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:
- Props to whomever got that pattern into the cake, that couldn’t have been easy. Imagine: There’s a toroidal swastika in that cake.
- That’s one ugly-ass cake for having spent so much time on it.
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.
Yeah, the slice is upside down.
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.
Practice, I assume.
That’s not a Nazi swastika, for the record.
Why?
A Nazi swastika is tilted at 45°, and points to the right (though the one in this cake could point either direction depending on which side you’re looking at).
A swastika in this style is a religious symbol used in many eastern faiths and belief systems, including Buddhism.
The Nazi flag used a 45° rotated swastiska. However horizontal swastikas were also commonly used by the Nazis.
