over the past several months, tastes have changed: “They used to always want a picture of their boyfriend’s dog on a cake. Now they’re like, ‘I’m gonna get a picture of a butt.’”
“I saw a neon sign of a thick woman naked, and I was in love,” says Tatyana Chouloute, who took her girlfriend to Kinky’s on a date earlier in May. “You look at the cupcakes and see different races. I was like, ‘This is the place.’” A customer of Freed’s Bakery who recently purchased a $350 penis cake so large it needed to be sheathed in multiple boxes, and who asked only to be identified as Allie, speculates that perhaps we have arrived at Peak Erotic Cake because society is more open to embracing and celebrating sexuality. “People are spending more time with people they choose to be with,” Allie theorizes, “and maybe they feel more comfortable exploring who they are and who they want to be.
