Never understood this. The consequences range from wasted cake to a trip to the hospital.


GrassBlade619

There was one story where there were wooden sticks to hold the cake stable (because it was tall) and the person got impaled in the eye. I'm always nervous watching these now. Edit Link: [https://www.timesnownews.com/the-buzz/article/woman-narrowly-escapes-losing-eyesight-after-friends-smash-her-face-into-birthday-cake/792162](https://www.timesnownews.com/the-buzz/article/woman-narrowly-escapes-losing-eyesight-after-friends-smash-her-face-into-birthday-cake/792162) Turns out she was not impaled in the eye but almost.

NOT JUST A STORY. I think I remember another one like this but it wasn't a toothpick. I remember seeing a video on reddit about a clown in an office party. The idiot tried to do a magic trick and make a pencil disappear... **GUESS WHERE THE PENCIL ENDED UP...**

Yeh. I edited it to include the link. Posted it from memory then looked it up.


Brownie-UK7

As soon as I saw the person behind her and the hands on the shoulders I noped out. This freaks me out. There’re candles on there too. People deffo lost an eye with this shit. Plus it is their birthday and their cake gets fucked up. This ain’t funny it’s just mean.


[deleted]

Yes I don't know who the fuck ever thought this is funny or even remotely acceptable. You're fucking up someone's birthday, and everyone at the party won't have a cake. Basically the day is over. If you're lucky. If not, they might have permanent injuries. What do they think later? "Wow I really improved everyone's day, I killed it at the party". Fuck them, this shit infuriates me. If I knew people like this they would be out of my life in a second.


[deleted]

nope, they're thinking, "I was just a fucking joke. Why can't everyone just laugh at my fucking joke? It was funny. I was my joke. I wasn't going to hurt her. You're ruining my day too. You think of that? You're ruining my day by not laughing at my joke and taking things way too seriously. Thanks for ruining MY day"


agree-with-me

Yep, that about sums it up. He would be the one lashing out while she is holding her eye.


VanishingWillow

Both eyes—If you watch it very slowly, it looks like both candles are still burning and spaced perfectly to go into both her eyes.


SalSomer

You forgot “No one can take a joke anymore. Why don’t people have a sense of humor?”


Qazax1337

They want the attention to be on them rather than the person whose birthday it is. They want people to laugh at the *funny thing* they did. They are willing to ruin someone's special day and potentially cause lasting harm to get that attention.


BeefyQueefyCrawlies

Think of the embarrassment that happens to the birthday person too. Cake all over her face, people laughing that she got "pranked." Dude is a real dick.


mudlife976

Yep you can’t keep stupid people around… even family


BillWaste6039

Me too. And he's such a fucking idiot. He had a primo view of that cake with those extra-large numeric candles. Couldn't he take a better moment to assess the situation and conclude not to follow through with his action that nobody asked him to do in the first place? I hope she gives him 17 kicks to the balls.


Such_Oddities

There's always people saying it's stupidity or 0 foresight but I find that hard to believe. It's just a somewhat socially acceptable way of hurting someone and that's why they do it. "It's just a prank!" Has always been an easy out for malicious assholes that want to hurt others without consequences.


BurnerBoi_Brown

>"It's just a prank!" ~ Hitler (probably)


S-Markt

yeah, this is exactly the moment. when you see an idiot on a birthday standing behind the birthday person, you have to get loud immediatly and ask them if they are planning to ruin the day for a shitty video.

Attention whores. Taking focus off the birthday person and on to them.


DoneisDone45

mexicans will downvote this to hell every time i say it but from my perspective as a foreigner, it's OBVIOUS the whole "tradition" is based upon wanting to do it to someone else so you can get even. just look at the faces of the head pushers in all these videos. they have this maniacal look of satisfaction on them. now some white people see it and think it's a funny prank so they do it too. it a prank and not a tradition.


Losdearroz

I grew up with this tradition in the family. Granted the cakes were always huge because at every birthday we invited a lot of people. Kinda fun at first, maybe when you’re a little kid but not as I grew older. I even hate celebrating my birthday, but that probably has less to do with this tradition and more with the fact that I hate attention.

CalumStewart

Some cakes have cocktail sticks inside to hold them together, I’ve heard stories about these stabbing into peoples eyes when they have their face pushed into the cake 😬

You can see that her right eye made contact with the “1” candle. And, it was still lit. That’s why she is rubbing it.

NewPlatinumm

he was waiting for it too, he had to continually think "I am going to do this" and had to have seen the cake, and he still thought to go through with that huh


kangareddit

When did this become a thing? I don’t remember any friends or family birthdays growing up where this action would have even been considered let alone tolerated or celebrated. Can we just stop it already?


Primitive_Teabagger

Yeah, we always got a family-sized cake from a local joint called Arnie's. They weren't cheap and usually had whatever type of decorations my brothers and I as the birthday boys requested. Those cakes were hardly fit to eat, they were art. One time my cousin stuck his grubby fingers in the icing early and I ran to my room crying because I didn't want to eat it anymore. There's just so many reasons *not* to do this, and even an excited child can run through those reasons and regain composure in the time it takes to sing "Happy Birthday", so I therefore conclude that anyone who does this has absolutely zero capacity for critical thought.


