    Assuming this isn’t just shopped, which it probably is… As a guy that bakes cakes from scratch a couple of times a year, two things:

    1. Props to whomever got that pattern into the cake, that couldn’t have been easy. Imagine: There’s a toroidal swastika in that cake.
    2. That’s one ugly-ass cake for having spent so much time on it.

      I guess it’s the same concept as a checkerboard cake just cutting the rings to make a swastika instead. But yeah why go through all the mess to make the outside that sloppy.

        Because, even for Nazis, it’s the inside that counts.

        Nazism will even cover up for the sin of you not being white.

          Fascism is, as much as anything, a process of exterminating those you don’t like until things collapse. Nazism will cover the sin of you not being white - but only for a while - you’ll find yourself back at the front of the queue once those more “undesirable” than you are shuffled off to the camps.

      The image is so blurry… the foreground slice could have been a paper swastika cutout placed on the slice and cocoa powder sprinkled on it to create the symbol. The background cake looks partly copied from the foreground swastika.

      E: autocorrect is annoying af

        The partial swastika is facing the wrong direction. Or I guess the slice is upside-down. Looks like two thin sheet cakes samwhiching a glob of frosting or ganache.

          It’s the right direction. Look at where the top is on the cut piece, and think of which direction you will flip it when you put it down on the plate.

              They just tilted to the right to put it on the plate rather than tilted to the left. Does that really make it upside down?

              Is tilting to the right to drop a piece of cake on a plate violating some kind of standard cake serving protocol?

              EDIT or in other words, had they tilted the serving utensil to the left to drop the slice on the plate, the swastike would match the orientation you see on the remaining uncut portion of the cake.

      If you look closely at it you can see layering, so it might actually be real
