Sweet Jesus: Christ On A Cake, or 18 Ways of Baking With Jesus

By Gendy Alimurung Fri., Jan. 7 2011 at 10:00 AM

We eat his body, drink his blood, and lick his sweet, creamy vanilla frosting. Here are 18 depictions of Christ on a cake. Not as damnable as the Star Wars nativity scenes, but pretty close. Sacrilicious!

18. The 7 Layers of Hell Cake

Usually, strippers bust out of cakes, but why shouldn't God? Via the blog of an Episcopal priest who is also a "baseball fan, obituary watcher, reader and procrastinator."

17. Happy 2010th-ish Birthday Jesus Cake

Says the baker, Stephanie Burke, "I don't bake more than twice a year, but when I do, I feel like it counts."

16. Lamb Of God Cake

Hmm...not sure I like the way Shepherd Jesus is looking at that lamb. Or is that a cat? Via Margaret's Workshop.

15. Crown of Thorns Cake

Nice job on the detailed thorns, but how about we work on the baby a bit? Via Christian Nightmares. Just tell me it's chocolate.

14. Sweet Jesus, It's Your Birthday Concept Cake

This one's still in the planning stage. Looks photoshopped. Via Dr. Jim's Thinking Shop.

13. M&M's For God's Colorblindness Cake

Reminiscent of those tests for colorblindness. Not a problem. Jesus loves everyone, the sick and the hale. Via Josh Chelsea Hudson's blog.

@TheLateIxo - An excellent comment. You get at the heart of what I liked about this post. At what point is a cake baked in the image of Jesus a mockery of god, and at what point is it a celebration of god? If you notice, the bakers of the Jesus cakes are not all anti-Jesus in their religious leanings. Yes, some of the people who baked the cakes claim to hate Christianity and want to mock it. But others are Christians through and through.

Imagine that the cake decorations took the same kind of sensitive, insightful look at other cultural icons. They could portray women who fought for equal rights as ugly, humorless man-haters ... or show black professionals as stumblebum incompetents who got jobs through affirmative action ... or depict gay couples as Destroyers of the Social Fabric. Ha-ha-ha! Wait, here's the one I should have put first: how about a hip and humorous LA Weekly story picturing Islam as foolish, arrogant, and dangerous? ("Uh, let's have Pedro open the mail this week.")

If those stories are inconceivable to the Weekly staff -- as they should be -- at the same time that it's funny to disparage Christians and their beliefs, then you're not just a goofy "alternative" rag, you're bigots in the mainstream of goof. So, you've got to ask yourself one question: are you bigots? Well, R U, punks?
