How is the content and message of this cake offensive? Do mean Hong Kong’s fight for freedom and democracy is offensive? Do you mean the freedom of expression is offensive? Do you mean the mask from the film V for Vendetta, depicting an Orwellian UK, is offensive? Please explain. pic.twitter.com/RJsVX7yLPP

Diverse opinion that might anger China not allowed.
Via Daily Wire:
The West’s problematic relationship with the communist nation of China exhibited its toxicity once again when a British banking show disqualified a Hong Kong-themed cake after it angered certain organizers.
According to Vice, an international cake show for the United Kingdom’s “The Great British Bake Off” ignited controversy last week when an exhibitor featured a cake that members of the “globalist” community would consider inappropriate.
“The dessert was presented at Cake International, the ‘world’s greatest cake show,’ and featured decorations like a tiny protester with a yellow umbrella and a large Guy Fawkes mask,” reported the outlet. “It also had a pretend record player and vinyl record designed with a bauhinia, the flower featured on Hong Kong’s flag. A video by its creator, Hong Kong bakeshop 3rd Space, shows the record revolving while the protest song ‘Glory to Hong Kong’ plays. Liquid nitrogen also swirled from behind the umbrellas to look like tear gas.”
