The dessert is dividing the internet.

A quirky dessert known as “bul-cake” is drawing attention online as Filipinos embrace the unusual creation as both a prank gift and a viral food trend.

The novelty cake is topped with dried black sea moss arranged to resemble pubic hair, creating a visual gag that often catches recipients off guard. Its unconventional appearance has made it a popular subject of social media videos, with reactions ranging from laughter and amusement to shock and disgust.


Believed to have originated in Thailand, the trend has spread across Southeast Asia through TikTok and Facebook, eventually finding an audience in the Philippines.

Videos featuring the novelty cake often show recipients reacting with surprise, laughter, or disbelief upon seeing its unusual design.

Not everyone is impressed, however. While some internet users see the cake as a harmless joke and a creative gift idea, others find the concept off-putting.

“That’s a trend??!!!! 🤢,” one commenter wrote, reflecting the divided opinions surrounding the viral dessert.

As social media continues to fuel demand for unusual and attention-grabbing products, the “bul-cake” has emerged as one of the latest trends to spark conversation, proving that what some find hilarious, others may find difficult to stomach.
