The concept of pastry and/or baked goods traditions has always been one of my favorite things about life. Rising from the depths of Twitter's trends among Japanese teenage girls, the idea of hurling a cream puff into someone's face as a means to commemorate their birthday is now a thing. In actuality, the cream puff throw can also be used to celebrate any joyous moment, which makes this one hell of a treat for both parties.
Oh man, all of this pastry tossing reminds me of the birthday cake tradition that's done by most people in Mexico, which involves the birthday person smashing a part of their face into the cake. However, the only difference is the distance between the two scenarios is the baked delight and the face. One thing that I can take away from all of this is that a cream covered face can result in true happiness.
Taking the aftermath into consideration, you are welcome to hit me in the face with a cream puff when the time is right. While you are at it, you should try it out on your close friends, lovers, kids, and/or family members as well. As a heads up, make sure that they are okay with it, so that it won't result in any unnecessary conflicts.
