If you follow the path of a "normal" wedding, you probably have fond memories of selecting and eventually eating your wedding cake. But one Floridian baker, Larry Bach, has found a new niche market — the divorce cake.

It started when a woman entered his store and asked him if he remembered her. He didn't, but he guessed that he must have made her wedding cake. She confirmed, quipping "it was the best part of my marriage". After the break up, she decided to invite her bridesmaids to join her in a divorce party, complete with cake. So Larry baked her a wedding cake, built upside down with the smallest layer at the bottom and largest layer at the top. As the piece de resistance, he added a tiny little groom pinned underneath the cake.

While he would prefer if he never had to bake a divorce cake again, Larry things a divorce cake is a good idea. "I think it's a healthy thing. You have to go with the end of something bad and the beginning of something good. That's probably cause for celebration." There may be a fine line between healthy and cynical, but anything that can help you laugh and enjoy time with your friends in the midst of one of life's hardships can't be all bad.
