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. Normally people would assume cakes are just fluffy food made of flour, sugar, butter, and eggs. Even a single lit candle on the birthday cake could prove dangerous for the eye in case the face is smashed on the cake. Nowadays birthday cakes have a lot of creamy topping. This cream can enter the air passage of the one whose face is slammed on the cake and choke the person. Again after slamming on the cake the face can even hit the hard table surface and knock the person out cold. It would hence be advisable to avoid such a celebratory act.
