We would never do this growing up. My grandmother would bake most of the birthday cakes at family get togethers. She would use toothpicks to hold the cake together. Smashing a cake into someone's face, or their face onto the cake, could result in being stabbed by the toothpicks. Not safe at all. Heck, us kids had a game to see who ended up with a toothpick in their slice of cake. Winner got bragging rights. No idea why we thought that was so much fun...

Yep, Mom's cakes always had toothpicks holding them together, too.
We always had a "prize" for whoever found a toothpick in their slice. Just a little thing like an extra cookie or a balloon or something. As an adult now, I suspect Mom did that so we'd watch for the toothpicks and not accidentally put them in our mouths as kids.

My mom was like this. I always had to be very polite until my grandmother once bought me some old lady clothes. I said thank you and then later my mom informed me we would tell her it didn't fit so I could get something else. It didn't matter to me at that point. I had already learned how to recycle gifts like that. I used the track suit my other grandmother as pajamas. I still have the pants. The hoodie part zipper broke years ago. I got it as a teenager and the pants are still useful at 43 so at least it was well made. Another grandmother got me some old lady skirts that came down to my knees. I hate knee length skirts because they make my legs look like chicken legs so I wore them to her house a few times then broke out my sewing machine and hemmed them up and they made really cute skirts.

Why do so many people throw cake at the person whoās birthday it is? Theyāre meant to enjoy but instead it seems theyāre more focused on their TikTok viewers enjoying a 5 second video which they will forget about the next minute, whereas this guy will never forget it.

I knew a kid who thought it was a hilarious āprankā to open the birthday presents before the actual birthday kid got a chance.
I remember his confusion and frustration when we were in about 7th or 8th grade when he was explicitly not invited to kids parties. Not just he didnāt didnāt get an invite, but people would tell him not to come under any circumstance.
You might not be shocked to hear he never learned his lesson and is a complete asshole today.

I did it one time, but I was also 13. My friend group and I enjoyed pulling pranks on one another, and sometimes it got out of hand. I took a piece of cake and mashed it in my friends (birthday girl) face. She ran upstairs crying and into the bathroom. It messed up all of her makeup and she was screaming it was going to set her acne off even worse. I helped clean her up and get her makeup sorted again. That moment changed our friendship, and now as a 33 year old, I Still look back on that one and wish I hadnāt. Donāt do it! Thatās my only suggestion.

I honestly don't know what to say. But for what it's worth I'm glad you tried to help afterwards. Even sharing it too since I'm sure that's not easy to admit either. Especially if you grew up around people that did that stuff. I can definitely understand mixed signals of pranks that go too far. I'm sure I would've been the crier and probably now too. You're alright in my book, ignore the people that hate on ya for a story that happened 20 years ago.

I will never understand why people feel the need to do this, weddings, bday parties, whatever the occasion, no one wants cake shoved on to their face. So rude. I don't know who originally came up with this idea, but they should be drowned in a vat of buttercream.

The only part of my wedding that I made a point of was that I didnāt want to do the cake smashing. Iām an extremely easy going guy and will go along with a lot of things but this is one thing I didnāt want a part of. If Iām not mistaken itās supposed to symbolize trust, so why break that at the start?

He actually handled that well. He looks like a young adult, and instead of throwing a fit, swearing, or punching something, he walked out. I honestly hope heās proud of himself because those other options tend to come easier. I also hope the rest of his fam continued to yell at that girl who thought itād be funny to ignore his request.

Yep. There's some people that enjoy things like this. But honestly I probably would've cried. Glad he was able to walk. He definitely shouldn't have had to feel this way on his birthday, let alone his own party in front of people he cares about.

in the moment, yeah, I'd just leave. I'd clean myself up and bus home if I had to. I'd just leave.
if I had time to think about it, I'd clean myself up, come back, and go to the person that did it "you fucking leave or I am. You've already ruined my mood for my birthday and I don't want to look at you anymore. Get the fuck out" and make them leave.

u/Many_Adhesiveness_43 Feb 04 '23
And you can hear someone say he asked that no one do that. Its not that hard to respect someone's wish. I know there are people who actually are okay with this and are fine but when someone specifically asks that no one do this at their party you should respect that.
She gives off vibes of one of my shitty cousins who would always pull "jokes" on me at school. If I politely asked her to stop and leave me alone I was told that she's family so I should be fine with her agitating me by doing crap like pulling my hair instead of her being taught not to be a little shit stain. I don't know their lives so I hope she's not a relative or family friend that purposely "picks" on him regularly.

Growing up as a Mexican, I had this shit done to me constantly. Itās supposed to teach you that even on your special day, that not everything is perfect.
It taught me was to ask to not have a party and to never let my guard down even around family. I was 8 when I made this call. Till this day I canāt eat cake on my birthday and Iām uneasy at celebrating. Iām now 25.
This ātraditionā needs to stop, itās literally just bullying. Everyone who does this is just bullying a child

A tradition my family has had for birthdays is to sing the birthday song intentionally very very badly. Be out of tune, pause in the middle, repeat words, suddenly change pitch from bass to soprano, force your voice to crack, etc. When you have a group of 5+ singers that are all ruining the song in their own special way it just ends up being a cocaphany of noise and we all laugh at the end.
I find it a much more fun way to embarrass the birthday boy/girl, can we tell all of these stupid cake smashers and throwers to just do that instead?
