sweet separation

Now, parting can literally be sweet sorrow -- thanks to one Florida bakery's decision to sell divorce cakes.

This article explains the concept: "the divorce cakes taste the same as wedding cakes, but the miniature scenes depicted atop the dessert show moments of marital strife rather than wedded bliss."

Owners say they're not making light of divorce...they're just helping people find closure.

Hmm. I'm not entirely convinced that amid screaming at the top of their lungs and fighting bitterly over shared possessions, couples are going to take a break to eat cake.

Then again, maybe it's not a bad idea after all.

Maybe the entire breakup process would be a little easier if, even amid their bitterness, both parties vowed to pause and celebrate the good times they had.

Yeah, right.
