And finally… great Egyptian bake-off

Egyptian police have arrested a woman who made “indecent” cupcakes with penis-shaped frosting.

Photos of the controversial cakes, some of which had frosting shaped like buttocks and underwear, went viral on social media.

The baker was arrested and later released on bail for around €265 (or £235), the BBC reports.

Egypt’s Dar al-Ifta, a top religious body, said the imagery represented “an assault on the value system and a crude abuse of society”.
