The Publix Hurricane Cake Curse

In August 2023, Publix decided to discontinue its controversial hurricane cakes, which were as colorful as they were divisive. Shaped like storm radars and adorned with swirling blue, green, red, and white frosting to represent varying storm intensities, these cakes became a beloved staple at many hurricane gatherings. Some even featured cheeky messages like “Leave Florida Alone” or “Go Away,” offering a light-hearted way to express our frustration with impending storms.

Since taking the cakes away, hurricanes have been devastating! Will the cake keep bad weather away? Not sure but it’s worth a try! Bring em back!
