Anyone who enjoys watching Jesse Pinkman and Walter White making meth and dealing with criminals will enjoy Breaking Bad cakes.
This one, created by Reddit user Hollyicing, is shaped like the destroyed teddy bear Walter found floating face down in his pool, symbolizing the end of his naivete and how he must face his own corruption. The pink icing and fluffy teddy bear almost seem too sweet, but the black charring and missing eyeball give edge to this damaged dessert. A slightly obscure reference, only the true die-hard fans of the show will appreciate this cake, especially if they have a sweet-tooth.
Definitely not for young children, Breaking Bad cakes are gruesomely delicious concoctions that symbolize the pain and destruction inevitably caused by dealing meth.
