They are real works of art made from pastry, whipped cream, chocolate and sugar and create wow effects at many birthday parties: themed cakes! A 31-year-old woman in Upper Austria earned extra money for years by baking these works of art. In the black! Until the financial police found out about the actually unemployed woman. Read here how expensive the cake bungling was.

She collected unemployment benefit and unemployment assistance for two years, but also earned money illegally by selling themed cakes - and a lot of it! The illegal confectioner is said to have cashed in 72,000 euros by selling at least 806 cakes and also fueled the sale of additional pieces via social media.
