Did someone mention childbirthing in England? The Royal College of Midwives sponsored a Great Midwifery Cake-off to celebrate the International Day of Midwifery, which was in May sometime.
Adrian Searle's marzipan cake topper is hilarious in that, "Why did I expect modern depiction of a dad's involvement in childbirth might be expressed in a cake decorating contest for the most highly gendered occupation in history?" way.
That the highly naturalistic [but waxed] crowning cake and the super-shiny-veiny placenta cake didn't win tells you all you need to know about the state of the British midwifery industry. Positively Dickensian all up in there.
