Neil Patrick Harris’ cake featuring Amy Winehouse makes news
The origin of Neil Patrick Harris’ Halloween party cake remains uncertain. However, the photo created a major uproar on the internet when it came to seeing the light.
As per the photo tested by Justin Mikita, it showcases a mangled and decaying edition of Amy Winehouse’s corpse.
It was reported that the cake was displayed on a tray that looked like a gurney. It supposedly came with a note that said, ‘The Corpse of Amy Winehouse.’
The controversial cake depicted the Rehab artist as a corpse. It showed the late musician with decomposing eyes as well as her tongue sticking out of her mouth.
The hyper-realistic cake even showed skin patterns that imitated the decay taking over her body. Furthermore, it also featured an autopsy scar on her chest area possibly to portray the wound Winehouse received after post-mortem.
Netizens react to a resurfaced picture of Neil Patrick Harris’ Amy Winehouse cake
Many fans took to various social media platforms to give their take on Neil Patrick Harris presenting the distasteful corpse cake.
A cake critic reacted to the picture saying, ‘What is wrong with Neil Patrick Harris? That’s so disturbing.’
A Reddit user commented, ‘WOW. This is so wildly inappropriate. My jaw dropped.’
Another user pointed out, ‘Wtf I wasn’t expecting the cake to be that graphic, this is so sick.’
A Twitter user noted, ‘I’m literally nauseous right now after viewing that. So wrong and in poor taste.’
The picture has resurfaced many times throughout the years. Every time the 48-year-old star received tons of hate from his fans and social media users.
Many Twitter users have termed the photo as ‘insensitive’ and ‘distasteful.’
Users were more upset and disgusted that the actor displayed the cake mere months after Amy Winehouse’s death from alcohol poisoning.

I can no longer enjoy a Series of Unfortunate Events on @netflix, and any of his further projects, because I just found out Neil Patrick Harris commissioned a cake of Amy Winehouse's corpse for a Halloween party. Sub human behavior. https://t.co/EVP6at6SlH
