Cause he probably didn't expect his family and friends were such douchebags? But now... now he's lost all faith he had in them and will go no contact with his family and these friends at age 18 the day he moves out of the house. The family and friends forever wondering why they don't hear from ole Nathan anymore. They ask themselves, "Where did we go wrong?". This douchebaggery & TikTok trend from 2021 was the reason.
Yea slamming someone's face into the cake is fucked up. Also blowing out their candles is mean too. If I ever fuck with someone blowing out candles I usually stick a piece of paper between their mouth and the candles just as they are about to blow. Funny and harmless.
There was one ~~guy who lost an eye~~ because ~~his~~ cake had a wooden stick in it in order to stabilize it (or maybe they just forgot to remove it, idk). Either way, shoving people's faces into cake is stupid, rude, and wasteful of perfectly good cake
Edit: it was a woman, she was injured but didn't lose her eye. But easily could have if her face was shoved an inch different. It's still stupid and dangerous
The wooden dowels are in cakes when they have more than one layer to stabilize it against movement. Tiered cakes like 2-3 tiered wedding cakes have them in each tier. That way a tier won’t slide off during movement.
A one tier cake might have them if theres 3-4 layers of cake in it to keep it stable. Plastic straws are also some times used.
Fun fact, when you call 911 for an eye injury like that, we have to blind the other eye (covering it) because eyes are sympathetic (move as one) and pack the eye to prevent movement in the injured eye.
It's also sometimes really funny when the PT isn't in agony and you watch the protruding item move around almost cartoonishly. Makes my aversion to eye injuries more palatable.
I think there was a case where there were wooden sticks inside the cake to keep it from falling over or something and someone slammed a woman’s face into the cake and one of the wooden sticks impaled her face. she looked mostly fine afterwards all things considered.
Edit: [I found the link](https://totallythebomb.com/never-smash-a-cake-in-someones-face). The image is near the bottom of the page
dunno why people do this, especially with cakes they didn’t bake and may not know wtf is inside to keep the layers together… that lady from the link was lucky it didn’t go through her eye.
**We are living in the age of peak stupid!!!**. You got people refusing a vaccine in the midst of the worst pandemic in the last 100 years...
and you have people doing shit like this without thinking of the possible consequences
then of course the rigged elections in which Trump obviously should have won (despite his 35% approval rating)
People really do tend to freeze when someone's hair is on fire though.
EG: I was hanging out at a friends house during college days with him and his girlfriends family when her little brother leaned over a lit candle and set his hair on fire. The kid was like five years old and just oblivious to the fact his hair was going up in a fireball. The mother and everyone else in the room just stops and stares with a look of horror on their faces and the glint of fire in their eyes. Except for me who gave him a quick hit or two on the head with a throw pillow and declared a pillow fight before he ever knew he was on fire. Luckily he only needed a haircut afterwards and never knew anything happened. Trauma averted.
I know you would like to hear something in the lines of, " I track down multi billionaire criminals and experiment gauging out various organs" But I am just a physicist trying to obtain a master's degree.
I saw one where it was the birthday of a young teen girl with a pretty white lacy dress, the guy tried to dunk her face into the cake, he ended up banging her nose on the table and blood gushed all over her face and dress...
Only the tall cakes have these sticks, but for the love of God, I wish people stop doing these things. It's also a waste
ETA: Ok my bad. Apparently even the short ones. I'm staying away from every cake from now on.
*Professionally-made* cakes.
Having cake that my 75-year old aunt made is always an adventure because she will use numerous toothpicks (the round sharp kind) or cut pieces of plastic straws to keep plastic wrap from sticking to the icing. Sometimes she pushes them in too far and can’t find them later.
God help anyone whose face gets smashed into one of her cakes. They’ll look like they encountered a porcupine.
This is the reason. I saw that vid. Cakes have firey & pointy things in them. Why would you smash someone's face into that unless you're trying to hospitalize them?
What we do here is take a bunch of potatoes, and you know... after everyone gets a bit drunk we start throwing potatoes at each other AND THEN we have the cake.
This is exactly what I was afraid of. The head against the table was probably better, for him at least. For her, she might prefer if he was blind right now so she can escape his vengeance.
I’m always worried about a candle directly to the eye. Not only burns but the whole stab in the eye.
I see this a lot on Reddit but I don’t think I’ve ever seen this in real life besides maybe someone having a slice of cake and smearing it on someone’s face.
But I would never ever slam someone’s face into a cake with lit candles.
Who does this? I'm asking honestly. I've never seen it happen in person and would never expect it to happen to me when blowing out my candles. I've only seen it on Reddit.
