Cake and Cunnilingus Day
[keyk n kuhn-l-ing-guh s dey]
What does Cake and Cunnilingus Day mean?
Observed on April 14th, Cake and Cunnilingus Day is an unofficial, internet joke holiday where women are supposed to receive oral sex (cunnilingus) and eat cake—all during the same, decadent day.
It was created in response to another internet joke holiday: the male-centric Steak and Blowjob Day.
Where does Cake and Cunnilingus Day come from?
In 2002, Boston radio host Tom Birdsey felt that Valentine’s Day, outside servicing capitalism, was only for women. So, he declared March 14th, one month after Valentine’s Day, Steak and Blowjob Day for men.
Many women were not pleased—or saw past the troglodytic obsession of men with meat … in more ways than one. So, they answered with Cake and Cunnilingus Day. “Observed” one month after Steak and Blowjob Day on April 14th, Cake and Cunnilingus Day gives women the chance to enjoy their own fleshly delights with a delicious baked good.

In 2006, a post on a blog called Ms. Naughty’s Porn for Women mentioned the holiday as a response to Steak and Blowjob Day. A website for Cake and Cunnilingus Day launched soon after.
Women, feminists, and other sympathizers to the cause helped spread the holiday, if ironically, on the internet. Even popular publications like Metro UK and Bustle have acknowledged the holiday in the early 2010s. Urban Dictionary got it’s first (and only) definition on February 2011; the date isn’t the same as the much more widely accepted April 14th, but the sentiment is the same.
Examples of Cake and Cunnilingus Day
Who uses Cake and Cunnilingus Day?
Cake and Cunnilingus Day has not one, but two websites. One of them, as noted, was founded in 2006 and gives cunnilingus tips and links to adult cunnilingus-based videos. The other, started in 2011, sells male-model merchandise, with some of the proceeds donated to a prostate cancer charity.
Many people post reminders on social media of Cake and Cunnilingus Day—both to women and the people they hope will treat them on the holiday.

There’s also another cunnilingus-centric “holiday.” Chicken and Lickin’ Day is on March 15th, the day after Steak and Blowjob Day, but it appears less popular than its cake counterpart.
