LOL... touchy subject. I haven't ever done one but I have heard of people having divorce parties when they are final. Who's it for, the man or the women? If someone is ordering for them find out how the person feels about the divorce. If it's one of them ordering then they are fine with it, have fun. Good Luck

how about if you do a mini wedding cake with the bride pushing the groom off the cake.

How about a woman breaking out of "marital jail" Free at Last could be the theme...or cutting through the ball and chain or something like that. If you knew her well, you could do a lingerie cake...better start buying new underwear or something equally tacky. icon_biggrin.gif

Have you heard of the lady who makes coffins for the wedding rings and buries them in ceremonies?
It's called "The death of a marriage" and she even makes a coffin cake for the occasion!

She is making a mint off these tiny coffin boxes!!! icon_eek.gif

Maybe a heart that is cracked and write on it:

Better to have loved and lost....than to be stuck with an a$$hole.

I've only done one.. The husband was always going around saying that the soon to be "Ex" is such a witch. (very bad bitter divorce). So his friends threw a divorce party when it was finally over. I did the cake as a house with the feet of the wicked witch coming out from underneath.. as in the wizard of oz. There was also a small sheet cake that had the inscription, of course, " Ding Dong the Witch is Dead".

I was going to post the same picture as cocorum21! Great minds think alike! I like that one better than the others just because there's no blood or killing involved. It's cute and since your customer is a woman, it's perfect that the ex ends up camping. She has lots of cute little details on that one.

Here's also a cute little Maxine quip that came to mind with the subject of divorce.

Who is requesting this - the ex-wife or ex-husband?

We had an hysterical link on this subject a while ago. The customer was an ex-wife. My suggestion was to bake a cake that either looks like a trash can or model a small trash can. Either way, male legs should be sticking out of the top. The caption should read "Good Riddance To Bad Rubbish."

The Maxine cartoon would make a hilarious cake!!
Couldn't you see it in 3D with her holding a picket sign with her saying on it....
"If at first you don't succeed, you probably had a man's help!!"
I would go even a step further and write their names on the sign...for example...
" If at first you didn't succeed Jane, you no doubt had Bob's help!"

Second thought -

If I remember correctly, someone suggested that if the customer was a guy, to use the ball pan to make a ball and chain cake, with the chain being broken. I think the message was "Free, At Last!"

LOL! Well, Christi, it's still a doctor, just a different kind. Change is nice once in a while. Don't worry, Lucy is tucked safely away for after the holidays.

You won't miss her for long - soon I will be starting the Halloween and Christmas Peanuts slide shows again.

Ive done two. One for the guy where it was in the shape of a large piece of cake covered in fondant and decorated as such. On top it said "bi*ch even got half my cake"
Cake for the woman was a corsette cake and caption was "No one wants to be in there prime when they're married"

My husband's uncle was requesting a cake for when his divorce was final... he kept saying he wanted it to be ALL black with red writing... I never got to make it for him though, he ended up having a blood clot and has been in the hospital since (about 8 months now)... I feel so bad for him, once he gets out and can actually eat again, I'm going to make him an AWESOME cake icon_smile.gif

I remember when I FINANLLY got the news that my divorce was final I was VERY happy!! and I did feel "free at last". I like the idea of breaking the ball and chain.... icon_lol.gif I remember my first weekend alone, I ordered Chinese food in my maiden name(YAY) and got a video *I* wanted and had a party by myself!!
I would guess since they are asking for a divorce cake, they are glad to be rid of the ex-spouse. Any of these ideas everyone mentioned are great!!

I have never considered a divorce cake but I did see a car recently that someone had written on the back (just like they do when someone gets married" "Just Divorced!". Cute idea...maybe you could do a 3D car with that message and a few tin cans (fondant) tied to the bumper!
