A WITTY wife decided to bake her husband a batch of punny muffins post-surgery – topping them with celebratory reminders of his operation.
Vikkie Breeze opted to try and make husband Leigh smile after his vasectomy, by baking him the comical sweet treats.
The 37-year-old from Chelmsford, Essex, runs a small baking business and baked the small cakes for the 39-year-old’s return from the hospital.
Images show the twelve muffins inside a box, each decorated with a fondant topping – and some boasting pun-filled messages written in icing.
One of the muffins is adorned with a message which reads: “100% juice, no seeds”.
A second muffin is emblazoned with “Snip Snip Hooray”.
A few of the other baked goods have scissors or medicine, with two cakes in particular showing a man’s testicles with a plaster.
Vikkie shared her baking to Facebook yesterday writing: “When you’re a baker and your husband has the snip, thought these would make some of you chuckle.”
Her post has been liked over 5,000 times and received over 350 comments from amused social media users.
One said: “In a few years you might be making baby cupcakes, my sister got pregnant ten years after her partner had a vasectomy.”
A second user commented: “Awesome! My partner had the snip with his ex, met me eight years later and had his vasectomy reversed in 2016. Now we have two of our own, so it’s my turn to get snipped.”
Another added: “The plaster on the balls, I can’t cope.”
A fourth replied: “100% juice, no seeds actually made me feel a bit sick.”
Speaking today, Vikkie said: “We have three kids, our family is now complete so my husband booked himself in for a vasectomy.
“He was quite concerned so I baked them for him when he came home to make him smile.
“He laughed when he saw them and then he ate seven in one day – the only other thing he’s said is that he’s more concerned by the amount of feedback from people in the post claiming their husband’s vasectomy failed!”
A vasectomy is a surgical procedure to cut or seal the tubes that carry a man’s sperm in order to permanently prevent pregnancy.
There are around 11,500 vasectomies performed in the United Kingdom every year.
The likelihood of getting pregnant after a vasectomy is rare, with various studies estimating that the early failure rate for vasectomies ranges from between 0.3% and 9% of all procedures.
Late failure is even less common, with an estimated failure rate ranging from between 0.04 to 0.08%.
