Seller Instructs Customers to Avoid Face Smashing on Cakes for Safety “Naglalagay po kami ng dowel”
A seller advises the public to avoid face smashing on cakes for safety, saying, “Naglalagay po kami ng dowel.”
Recently, the Facebook page “ELAsthetic Finds” shared a post advising the public against the popular trend of “face smashing” or pushing someone’s face into a cake due to hidden dangers. The post garnered various reactions from the netizens.
Inside these cakes, there is often a “dowel,” a support stick made of bamboo, or a BBQ skewer that runs through the cake to the baseboard. This dowel keeps the cake sturdy, especially during transport, preventing it from collapsing and saving both clients and bakers from stress.
The page instructed the customers to dab a finger in the icing and smear it but informed the cops not to push anyone’s face into the cake.
The online community wholeheartedly agreed with this reminder and expressed their gratitude for raising awareness. They also suggested that bakeries include warnings to inform everyone about the potential risks.
Some netizens suggested that the dowel should be rounded on top instead of pointed to minimize the risk of someone getting hurt.
As of this writing, the post has garnered 18k reactions, 24k shares, and 1,3k comments. The post reminds the public of the importance of spreading this safety message to prevent accidents and ensure that celebrations remain joyful.
Here is the full post:
“Dear Client..
Naglalagay po kami ng dowel. Kadalasan bamboo or bbq stick para tagos hanggang board para lalong matibay ang kapit ng cake especially kung ibabyahe. Iwas sira. Iwas stress kay client at baker.
Kaya please . .. NO FACE SMASHING po sa cake..
Pwede idutdot ang daliri sa icing at ipahid pero wag na nating isubsob ang mukha ng kahit sino sa cake…
Ang dowel na inilalagay namin ay support para hindi bumagsak o mag-slide ang cake.. Dahil matataas ang mga cake namin unlike any commercial brand na mabababa ang mga cake at hindi na kailangan lagyan ng pang suporta…“