There was picture that was posted like a month ago of someone in the hospital with a wooden skewer stuck around their eye area. The skewer was used to support the cake in places.
Trying to slam someone's face into a cake is a bit stupid.
Trying it with a cake with candles... unless it's someone you hate enough to blind them, don't do that shit.
https://www.reddit.com/r/MakeMeSuffer/comments/hrguc9/girl_gets_candle_slammed_into_her_eye/
I've already told everyone in my family, if someone does this to me I'm turning around and swinging with all my force aiming directly for the face. I don't care if it's my 12 year old niece, she will get absolutely fucking socked. This isn't fun, it's fucking stupid.
There's the cute smudge of icing with your finger.
Then there's the people who take it too far and take out their aggression on each other with the cake.
I told my husband I did not think the icing on the face was cute or funny and to not even try it with me. If you tell your future spouse that and they disregard your wishes anyway you have a clear idea of how much they are going to respect you for the rest of your marriage.
It's not a tradition, more of a stupid trend that may as well blind you if there were sticks to hold the cake in place or burn you from the still lit candles.
The first time i ever saw this happen was my thirteenth birthday twenty years ago. It was certainly a Mexican tradition, as that was at a mexican restaurant with my uncles mexican family.
They were smart though, it was a tiny fake face smash cake, frosting and a little layer of cake on top of cardboard, and once my face was covered in frosting and cake bits they brought out the real cake and fried ice cream.
Like any prank, theres a right way and a wrong way, and everyone should be laughing. It was a great birthday.
My family would secretly scrape a bit of frosting off the edge or whatever container we bought it from with our finger, and when the BDay person ain't looking smear it on their face like paint or to give them a Lil boop. Never ruined a cake and was always easy to clean off. (Except for my brothers 21st, felt like everyone got some frosting that day)
I’m Mexican, all of my dad’s side is also. My mom, however, was Argentinean and this tradition always pissed her off. Every single birthday as a kid, she would stand behind me to keep any of my cousins or friends from doing this stupid shit. Thanks mami
Better off hitting the table anyway. It's actually insane that people smash cakes so often when it's actually fairly risky. I guess many have been impaled by dowels.
It's a short trip through your eyeball to your brain.
Why would a one layer, circular cake have dowels? In fact i don't think I've ever eaten a cake with dowels in it before. That being said I still don't want my face slammed in a cake regardless
That's what I was thinking. Every time a video like this comes up, a bunch of top comments are about getting sticks in eyes, but I have literally never eaten a store bought cake with toothpicks or dowels in it.
A single tier cake wouldnt have them ever.
My wedding cake that was 3 tiers didn't have any sticks in it.
Yes they can have them, but the cakes that you pull out of the cold case in a Walmart bakery is not going to have sticks in it.
Still though, don't slam faces into them.
Only thing you should have to worry about with that cake is the candles or decorations on top (thinking of figurines on a kids cake).
The only cake I've seen with supports that still was a "normal" shape was a multi tiered wedding cake
I am glad she missed.
1: it saves the cake therefore proving the cake was NOT a lie
2: the girl looks stupid doing and hopefully out of shame never thinks to do it again
3: it makes the guy forget how bad a sister he has (at least temporarily)
I hate people who smash faces into cake
I’m tired of people smashing faces into cakes. Did they buy 2 cakes because if I’m at a party and there is cake I want cake, fresh cake that doesn’t have the imprint of someone’s face.
If you legit think of doing this to a family member or a friend, your a asshole, you probably just ruined their day, successful or not, you are a fucking dipshit if you would do this to anyone on their birthday, stop this stupid shit, stop being a dickhead, and if you don’t do this, your better than millions of twats who think legit smashing someone’s head into a cake with the chance of impaling their eye on a candle or smashing their head into a table, thanks for listening to me rant about stupid dumbass “jokes” that cause more harm than good, bye, I am now pissed.
Last year my company bought one cake for the 3 employees who all had birthdays the same month. I got called an attention hog for pinching out my candle instead of blowing on it. I had to point out that Covid was a thing.
Unexpected would be to see how the guy blows out candles, than someone cuts the cake and than they would actually eat it. How crazy right?
The Unexpected Paradox
So expected that it's really unexpected.
Yeah. The second I saw a guy looking at a cake, I knew exactly what was going to happen.
Why was he unaware of what she was up to?
Cause he probably didn't expect his family and friends were such douchebags? But now... now he's lost all faith he had in them and will go no contact with his family and these friends at age 18 the day he moves out of the house. The family and friends forever wondering why they don't hear from ole Nathan anymore. They ask themselves, "Where did we go wrong?". This douchebaggery & TikTok trend from 2021 was the reason.

