A Texas bakery, Hive Bakery, created a stunning cake paying homage to The Handmaid’s Tale. The cake is already getting a lot of comments from fans who absolutely love the work of art.
The Cake Features June, Along With Images From the Series
The gorgeous (but also slightly disturbing) cake features June at the top, along with a severed finger that was painstakingly made to look as realistic as possible. The cake is adorned with several nooses, a cross, and muffins and scones.
Here’s a picture of the cake below, as shared on Reddit.
Just in case the photo is taken down for any reason, here’s the photo shared on Hive Bakery’s official Instagram account.

The muffins and scones seen on the cake are a reference to a previous season, when they were used as a secret mode of communication. Muffins meant “yes” and scones meant “no.” June uses that mode of communication to help her get children in Gilead on a plane to safety in Canada.
When sharing the photo, Hive Bakery wrote on Instagram, “We were so busy this morning we forgot to post!!! We re-baked and have some more goodies now!
We were thrilled to design this Handmaids Tale cake, given the state of our country, currently. ‘Don’t let the bastards grind you down!'”
On Instagram, sparklingdivinexoxo replied, “Oh my gosh the finger!! Looks so real!! Love it!!🤩”
On Reddit, Rrroxy shared that she’s been decorating cakes for 16 years.

According to a post shared by Hulu’s official social media account, The Handmaid’s Tale will return for Season 5 on Wednesday, September 14. It will air on Hulu. This year, we’ll get two episodes dropped on September 14. After that, we’ll get one episode every week.
According to EW, the Season 5 synopsis reads as follows: “June faces consequences for killing Commander Waterford while struggling to redefine her identity and purpose. The widowed Serena attempts to raise her profile in Toronto as Gilead’s influence creeps into Canada. Commander Lawrence works with Aunt Lydia as he tries to reform Gilead and rise in power. June, Luke and Moira fight Gilead from a distance as they continue their mission to save and reunite with Hannah.”

Handmaid’s Tale is more damaging to women’s minds than the media could EVER wish video games could ever possibly be to men. HT is based on ISLAMIC sharia law and uses a story from Judaism. Funny how all these women cosplaying in ‘pseudo-hijabs’ aren’t being called Islamophobic or Anti-semetic.
