A woman made her GP sister a “hilarious” stool chart cake after spotting the poo scale in her bathroom. Denise Cox, 52, thought it would be “a laugh” to bake the fun cake for her sister Pippa’s 50th birthday.
The Bristol stool scale is used to describe the shapes and types of stools and helps diagnose constipation, diarrhoea and irritable bowel syndrome. Denise made the chocolate cake with her husband, David Monk, 68, a retired civil engineer - topping it with white icing, editable text and decorating the types of poo with chocolate bars.
Pippa - who used to have the stool chart in her toilet - found it “hilarious” and “laughed her head off”. Denise posted the cake on her Facebook page and was shocked by the response with many other doctors and nurses appreciating the cake.
She now hopes it can help raise awareness and stop the “shame” of talking about poo. Denise, owner of Tapestry Cakes, from Watford, Hertfordshire, said: “They used to have the stool chart in the loo - as you do as a doctor.
“It used to make me smile. We made this as a surprise. Both my sister and my brother-in-law are GPs and have worked their socks off, especially the past few years, so deserve nice surprises. I’ve been wanting to do a cake version of the Bristol stool scale for years. I did it for fun - for a giggle for my sister.”
Denise made the cake in June 2023 using an edible print to create the chart. She decorated using Maltesers, a Lion bar, a Boost, a Ripple, chocolate raisins, a Flake and chocolate sauce.
Denise said the cake went down a treat with her sister. She said: “She took a sneak peek and came out laughing her head off. So many people use the stool chart. I hope more people talk about this better.”

SAG-AFTRA leaders painted a sunny picture of their ongoing negotiations in a video released over the weekend, saying the talks have been “extremely productive” and promising to reach a “seminal deal.” But according to multiple sources with knowledge of the dynamic in the negotiating room, the sides remain far apart on a range of key issues. With just a few days left before SAG-AFTRA’s current contract expires on Friday, some are privately predicting that talks will be extended beyond the June 30 deadline, though such a move has not formally been broached in the negotiating room with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic It’s difficult to know whether Lainey Wilson would be as big a star as she’s recently become in the field of country music without the visibility boost she’s received from “Yellowstone.” The series began featuring her songs in season 2, a few years before Lainey was cast for a recurring role as a musician in season 5. The most likely answer: She’d probably be almost as big, even without the Taylor Sheridan factor. After all, it’s not a TV show that came up with the combination of country-rock singing chops, irresistible Louisiana accent and gosh-dang gung-ho that have captivated listeners to the point that, in short succession, she’s racked up four No. 1 Mediabase radio singles and been one of the leading winners at the CMA and ACM awards shows.