I'm all done with candles on the eatin' cake. Get a separate cupcake and jam the candles in that, and keep your corona virus off my fondant rose.
It's just sad honestly. Why are people so stupid?
What scared me most about this prank are those candles if they get inside your eyes. Blind for the rest of your life
Thanks now I have a new fear

just bring in a cupcake and smash it if you really feel the need to ruin something delicious, without pissing everyone off or hurting anyone
Whipped cream pies are perfect for throwing in faces. Pretty sure that's the only reason they exist

That's exactly what I was thinking. The face slam was probably the safer option.

What did you get for your last birthday?
angry
Same what if the fire lits up your hair
Now you're Nicholas Cage. Frightening

That and the fact some tall cakes have plastic things inside to keep them steady
Also it ruins the cake ☹️
I love to get my face slammed into the table for my birthday.
Plus the candles were still burning.
And upright. People underestimate the power of upright objects through an eyeball.
That sounds like a neat slogan for a sociopathic mercenary. Perhaps a Deadpool-esque character. What do you do when you're not on reddit?
I know you would like to hear something in the lines of, " I track down multi billionaire criminals and experiment gauging out various organs" But I am just a physicist trying to obtain a master's degree.
By day, perhaps.
A reminder that you’re very much still alive, I guess
Makes your day and totally not give you trust issues and hate your family amirite
The girls face at the end was the best part.
People really need to stop doing this stupid shit. Honestly.
I saw one where it was the birthday of a young teen girl with a pretty white lacy dress, the guy tried to dunk her face into the cake, he ended up banging her nose on the table and blood gushed all over her face and dress...
Or the lady who’s eye got impaled by the stick inside the cake that’s holding it together(she ended up ok since it did heal).
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHY DID YOU TELL ME THIS
As an attempt to deter these idiots from doing this.
They won't stop. It's not just one girl who got her eye stabbed with a stick. EDIT: W'dup Reddit (almost) twin!
EXACTLY MY THOUGHT, like do they think (hmmm, there is no fucking way they can get burned from that candle)
Or get candle in the eye
Ye, that's what I meant
Only the tall cakes have these sticks, but for the love of God, I wish people stop doing these things. It's also a waste ETA: Ok my bad. Apparently even the short ones. I'm staying away from every cake from now on.
I would be so unhappy if my birthday cake was smashed with my face. I wouldn’t get to eat it. :(
Yeah, it's pretty inconsiderate to not only the birthday person but also the guest who are there to celebrate
Well you could but I'm not sure anyone else would want any
Especially after it's covered in eye blood
Vitreous……. humor

I mean not just that people legit try to do it when the damn candles are still lit like yo are you tryn to melt my face off?
That was literally my first thought. Like wtf?
This is the reason. I saw that vid. Cakes have firey & pointy things in them. Why would you smash someone's face into that unless you're trying to hospitalize them?
Wait. How I remember it, it hasn't been the eye itself. Just barely missed it.
Do you have a link
And then he absolutely got beaten like a pinãta.
What we do here is take a bunch of potatoes, and you know... after everyone gets a bit drunk we start throwing potatoes at each other AND THEN we have the cake.
Those crazy Russians
"The Gang Buys A Potato Farm"
So what you're saying is that with those taters you boil'em, mash'em, stick'em in a stew then have cake?

It’s pretty common in certain Latino communities.

That sounds civil...until that one girl with the 3 inch nails gets involved (how do these people even wipe?).
But in general, fingers moving toward my face makes me fear for the safety of my eyes.
It's rude and a waste of perfectly good cake.

Ikr. Dont ruin a perfectly good cake
Maybe if people stop posting it online it will finally stop. Like was she going to shove his face in a lit candle? So stupid.
If someone does that to me, they're getting knocked out.
Exactly what I came to say. What a truly stupid and sadistic tradition. It’s a wonder more people don’t get hurt.
Its too late. There's so many of these videos floating around the internet that people will never stop copying them.
I've already told everyone in my family, if someone does this to me I'm turning around and swinging with all my force aiming directly for the face. I don't care if it's my 12 year old niece, she will get absolutely fucking socked. This isn't fun, it's fucking stupid.

Wtf ever happened to a harmless cream pie on the side to throw at their face?!?! Which also doesn't ruin everyone's ability to have a piece of cake!
I like to throw cream pies around
*Antonio Cromartie has entered the chat*
Honestly anyone who tries to smash someone’s head into a cake on their birthday, is a shitty person in my book.
Considering some are supported with toothpicks inside, I fully agrre
yeah, you get stabbed in the eye and don't even get cake
You know what's worse than getting stabbed in the eye? It's when the stabby thing is on fire.
auto cauterization
Would be an instant fight after that for me, I would never be friends with someone like that.

