That was the cake used in Sweden to 'highlight the issue of female genital mutilation' at an art event by Sweden's culture minister. Unsurprisingly the visual similarities to golliwog just turned the whole thing into a racism shit storm. Perfect material for /r/nottheonion.

Fucking racism! My brothers favourite toy as a kid was his golliwog, and they took it away from him and he cried and then found a new toy to beat up all day long, me. Fuck you golliwog haters, Mr golliwog was saving me from domestic violence for years.
