Vagina Cakes pt. 2

When you google image searches "vagina cakes", you will find pictures from my blog and my friend Jill's on the very first page. I'm pretty sure Jill has mentioned that most of the people who find her blog find it through that picture. I recently looked into which pages people come to my blog from. Sure enough, I get about ten hits a day because people want to see vagina cakes!

So, I made another vagina cake! I made it in honor of my friend Mel coming back to the USA (she's the one who made that awesome toothed-vagina cake last year).


I made a vanilla vegan cake with a little lemon extract. The frosting was colored with juice from beets I'd eaten for dinner the night before (again, my favorite food coloring). I added some toasted coconut for the pubic hair and it was ready to go.


It was pretty delicious. Sometimes I think I could go into the vagina cake making business.

Chocolate Avocado Cake with Avocado Cream Cheese Frosting

So, I'm 24!

It happened a few weeks ago. I ate some really good food and received some really nice presents and one of my very best friends came to visit. I felt like turning fourteen instead of twenty-four, so we made avocado face masks and later fell asleep watching Clueless on the rec room floor.


In addition to the avocado face masks, I decided to put some in my birthday cake. I know this sounds weird, but it's kind of amazing. Recipe inspired by one found here.

The Cake:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 6 Tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup soft avocado, extremely mashed (about 1 medium avocado)
• 2 cups water
• 2 Tablespoons white vinegar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 8-inch rounds and set aside. Sift together all of the dry ingredients in a bowl except the sugar. In a separate bowl, mix the oil, avocado, water, white vinegar and vanilla. Add sugar to the wet mix and stir. Mix the wet with the dry all at once, and beat with a whisk (by hand) until smooth. Pour batter into a greased cake tins. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick passes the test. Let the cakes cool in pans for 15 minutes, then turn out onto cooling racks to cool completely before frosting with the avocado cream cheese frosting.

The Avocado Cream Cheese Frosting:

• 1/4 cup non-hydrogenated margarine, softened
• 1/4 cup vegan cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups confectioners sugar, sifted
• 3 tablespoons very ripe mashed avocado
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice (to prevent the avocado from turning brown)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cream together margarine and cream cheese until just combined. Use a handheld mixer to whip, add the confectioners' sugar in 1/2 cup batches. Mix until smooth, then blend in the avocado, lemon juice, and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.


Cover the cake in frosting and see if anyone can guess what it's made out of.

My sister turned 15 last week. She asked me to make cupcakes for her birthday party, but with a few conditions: they were not allowed to be vegan and they needed to be topped with Twilight Sweetheart Conversation Hearts. I complied.


BUT only under the condition that I was allowed to use juice from beets to dye the frosting. I promised her that her friends would never suspect it. And I was right.

Vagina Cake Contest

In honor of International Women's Day (March 8th), I participated in Bellingham's annual Vagina Cake Contest. I'd been admiring the vagina cakes at IWD for the past couple years, so this year I decided to join in on the fun. And seriously, this is fun. There's nothing like crafting delicious baked goods into vaginas.

I made the best vegan frosting. I found the recipe here. I added color by mixing in a couple teaspoons of beet juice. The color was very vagina-esque, and it did not taste like beets. I'm pretty interested in using juices from real food for food coloring right now. Beats the stuff with Red 40 in it. Speaking of Red 40, did you know that it's been banned in pretty much every country that I would like to live in?


Here are the cunt cakes! I used crasins for the clits, which I think worked pretty well. Although some of the cranclits were half the size of the vulva. Oh well. The nice thing about making vagina cupcakes instead of a vagina cake is that you are able to present the reality that not all vaginas look the same. Some cranclits are bigger than others, and that is OK.


Here's me with the finished product.
