A bakery has claimed that it has received both orders and death threats after "sending" Amber Heard a cake resembling Johnny Depp's severed finger.

Depp's injured digit is one of the headline-hitting subjects that has been discussed amid the former couple's ongoing defamation trial.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star is suing 36-year-old Heard for $50 million after the Aquaman star referred to herself as a "public figure representing domestic abuse" in a 2018 op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post. Depp has repeatedly denied the allegations that he was physically violent toward his ex-wife.

Heard is countersuing for $100 million - claiming she was only ever violent against Depp, 50, in self-defense or defense of her younger sister, per NBC News.

During the trial, Depp claimed that his ex-wife severed the top of his right middle finger by throwing a glass vodka bottle at him during a heated exchange in Australia back in 2015.

According to court documents filed by Heard's legal team, Depp allegedly injured his own finger off when he slammed "a hard plastic phone against the wall", per Insider.

Nevertheless, fans have been taking sides and debating who they believe is telling the truth.

Now, a bakery has revealed the fallout it has received after "sending" a cake to Heard depicting Depp's finger.

In a now-viral TikTok, Australian baking company Dessert Boxes shared a video of the unique cake - complete with detachable finger and a mini vodka bottle.

Check it out below:

"We're sending Amber Heard a dessert box," an employee says in the video. "We cut off the finger with a vodka bottle - throw that in for her too - and we'll send Johnny Depp this piece [the finger]."

The post's caption asks: "Will she like it?"

After receiving more than 570,000 views, the response to the video has been... mixed.

There were those who found the video funny:
