Revenge is a dish best served hot.
A Louisiana baker helped a client stick it to a philandering beau by setting fire to his cake, detailing the crisco inferno in a viral Instagram video.
“Hey, coworkers, my client found her boyfriend had cheated on her the same day she was supposed to come pick up this big-ass cake for him,” recalled Julie Fradella, a baker and business coach based near New Orleans, in the clip.
The philanderer, named Jonathan, had reportedly ordered a giant $600 almond cake — a popular Louisiana flavor — that was meant to feed 75 people, Today reported. While the cheater designed it, the client footed the bill, so Fradella reportedly did what she asked.
That meant cooking up a way to exact revenge on her flame over his infidelity. “She didn’t go into details on how she found out that he cheated; she was just like, ‘He cheated, and he’s really worried about this cake, but he’s not getting this cake,’” said Fradella.
The unnamed customer initially offered the baker $100 extra to record herself smashing the plush pastry, but the muffin maven had an idea that would let her have her cake and heat it too.
“I told her, b—h, we gonna do one better,” declared Fradella on camera.
The clip then cuts to a shot of the ace of cakes addressing the cheater with the cake in the background. “Jonathan, it’s Julie with The Sweet Hustle. Just want to wish you a happy birthday,” she said. “Had so much fun making this cake for your party tonight. It’s just one thing. Cheaters, Jonathan, we don’t like cheaters.”
As if on cue, the confection bursts into flames in the background, bubbling and blackening like a miniature house of wax.
The clip concludes with lettering reading “BOSSHOG” and “Jonathan” melting into the table, seemingly symbolizing that their relationship had gone up in smoke.
“Baby, I thought I was Angela Bassett, b—h,” Fradella declared. “If I could have filmed a walk-off with the cake exploding, that would have been every f—king-thing I needed. Moral of the story: Stop playing with people, OK?”
This cake flambé stunt set Instagram alight with many praising the ride-or-die baker for her ingenuity.
“Never seen a cake on fire before……. Now I can check that off the list,” gushed one fan. “That was oddly satisfying. Set off more.”
Another wrote, “1… You are my hero. 2… I didn’t know cakes can burn!”
“This tickled the hell out of me,” said a third.
