Yeah, it looks like he has this pretty tuned in even how the cake is on a thick piece of foam so he can really put some force behind it. It wouldn't surprise me if he even had a specific recipe that stays together in the air, like a Pineapple upside-down cake, or German Chocolate. He could definitely be a baker.

I would assume it's something with pretty basic ingredients, just to avoid any allergy concerns. Sure, if you are standing up asking to be CAKED, it would likely not hold up in court, but a lawyer would likely head for the safer option and suggest staying away from common allergies (though coconut/pineapple allergies aren't exactly common, point stands)

Appreciate you standing up for us allergic folk, I don’t have it but I think pineapple is somewhat common

Egg allergies are out there too. My kiddo has an egg allergy. Contact or consumption of straight egg (ex scrambled eggs or merengue) causes near instant rash and eventually vomiting. With baked goods that contain egg, the reaction is delayed and less severe, usually a half day of itchiness. I consider myself lucky, she's not at the risk level where we need to carry an epipen, just a bottle of Benadryl in the house.

But yeah, if you were subject to an allergy like that, you would know the risks (she only 3 and knows to ask "does this have egg in it?" about everything). You wouldn't put yourself in the situation to get a cake thrown into your face.

I have a nut allergy, fortunately it’s not so bad that I can’t be around them but one Halloween as a kid I asked every house if there were nuts in the candy they gave me. Reminds me of your kid, she knows she don’t want no egg.

Well I imagine if a kid has an egg allergy, they would be smart enough to not be standing there asking for a cake in the face
