What was meant to be a simple birthday celebration quickly turned into a hilarious, blue-dusted disaster. Ben Khoshaba’s friend had baked a beautiful cake for their other friend’s birthday, planning to capture the magical moment of blowing out the candles with a special cannon on top. But when Ben set it off, expecting a cheerful confetti burst, the room was instead engulfed in swirling clouds of blue powder, coating her, the birthday friend, and the entire apartment.

My friend made a cake for our other friends birthday and wanted to record the candles being blown out on the cake she baked. I thought it was a confetti cannon and painted her blue as well as our other friends entire apartment. That powder traveled everywhere!
