But this man is clearly not one to sit and pout over spit-upon birthday cake. Instead he devised an ingenious solution that let’s him have his cake and eat it too.
It’s unlikely that his simple method would work on every cake, though. For instance, this cake might take more than just a wave of the hand to extinguish.
