Cakes of course, are traditionally presented at happy occasions such as birthdays, weddings and christenings.

There's nothing better than enjoying a slice (or two!) to help mark a big event.

But some people have also found that giving someone a cake is a new way of breaking bad news.

Whether it's a divorce or maybe even getting fired, these cakes were made to help soften the blow.

Because hey, you may not have a partner or a job, but cake will always be there for you!
