When you make a wish and blow out the candles on your birthday cake, the last thing you would expect is the cake to blow up in your face.
But that’s exactly what happened when this young man in the US blew out his home made birthday cake.
Look closely and you’ll see the cake is covered in a thick layer of icing sugar.
When he blows out the candles, the icing sugar puffs up in a thick cloud and immediately ignites from the exposed candle flame, causing a massive fireball to erupt in his face.
Thankfully, the boy is unhurt, as the icing sugar burnt out quickly. But we guess he’ll check for icing sugar when his next birthday comes around.
Incidentally, you can do the same thing with corn starch. The Crazy Russian Hacker tried it.
Or, for even more explosions, these guys test whether icing sugar explodes when you shoot at it.
