A woman nearly lost her eyesight when a wooden stick stuck into her eyelid after her friends smashed her face into her birthday cake.

Smashing your friend’s face into the cake on their birthday has become a ritual these days. The fun tradition not only wastes the delicious cake but can also be dangerous. This is exactly what happened with a woman who got injured after her face was smashed into her birthday cake.

As soon as the woman cut the cake to celebrate her birthday, her friends smashed her face into the cake. Since the cake was a layered one, there were wooden sticks in it. One of the sicks stuck in her eyelid causing heavy bleeding.

The woman began to scream in pain and saw blood oozing out from her eyelid. She was rushed to a nearby hospital where the doctors removed the wooden stick.

The woman sustained an injury near her eye, narrowly escaping losing her eyesight. The doctors said her pupil was just a few inches away from her injury spot. She was lucky to not have lost her eyesight.

Photos from the incident which were first shared by Facebook have gone viral. In one of the photos, wooden sticks can be seen on the cake. In another picture, one of the sticks is seen stuck on the edge of the woman’s eyelid.

Bakers use wooden sticks to give support to a multi-layered cake.

The post cautioned people to not smash people’s faces directly into the cake.

One user said, “My friends and family usually put a bit of frosting on noses. Someone smashes my face into a cake, rods or not, we are fighting.”

Another wrote, “This is why I don’t have friends and only get ice cream cake.”
