A baker has left 'Karen' customers in a rage after making a cocaine cake.
Skye Baillie's 12" x 16" custom creation featured white lines and credit cards and was created at the request of a lucky birthday boy's mum. The dessert expert was taken aback when a woman came into her shop in Adelaide, Australia, and presented a picture of the drug-inspired gateau for staff to copy.
The 36-year-old said she initially "screwed her nose up" at the order but ultimately gave in and created the Charlie-themed bake. A photo of the finished product showed a cake designed to look like a package containing the illicit substance, along with three white lines made of icing sugar.

Baillie also made a bank card and a series of $50 bills from fondant to surround the sweet treat. Emblazoned on the top were the words: "Happy 30th birthday Blake."
Taking to Facebook on December 8, the food pro wrote: "I just make the cakes, I don't ask questions." She had no idea the controversial bake would amass a staggering 180,000 reactions.
Some social media users have celebrated the "awesome" design while others queried why the baker would agree to the request. The cake, which feeds 40-50 people and set the patron back $250AUD (£130), also attracted criticism for "teaching kids" about drugs.

One said: "Loser cake. How can you make this? Teaching kids and must be wondering what all these things are on the cake lol. Some good parents out there. Sad. I bet they paid a lot of money for this and probably need the money for food. Well that's my concerns about this."
Meanwhile another chimed in: "Why would someone want this?" But others were more supportive. One wrote: "Looks like we found our Karen in the crowd."
Baillie added Blake's mum was thrilled with the cake when she picked it up after initially making the order on September 29. The baker also slammed "uptight" critics for not being able to see the humour in the design.
"At the end of the day if a customer wants a custom cake I'm not someone to judge and not make it," she said. "If they're happy to pay for it then I'm happy to take on their order.
"A lady came in and said she needed a cake urgently. She said, 'Don't judge me,' so she already knew it was a controversial cake. My [colleague] took the order and when she showed me the inspiration I screwed my nose up and said I didn't want to make it. She said it would be easy and she'd help me so I agreed.
"It was kind of funny to me. I've had some pretty strange requests over the years so for me it wasn't anything too crazy."
The baker added she initially "held off" posting pictures of the cake to social media as she worried it could be seen as "tacky." "I wondered if people would think we condone it when we don't, but then I just went with it.
"People have loved it more than hated it. I think that people who can't take it as a joke are a bit uptight."
The cake took six hours to finish including two hours to bake.
