Sweden's minister of culture Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth Cut Into a Cake Of an African Woman on April 15, 2012. Here is the African Cake Video

Here's a big bowl of WTF: Sweden's minister of culture Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth attended a party where she cut into a cake depicting a nude African woman.

During a taxpayer-funded World Art Day party on April 15th, 2012, organizers displayed a large cake depicting a stereotypical image of an African woman.

When people attending the party cut into the cake, a scream could be heard.

Creator Makode Linde says the African cake had a purpose besides creeping everyone out:

As part of the installation, which was reportedly meant to highlight the issue of female circumcision, the culture minister began cutting a large cake shaped like a black woman, symbolically starting at the clitoris.

In addition to creepy, some considered the African cake racist.
