The grocery store chain Publix is facing mass outrage this week after they began selling Hurricane Dorian-themed cakes as the state prepares to be battered by the monster storm.

The controversial chocolate chip cookie cake, which is being sold for $10.99, is topped with icing made to look like a radar map. The cake also shows the eye of the storm hurtling towards the Florida coastline.

Photos of the cake went viral after they were posted online by shopper Jessica Sullivan, who had spotted it on the shelves at a Publix in Julington Village.

“Publix has all your hurricane party supplies,” she wrote alongside a photo of a cake with blue frosting resembling the waters around Florida, which had green icing made to look like the state.

Many have said that the cake is in poor taste given the seriousness of Hurricane Dorian, which has been classified as an “extremely dangerous” Category 4 hurricane.

“Your ‘Hurricane’ Cookies are in extremely poor taste and very insensitive,” one social media user commented, with another adding, “I second this! #Publix needs to stop that tradition. It’s distasteful and isn’t funny!”

The backlash grew to be so great that Publix finally responded in a statement.

“Thank you for your feedback on the cakes,” the grocery store said. “It is never our goal to offend anyone with the products we offer and I apologize that we let you down. Individual locations did make some of the hurricane cakes you’ve seen and I will personally share your feedback on this cake.”

However, this apology was not enough for some.

“I lost practically everything to Hurricane Andrew [in 1992]. I do not take it lightly and it’s serious to me. PTSD is real,” one woman wrote. “Everyone knows Public is not going to stop making these just from one complaint, but I felt I had to let them know that some may find them unclassy and insensitive.”
