2/6 This is the offending cake. Mrs Green insisted the lines on the teddy bears looked like vaginas. The bakers at Occasion Cakes have refused to give her a refund, arguing she has made a 'bizarre and distasteful connection' about the mark - which they say represents the seam on the toys.

3/6 'I was shocked - I just presumed [the cake] would be okay, and the same as what I ordered', she said. 'It is completely inappropriate. The cake is supposed to be for a three-year-old girl. 'It is not just me who thought this, it was a talking point at the christening - everyone was commenting on it.' When she took it back to the shop, an assistant even gave her some flowers to preserve the teddy's modesty, but Mrs Green said she was not able to stick them down.

5/6 And their response. The owners of Occasion Cakes, which has been in business for the past 30 years, hit back at Mrs Green's complaint - saying the crease is used on both 'boy and girl' teddies to represent where the toy's stitching would have been.
