I run a bakery and helped a lady with a cake for her husband. She was constantly asking me if these were masculine enough colors and designs lol. I tricked them with trans pride colors. Worrying about your masculinity is one of the least masculine things you can do.

Well, hopefully you didn't get her beaten by an abusive spouse.

I have never eaten a cake that had "masculine features and designs"

How about a cake in the shape of a bicep, kind of like this flyer?
