I’ve made and sold a lot of beautiful cakes over the years.
But this one was just for me.
The boxed cake mix and canned chocolate frosting that reminds me of my childhood. Split into layers and filled with non-dairy ice cream.
This is one of the most joyful moments in my life, and this cake is exactly what I was craving. I cannot wait for it to be completely chilled so I can cut myself a slice!

Omg that sounds like the best celebration cake! 🎉
Woo hoo! Welcome to the club 🎉🎉🎉
Create a secret menu of menopause and hysterectomy party cakes. We all should get a cake. 🚫🩸🥳
Yes! This is what im gonna do too. I have PCOS so ive been having perimennapausal symptoms for my entire womanhood so im ready lmao.
This is so joyful and perfect. You deserve every single sprinkle. 🎉”
hooray to no more periods!!
Congrats!! Enjoy your delish looking treat!!
An excuse for cake AND no more periods? Honestly winning 😂🎂💖 congrats girl!
I felt the same when menopause hit! Love the cake! 🥳
One of the most joyful moments… and it shows. That cake is radiating happiness. Enjoy every bite!
Enjoy:)! I’m JEALOUS:)! I’m with you I bake really good from scratch homemade cake and buttercream but sometimes nothing beats this stuff!!! Reminds me of my childhood too!
Hahahah! Jealous. Welcome to r/Menopause. Hope to join you soon.
As someone just entering that journey just want to say congrats I am so happy for you and not at all jealous.
Oh I’m inspired. Not anywhere near ready yet (sob) but inspired.
So you have no monthly torment and you DO have chocolate cake. How could things get any better!? 🥳👏🏼🥳
I celebrated by throwing away all my period panties and buying new pretty ones.
Well deserved ! And great idea. Def gonna get a menopause cake when its my turn!
Freedom!!!!!!
This is beautiful in every way. Simple, sentimental, and celebratory. Happy freedom indeed 🎂
Congratulations!!
I’m in the thros of peri.
Please tell me the other side is better!!
Lucky!! 🍀
Been trying to pause men myself, but to no avail 🥀
I thought I was there, but I got a period last month and a mini one this month, dammit.
This is so cute and wholesome. I’ve been feeling weird about the thought of reaching menopause years (almost 40 ) and a cake somehow reframes it really well
hell yeah sister
So happy for you!! 🥳 🎉
One of the best days of my life. So much to no longer have to deal with or worry about.
Congratulations!!!! I agree with you, sometimes I get a craving for that canned chocolate frosting and nothing else will do. Ironically that’s typically when I’m on my period
Oooh I should’ve done this after my hysterectomy. Welcome to the best club in the world!
No better reason for cake and ice cream.
Enjoy the freedom! It’s the best.

I’m 51 and can’t wait.
Congratulations!! No more periods and mood swings! You’re just a playground now honey, enjoy!
Congratulations 🍾, however, You are going to need more chocolate!
I’m so jealous AND I love this for you!!
Been there, done that for 20 years. Didn’t get HRT (old studies, bad science=bad medical advice). Now I wish I could bleed until I die, because the big M has been such a devastation to my health. I’m jealous of women entering menopause now because science has finally caught up with the need for HRT as being protective of women’s health as we age.
Congratulations OP!
I looooove being post menopause. The freedom after decades of monthly misery. No longer being ruled by my hormones. The clarity and I don’t give a fuck attitude.
My dude hated it. I just had absolutely no desire and if I never see a dick again I’ll be perfectly happy. It’s like being the person I was when I was a kid before I started having periods. Just myself.
(Sorry if that’s kinda graphic….)
Congratulations! Next weekend is my birthday AND it also marks one year since my last period. Double celebrating for me!
this is so wholesome 😭 i did something similar once where i made a super simple cake just for myself and it weirdly felt more special than any “fancy” one… like it hits different when it’s just for you
Congrats! I’m still in peri with what seems like no end in sight.
I had a total hysterectomy in my early 40’s, threw a lunch party for a bunch of my girlfriends while I was home recovering and gave gift bags filled with my stash of pads & tampons🤣🤣🤣. They loved it – it saved them all a bunch of money
