Her Husband Smashed Her Young Son’s Birthday Cake In Her Face At His Party
Have you ever seen a video of a bride and groom at their wedding, where suddenly the groom smashes a piece of wedding cake into the bride’s face, and you cringe?
Or maybe you saw a viral video where someone ruined their friend’s birthday cake by smashing it in their face and felt sorry for them?
Over the last few years, people have realized that the whole “cake smashing” thing at parties and events is kind of unnecessary and mean, especially if the person getting the cake smashed in their face didn’t consent to it.
One woman went viral on TikTok after posting the video of her husband smashing her one-year-old son’s birthday cake in her face and mentioning in her caption that she was very upset about it.
Candie Mulroy (@candie1983) is a mother from Tampa, Florida, who celebrated her son Robert’s first birthday with her husband and other relatives over the summer.
It was a Yogi Bear-themed party, and everyone had gone all out to make it special with decorations, all kinds of food, and, of course, a lovely first birthday cake.
In Candie’s video, viewers can see her and her husband place the cake in front of little Robert in his high chair as they sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to him.
After blowing out his candle, Candie’s family encourages Robert to dig into his cake, and her husband can be seen eagerly encouraging him to smash it and eat it.
After more time passes and Robert has a little taste of his cake, Candie’s husband is seen picking up the cake and walking it towards her while she is standing in the corner. You can hear Candie say

“No!” just before her husband smashes Robert’s birthday cake right in her face.
The party crowd can be heard cheering, and some may have thought it was a happy, silly thing. However, Candie was not pleased.
According to her caption and interviews Candie gave after the video went viral, Candie had hoped to take plenty of photos of her son with the cake, but they only got one before it was destroyed.
Plus, she simply did not want cake smashed in her face. She didn’t think it was funny and was quite hurt by her husband’s actions.
In a follow-up video Candie made, she explained that before having Robert, she went through a lot of challenges with her fertility. Therefore, she wanted his first birthday party to be especially memorable.
“I really was counting on down to that first birthday and [excited about] marking it with some beautiful family photos,” says Candie.
“That’s all. But then, shortly after, I got a cake in the face.”
In the caption of her viral cake smash video, which received over seven million views, Candie wrote,
“Not sure why he thought this was a good idea,” and “If he does this ever again, he won’t live to talk about it.”
TikTok users felt terrible for Candie and were infuriated by her husband’s actions, especially because the cake smashing was disrespectful to her, and it cut her son’s cake time short.
“Your feelings are 1000% valid,” wrote one TikTok user.
“Sure, everyone has different senses of humor, but he should’ve respected yours and how important this moment was to you.”
Other TikTok users wrote that Candie’s husband’s actions were divorce-worthy. However, after stating in follow-up videos that her husband is a wonderful father, she clarified that she wouldn’t be divorcing him after the incident.
However, she’s not afraid to show the world how foolish her husband was that day and let people know she was upset.
