First, there was The Awful Waffle debacle—a half-baked, tragic attempt at food content that made even frozen Eggo waffles look gourmet. And now, brace yourself for Fake Cake Gate, because Meghan Markle has done it again.
This time, she’s blessing the internet with yet another uninspired, out-of-touch Instagram post featuring a naked cake that looks like it time-traveled straight from a 2012 Pinterest board. Because nothing screams cutting-edge entrepreneurship quite like reviving a dessert trend that peaked before TikTok was even a thing.
Meghan proudly shared this culinary masterpiece on her ever-mysterious Instagram page, which, by the way, still lacks any discernible purpose. The caption? “A ber sweet treat indeed.” Ah, yes—words with all the depth of a Hallmark greeting card and the originality of a stock photo. Was “Berry Nice Cake” already taken? Let’s not pretend this is some never-before-seen creation. Martha Stewart perfected this exact style years ago, except with, you know—actual finesse. Meghan’s version resembles a deflated sponge cake, desperately holding itself together under a thin, half-melted layer of frosting. And then there’s the honey drizzle—because, apparently, Meghan can’t post anything without awkwardly pouring something onto it. It’s as if she believes honey is an aesthetic. Someone should remind her that this isn’t a medieval feast.
Her entire social media presence screams, “I want to be a cool, relatable influencer,” yet somehow, it lands somewhere between a 2015 MLM enthusiast and a confused lifestyle blogger who hasn’t realized Pinterest is dead. And the funniest part? The “as ever” brand is still nothing more than an Instagram page—no actual products, no clear mission, just a carefully curated collection of random images that tell us absolutely nothing. Is this a soft launch for something? A passive-aggressive flex? A desperate bid for relevance? Whatever the goal, it’s giving “official disaster” energy.
Let’s be real—does anyone actually believe Meghan baked this cake? Of course not. At best, she drizzled a little glaze on top while a team of professionals stood by to ensure she didn’t burn the house down. This is the same woman who once claimed she wanted to modernize the monarchy, yet she can’t even modernize her Instagram aesthetic. And the best part? No one is actually eating this cake. Just like all her other so-called homemade treats, this one remains mysteriously untouched. We’ll never see Meghan or Harry take a bite, because presentation will always take priority over authenticity.
Naked cakes had their moment a decade ago, and the fact that Meghan is only just now discovering the trend proves, yet again, that she’s always at least ten years behind. She’s a woman desperately trying to channel Martha Stewart but instead serving up expired “mommy blogger” energy. It’s as if she dusted off a “How to Be a Domestic Goddess” manual from 2013 and thought, “Yes, this will make me relevant again.” But let’s be honest—if Martha Stewart made this cake, it would be flawless, not drowning in honey, and certainly not this lopsided. Meghan’s version looks like it was assembled in the dark by someone who has never seen a cake before.
At this point, Meghan Markle’s entire brand is built on imitation—wannabe, but outdated. A would-be lifestyle queen who has yet to produce an original idea. A woman who set out to revolutionize the monarchy but can’t even manage to revolutionize an Instagram post. At this rate, the next logical step is a DIY mason jar craft tutorial, because honestly, that would be the most on-brand thing she’s done so far.
