30 CURSED cakes that will leave you in tears

For decades, cakes have been synonymous with birthdays. Nothing screams joy as much as cutting the popular dessert to the sounds of confetti poppers in the background. Over the past few years, however, we’ve realised that everyday is a celebration in itself. Gone are the times when cake shops only piped ‘Happy Birthday’ onto the confection. Today, we honour everything from divorces and pregnancies to… car accidents and even calling the cops on your neighbours.

And this is exactly what ‘Cakes with threatening auras’ is here to document. As an “educational” Twitter account, the social media project features all sorts of creations—from the most comical cakes to the downright bizarre ones that will haunt your dreams forever.

These Disney princesses reimagined as HOT DOGS will haunt you in your dreams

For years, Disney fans have been reimagining princesses as humans (with the help of AI) and modern women living in the 21st century. Heck, even celebrities like Taylor Swift and Rihanna have been reconceptualised as Disney characters in the past. Just when the iconic princesses thought they’d seen it all, food magazine Lucky Peach took four hot dogs, four buns and some condiments to assemble the ultimate homage to the characters ever.

“We put our heads together and thought about what kinds of Disney princesses would inspire us the most,” masterminds behind the creation, Anna Hezel and Gabriella Paiella, wrote in a column for the magazine. “And obviously we thought of hot dogs. Disney has never created a princess who was a hot dog—dumb, in our opinion.” Preach!

The princesses who got the ‘weiner treatment’ include Rapunzel, Ariel, Pocahontas and Belle. Before you eagerly scroll past this paragraph to view them, let me also acknowledge the presence of a tutorial. Yes, you can DIY these scrumptious characters from scratch. “For Ariel, slice two small circles from the outer rings of a red onion and secure them to her hot dog bosom with mustard,” the chefs wrote. Apart from onion bikinis, lettuce fins, cheese cleavages and ketchup braids are also in the mix.

“Literally any way you decide to reimagine Disney princesses, it will be inspiring and beautiful,” both Hezel and Paiella concluded. I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty inspired to head into my kitchen after seeing these bizarre creations:
