Egyptian security services have arrested a chef who made cakes in the shape of male and female private parts for a birthday party at Al-Jazirah Club.
The news has sparked controversy in the state-run press, who have quoted other members of the club complaining that the people who participated in the party, and the organiser, should be investigated.
One source in the security forces said that it was incitement to immorality.
Cairo: Sexual-themed cupcakes, served at a top Egyptian club, have triggered an outcry in the conservative country, prompting police to arrest a pastry chef. Photos of a group of women at a birthday party held in the club went viral online showing the celebrants with cupcakes taking the shape of genitalia.
The event provoked a big controversy on social and mainstream media that said the party had been held in the high-class Al Jazirah Club in Cairo. A trending hashtag titled in Arabic “Al Jazirah Club” has done the rounds. Many commentators condemned the act as immoral and socially unacceptable. “It’s unacceptable socially and there are 100 ways to celebrate… No sense or respect to their age and our traditions!” tweeted one man named Mohamed Rashad.
