Remember pimple cupcakes? Well, Malaysian bakery The Cakescape has decided to take this trend even further and has created a recipe for pimple-popping cakes that will either increase your appetite or kill it completely.
The blood-red zits can be squeezed, uncovering the cakes’ delicious pale inside, and it looks so familiar, flashbacks of me staring at the mirror are screaming back at me. (Un)surprisingly, these gross-looking cakes are starting to catch on. The bakery claims it has sold over 20 of these weird-looking delicious lumps so far, and one of its videos has already accumulated over 5M views on Facebook. Not to mention countless publishers that are introducing it to their readers.
Some explain this weird public interest as follows: “Our fascination with watching the pus explosions of others seems to be due to a combination of neural dopamine and tension release, the lure of the forbidden, cultural ideas of disgust, and socially evolved concepts of grooming and intimacy.” What about you? Are you feeling strangely satisfied when looking at these sweet pimples being popped or did puberty give you too many of them already? Let us know in the comments!

Here’s what people had to say about the cake:
Would you want one for your birthday? Comment below!
Oh, come on. It's not even so realistic. Sure, it might look a bit gross on camera, but I'm sure once you cut a slice and smell the sweetness, you don't even see those pimples anymore. ♥
Tasteless, but the right person will get the joke. And it's not as bad as the "kitty litter cake" my sister made, complete with melted, reshaped tootsie rolls.
Just trying to imagine how the conversation would have gone: "I've got a great idea for a cool cake" "Awesome, is is impressive and difficult to make?" "Yes!" "Fantastic, and who will be buying it?" "Crazy people and people who really hate other people" "..."
People need to get their heads out of their asses and while up there look for a sense of humour. It's funny. Goofy. Lighted hearted.
I'm sorry but I really want to have a go squeezing them cake pimples. Looks satisfying lol!
This hit me hard... My name is Evelyn, and I can relate to this from my teenage years... :'(
I am a nurse, and love popping gross things, but I don't think I could eat that. And that is saying something as I have a strong stomach.
WHYYYYYYY? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?! Don't get me wrong, I like a pimple popping videos as much as the next guy, but nooo!!!
This "trend" for foodies is disgusting & reprehensible. As a sufferer of severe cystic acne I can tell you there is nothing clever or cute about zits. And certainly nothing I would want to think about while I ate! Nasty & inconsiderate cake maker!
ah.. all the people, nations and mentalities are different. But in some cases people just need to let know another people or ask if they basically want to see or LEARN about something
this is disgusting. just the IDEA of popping nasty pimples turns my stomach. more cake for everyone else i guess. I will just be over here barfing.
I could see this being made as a congratulation sort of thing for someone who just finished school to become a dermatologist or something. Also, even if the idea is kind of gross, the same effects that went into making this cake could maybe be used for something a little less... Pimple-tastic. If the filling were different colors and this was set against a brown or green backdrop, you could argue it's a sort of blooming flower cake.
