An integral part of any birthday celebration  happens to be the cutting of the birthday cake. It is observed that many-a-times as part of the celebrations upon cutting the cake the face of the person celebrating the birthday is slammed on the cake. This act is fraught with danger. The risks of messing around with the cake in the spur of the moment cannot be overstated. Playing with cake forcefully is where things can and do go wrong.
