Egypt: ‘Sexual cupcakes’ cause stir

Meanwhile, MP Khalid Abdul Mula demanded that Minister of Youth and Sports be summed to the legislature to be questioned over the incident. The lawmaker called for an immediate investigation into the event to determine if it had been held with the club board knowing. 

Some people, however, downplayed the incident. “I kinda wonder if they will ever arrest a man for slut-shaming other women on social media or they gonna be free forever just because they were talking in private? Bcs as far as i know this was a private party as well,” a person named Shulim tweeted in English.

The pastry chef, who made the controversial cakes, was briefly arrested and released on a bail of 5,000 Egyptian pounds (Dh1,173) on charges of making a sexually suggestive product, legal sources said. The chef said in interrogation that she had shaped the cakes that way upon a request from the party-goers, the sources added.
