The end of a marriage can be sad and painful, but the archetype of the jilted lover crying into their drink is a thing of the past.

Creative, intricate and oftentimes side-splittingly hilarious, divorce cakes take every divorce cliché under the sun and cover it in colourful fondant. (Or in the case of Khloé Kardashian, replicate a driver’s licence with a glaring change — a return to a maiden name.)

Any way you slice it, getting a divorce isn’t a pleasant affair, but a delightful (and maybe even cathartic) cake just might help make it a positive change.