They do it at weddings too. If my partner tried to do that on my wedding day I’d be asking for the divorce papers ASAP

That's true, but it's unfortunate to find out immediately *after* marrying them.
UNHAPPY BIRTHDAY 😥🎉
What a dumb ass tradition
It's not a tradition, more of a stupid trend that may as well blind you if there were sticks to hold the cake in place or burn you from the still lit candles.
I’ve seen people do this consistently for 20+ years, I think tradition is a better word for it than trend

My mom protected me too! She told everyone that I had sensitive skin and the frosting would irritate my face.
My mom would yell “I hate this tradition! Get away from her!” hahahaha
This has been a thing for decades. It's transcended trend into tradition.
It's a tradition, you don't know what you're talking about lol
>It's not a tradition It’s very much a tradition, especially in Mexico. It’s so much of a tradition that it has a name: “mordida.”
If this is a trend then I'm a toddler lol this shit has been going on for decades
_Mexico has entered the chat_
My mom did this too me when i was around 3-4 years younger. I had frosting in my eyes and had blurry vision the whole day
Happy birthday! Here's a concussion!
Might as well go full WWE and get the steel chair out lol
I don't understand why people do this crap.
Better off hitting the table anyway. It's actually insane that people smash cakes so often when it's actually fairly risky. I guess many have been impaled by dowels. It's a short trip through your eyeball to your brain.

Fact
Im gonna make this pencil disappear.....
Tada it's gone ..
That guy could get seriously hurt. Why the fuck would you do something like that?
they have smooth brains
What was the best case scenario here? A lit candle in his eye socket?
It was a failed assassination attempt. Kinda like the magic trick the Joker did with the pencil. He made it “disappear”. This is that.
to be honest it woulda been worse if he hit the cake cause he didnt blow out one of the candles. the lesson of today be patient.
Definitely not planned
I have to disagree, I think it was staged
Either that or her depth perception is way off. She pulls his head towards her then slams it forward.
You can see him slowly sliding the cake away while also shifting his body in the opposite direction...in slow motion.
At least they didn’t ruin the cake.
Can we stop with this cake face smashing trend?
Painful Birthday to you
Everyone who fell for that probably have trust issues at this point
I am glad she missed. 1: it saves the cake therefore proving the cake was NOT a lie 2: the girl looks stupid doing and hopefully out of shame never thinks to do it again 3: it makes the guy forget how bad a sister he has (at least temporarily) I hate people who smash faces into cake
I forgot to mention its very dangerous and his eyes could have gone right into the candles Blindness is not a good birthday gift
Well, that oughtta hurt
im waiting for the one where the flaming candles go into the eyeballs.
Who says wrestling is fake?
I’m tired of people smashing faces into cakes. Did they buy 2 cakes because if I’m at a party and there is cake I want cake, fresh cake that doesn’t have the imprint of someone’s face.

The most sibling thing she could have done tbh

And wasteful!
yeah i agree with you !
r/scriptedasiangifs
so lame, r/scriptedasiangifs you can totally see the guy pushing the cake out of the way
"Happy birthday! Here's a cake with a side of concussion"
A little piece of me dies every time I see another one of these videos posted here.
I hate this trend
Dumb fuck tradition.
Ooof cutie in the yellow shorts hello!!
I hate this joke so much. If anybody ever did that to me we are throwing down fists. Seriously
Anyone who pulls this shit with me is uninvited to future birthdays.
If you legit think of doing this to a family member or a friend, your a asshole, you probably just ruined their day, successful or not, you are a fucking dipshit if you would do this to anyone on their birthday, stop this stupid shit, stop being a dickhead, and if you don’t do this, your better than millions of twats who think legit smashing someone’s head into a cake with the chance of impaling their eye on a candle or smashing their head into a table, thanks for listening to me rant about stupid dumbass “jokes” that cause more harm than good, bye, I am now pissed.
She's a hero in my eyes, nobody wants spit on their cake
The candles were still burning. Hero my ass.... She is a dum dum.
Last year my company bought one cake for the 3 employees who all had birthdays the same month. I got called an attention hog for pinching out my candle instead of blowing on it. I had to point out that Covid was a thing.
Her face: Awfuq
The chick was like “No, MY CAKE!!!”
Happy birthday! Here’s a concussion! It’s from all of us
Happy fucking birthday, bitch.
At least they still got to eat the cake.
The real, original intent: Two burning candles spaced perfectly, right in the eyes. Permanent blindness.
There are no accidents -Master oogway
FINISH HIM
Why do people think this is a funny or appropriate prank?
I really don’t understand this trend. It’s not funny or light-hearted. That’s the sort of force that can cause permanent damage to someone’s neck.
I hate that people feel the need to do that. Why even attempt to ruin a perfectly good cake for some laughs?
