An erotic cake is a cake which, while typically using the ingredients of other dessert cakes, is frosted and sometimes shaped to represent sexual acts and organs. Often sexually related expressions are written on the surface with icing, such as "More than a mouthful" and "Happy 50th - ride 'em hard". The cakes are most often baked and prepared by a retailer who specializes in the style, and are presented to an individual during a festivity limited to adults, such as a bachelor party or a birthday party.
