A man in China has reportedly threatened to leave his wife after she baked him cake for every meal.

Beijing resident Cheng Yu, 31, said that he was initially happy to be given the deserts but now feels sick at the mention of the word "cake", Metro reports.

He claimed that he will divorce his 27-year-old wife Tian Mae if she does not stop baking.

Cheng said: "Egg cake, fruit cake, chocolate cake. I felt like a bakery dustbin."
