Cakes filled with everything from scissors and blueberries well placed to sperm melting – have become a sensation on social networks while bakers in the United States promote photos of bakery products decorated to celebrate the procedure.

The most recent buzz generated was an Instagram post by Signature Desserts in Nolensville, Tennessee, featuring a frosted buttercream cake with "100% HAPPY VASECTOMY JUST WITHOUT SEEDS!" written at the top. It included hand-painted lemons on edible paper and cost the client $ 30 for her husband.

This 6-inch red velvet cake has become viral. Since then, the company has also received cake requests for hysterectomy.

"It's not every day that someone wants a humorous and upbeat cake," said Nate Clingman, business owner with his wife Jillian, who makes about 50 cakes a month. "It exploded very fast and I was surprised."

For small bakers, offering cakes for staggered opportunities is one way to increase profits, as the traditional graduation model of anniversaries – weddings – communions – communions becomes obsolete. Finding alternative opportunities to create business is very similar to what the greeting card industry tried to do. Approximately 500,000 vasectomies are performed each year in the United States, according to The urology journal.

"Cake is just a combination of eggs, flour, sugar and butter, but what you can do with it (creates) opportunities," said Ashleigh Evans, director of operations analysis for Aaron Allen & Associates global food services firm. "If there is a Hallmark card for that, there may be a cake for her."

Among the other vasectomy cakes made by bakers across the country, one can cite a 3D, Mr. Peanut, which infringes the copyright, with a bandage at the groin, messages such as that "Snip Snip Hooray" and "I just removed the swim team", written in frosting, and anatomically correct. genitals with chocolate chips serving as pubic hair.

The vasectomy cake made by Lynn Light was graphic; he had small testicles, melting, with a black bow in the center of a flesh-colored chocolate cake.

"I did not know what to think at first," said Wicked Cakes owner in New Riegel, Ohio, recalling how she responded to her client's request. "I thought it was a great way to show your appreciation for what a partner is going through."

It was not the first time Light had used a $ 65 chef for an unusual dessert. She has also prepared divorce cakes, corset cakes for birthdays for 18-year-old boys, and a large beer-bottle-shaped cake for a bachelor party.

"There is definitely a market for that," said Light. "People are finding different ways to find humor and celebrate some of the most delicate things in life."

That's why Whitney Reinhart, 34, of Fenton, Mich., Ordered this cake for her husband, Donnie, 40 years old. They have two sons – two years and five months – and have already finished having children, so she threw him what she called "ball travel" party in February and invited around 30 people .
