Girlfriend, 22, gives lover ‘cocaine birthday cake’ decorated with fake lines of drugs, ecstasy tablets and rolled-up notes
Stacey Morris defended the Victoria sponge as "just a joke" after receiving an online backlash
A GIRLFRIEND'S drug-themed birthday cake has sparked an online storm after pictures of the personalised confectionery were shared on social media.
Stacey Morris, 22, bought the cake for her boyfriend Ollie's 23rd birthday.
The bizarre icing was rendered as incredibly detailed lines of cocaine and crushed ecstasy pills as well as rolled up bank notes.
A picture of the blue cake later went viral on Facebook and has been shared more than 3,000 times in 48 hours.
Stacey wrote alongside the photo: "Ollie's personalised birthday cake. So happy with it."
She was later forced to add the decorated Victoria sponge was "just a joke" after receiving a backlash on the social media site.
Some people joked that the viral photos had "Jeremy Kyle written all over it" - but others failed to see the funny side and said it "went too far".
Stacey, an admin worker from King's Lynn, Norfolk, said: "It has always been a joke between us and all our friends because we watch lots of films and programmes about drugs.
"So when I was having a cake done and I spotted this idea online it was perfect.
"I wanted something different that everyone would remember.

She added: "It was a surprise. We had a few friends around for drinks for his birthday and we brought the cake out at midnight.
"A few people said to him 'you'll be shocked when you see it' and he had no idea it was going to be like that.
"When he saw it he just stood there looking at it. It was really funny."
She added: "I put it on Facebook and it has just gone crazy since then with people commenting and stuff.
"I've had a few negative comments but mostly positive ones and the girl who made the cake has been inundated too."
Stacey ordered the cake from a local home baker and gave it to Ollie - who doesn't want to reveal his full name - on Wednesday.
It was supposed to cost £35 but she got it for free when the maker apparently made a mistake with the filling and refused to accept any payment.
The 'powder' was made from icing sugar and the notes were made of sugar paper.
