PHOTOS — End of ‘Hurricakes’: Publix No Longer Selling Hurricane-Themed Cakes to Be More Sensitive

The weather-themed cakes debuted several years ago, and some were designed with the phrases “Go Away” and “Leave Florida Alone” on them.

One image shows a cookie cake with icing in the shape of Florida as a hurricane approaches from the east.

“Wait @Publix is no longer going to make hurricane cakes???? This is outrageous!!!!!” the caption reads:

Social media users voiced their displeasure about the decision, and one person wrote, “Party poopers.”

In a post on August 30, 2019, a social media user named Kate Wagner shared her story of going to Publix and trying to find a Dorian Hurricane cookie cake.

The baker told her the store had received complaints about such cakes, adding, “They had been pulled from all bakery displays.”

However, the baker apparently then retrieved one of the cakes for her from the back of the store:

“Please don’t mess with people’s cookie cakes especially under imminent threat of a natural disaster. If anyone out there wants a Dorian Hurricane Cookie cake from the Publix bakery, the dealer is behind the counter,” Wagner wrote.

When hurricane season ended on November 30, 2022, millions of Americans were able to breathe a sigh of relief after enduring uncertainty when it came to such weather systems hitting their areas, Breitbart News reported at the time:

The conclusion of hurricane season follows Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) dealing with an active late season in the Sunshine State, which put his administration to the test right before the midterm elections as he faced off against Democrat Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL):

Hurricane Ian, a strong Category 4 storm, battered the state’s west coast, severely damaging infrastructure and knocking out power for millions of Floridians. Yet, Florida had tens of thousands of linemen ready, and power was restored to 99 percent, other than some of the LCEC [Lee County Electric Cooperative] pockets, in mere days.
