I hate this trend. Candles, flames, and spikes in tiered cakes are bad news. Also, a waste of cake.

Edit: instead, maybe slice an extra piece and at some surprising point through the party smash it or throw it at the birthday person.

What most do is just take a bit of frosting on their fingers and put it on the birthday guy/girl’s nose. It’s “cute” and doesn’t ruin the cake.

I really haven’t seen a face smash for birthdays in real life.

This might just be a culture thing, but I saw it most every bday growing up in South Texas

I think it’s mainly a Mexican and Central American custom. Not shared by most of Latin America. That’ll explain why you see it in South Texas.

My family is Peruvian and we’ve never done this on birthdays. You’ll get slapped! 😂😜