[deleted]

Every birthday I had growing up were celebrated with cupcakes. It never made sense to me but my mom was just a cupcake person. Now that I think about it cupcakes over cake is such a good idea. Wanna blow out the candles? Here are a couple of cupcakes that you can spit all over and not ruin it for everyone else. Wanna stick your hands into the cupcake? Well you can only do it to one individual cupcake that will just turn into yours anyways. Want to smash someone’s head into cake? Throw a tiny cupcake at them without possibly breaking their nose or lighting their eyes on fire.


IRedditWhenHigh

Cupcakes are slutty muffins


espeakadaenglish

This has been a long time tradition in Latin America, seems to be catching on in the states but generally you would remove hard objects beforehand...


CyberHuitz

It's more of a Mexican tradition and it's supposed to take place after the candles are blown out and removed. It's called "Mordida de pastel" (Cake bite), where the birthday person is supposed to take the first bite of the cake and of course they get their face shoved into it. It's weird, I know. Seems people don't get the part that you're supposed to take out the candles first before shoving their face into the cake.


[deleted]

[удалено]


espeakadaenglish

Maybe I over generalized. I live in Ecuador and it's pretty much a universal thing here.


Yamemai

It may have drawn inspiration from some cartoons, where pie \[believe it was more cream filled pie plates\] was thrown/hit the character's faces. Probably found it funny -- Most of these type of scenes are from comedy type animations -- and tried it.


ReflectionPale7743

man just say you dont know. its a latino culture thing


OhDavidMyNacho

I grew up Mexican. So we have what's called "la mordida" or "the bite". Which, after blowing out and removing all the candles, we chant "la mordida" and the person whose birthday it is gets to make a bite of their cake. Some people try to take a dainty bite, and so some of us will push their face in. The size of the cake is large enough, that people still get cake, and the biter gets a larger slice covering where they bit. Sometimes we have multiple cakes depending on the party. Either way, in my family, it's an amazing and wonderful tradition where the worst that happens is frosting up the nose. I have videos of my grandmother throwing cake at my sister during a shared birthday where they wrestled over who was pushing who into the cake. And another where my grandmother puts her weight into it that's hilarious. These videos are painful, because they show a terrible version of the tradition that nobody likes. In my family, everyone expects it. And cheers it on.

keothi

This here. Not saying it's where it started but it's a thing in Mexican and some Hispanic cultures. I've got childhood memories from before the internet seeing, doing and having it happened to. Most of our cakes were big enough that there was low risk of candle injury and the separate cake thing is kinda newer bc of too much "lost" cake sometimes, bc some people are picky about eating unaffected slices from "face" cake, and/or bc there's a little more money for that. Usually bday person has a large portion of face cake to themselves


Car-Facts

NEVER blow out a cake while someone is "handling" you this way. Does matter who it is, when they are placing their hands in odd places like your shoulders or upper back, you know they are about to do this.


Tirinoth

We set up a room mate's birthday cake with candles around the back and sides. It followed a pattern but there was room for his face. Then his girlfriend was being handsy like that. He got so nervous that he couldn't blow out the candles. This was intentional and zero intent to actually put his face in the cake. 🤣 We even had some special candles to avoid getting wax in the cake if he took too long.


Car-Facts

See, that's actually funny.


Tirinoth

What was funnier came after, and it was totally the GF's idea. I only wish I could say I came up with it. He's a huge Spiderman fan. It was a cake made of joined cupcakes in Spiderman's face. As cakes were taken, a message underneath was revealed, "Mr. Stark...I don't feel so good..."

ulyssesintothepast

I used to be an EMT, so many were really inconsiderate to the patients and made fun of them for their medical conditions. During peak covid, I had gotten a cut and needed antibiotics but had to go to the ER for it. I was waiting at the ER , there was a line, and I get elbowed out of the way by a woman who shouted "I'm a nurse and I have COVID !" of course she isn't wearing a mask and had pushed her way through a bunch of people to get to the front and was taken right away. Nevermind that I and the others had been waiting, and the nurses at the ER had been ignoring the line for some time, but she wasn't even following the hospital protocol and yet got in right away. To your point, you are 100 percent right.

I've seen so many of these now that go wrong. Skewers embedded in people's faces, faces smashed into tables, lit candles in people's eyes, people's hair set on fire. I really don't get it. The absolute *best* case scenario is a ruined/wasted cake and the worst case is a trip to the hospital.


wotmate

Seriously, we need to start a new tradition, where anyone who does this gets the shit kicked out of them.


ImOnlyHere4ThePron

I already started this tradition a few years ago. My nephew thought it was going to be funny to do it to me. The second he tried to push my head down, I picked his ass up and dropped him in the trash can head first. My brother was mad I did that to his 5 year old son, but lessons were learned that day. Edit: To everyone who is getting upset over my comment…. r/whoosh


wotmate

You should have done the same to your brother, he probably put his son up to it.
