Gluttonian Blue Fur Cake

About

The traditional Gluttonian Blue Fur Cake is a treat given on the Gluttony forums as a reward or a prize. Eating one of these cakes will probably give you cancer, and should never be eaten, however being offered one is seen as a token of generosity. It is believed that these cakes are capable of eating a fully grown cat. The rare red variant of this cake is said to cause spontaneous combustion when eaten.

Origin

The first known instance of the image appearing on the internet is unknown. It was first posted on the Gluttony Forum on the 1st March 2010 by a member named Adramalech. The thread in which the image was posted was a King of the Hill forum game. Cake had been mentioned earlier in the thread, no doubt influenced by both of the existing The Cake is a Lie and Get the Cake memes. The admin Toneo attempted to trump all previous efforts to become king of the hill. Upon succeding, he requested the aforementioned cake be given to himself. Adramalech then posted an image of the most discusting cake he could possibly find in response.

Without realizing it, Adramalech had just sparked off what would shortly become a community meme.
His original post can be found here.

At the time, the cake had no name. It was just a one off joke. The next day Ben, the owner of Gluttony, discovered this post and replied: "Blue fur cake, my favourite.. <3".

Later that month, on the 23rd, Adramalech once again posted the same image in reply to a thread wishing admin Chaos good luck in his driving test. Cake had once more been mentioned, and once more Adramalech had to outdo all others. This time he referenced Ben's response to the original image, and the name Blue Fur Cake stuck.
The post in question is here.

The cake had been mentioned many times since it's first appearance, being posted at any and every opportunity. On the 11th April, super admin Josh added the code :bluefur: to the forum. When a user types this code into their forum post, it gets replaced by the blue fur cake. This was added due to the recent boom in cake demand, and to eliminate the need to search through old threads to find the image.

The cake was finally considered an actual local meme on the 12th April, when admin Klayking posted the following in a Corrupt a Wish forum game: "I wish for a new meme!".
User id0001 quickly responded: "here it is" and posted the image of the blue fur cake, therefore securing the image's status as a meme within the community.

On the same day Klayking made the post: "Think of it as a birthday present, other than the conventional Gluttonian blue fur cake!". This was posted very shortly after the meme had been made official by id0001. The meme now had a proper name, other than Blue Fur Cake or :bluefur:.

Despite being around since 1st March 2010, the meme finally became official on the 12th April.

Spread

The meme spread like wildfire on the Gluttony forums, and has been recently posted on Meme Generator. Any other spread to external websites is unknown. The image has been rumoured to have been posted on the Facepunch forums, but where is currently not known.
