But some in the comments didn’t appreciate the humour in the photo. “Why do people think this is funny?” one person asked, while another commented, “It’s so violent.” “Why people smash their kid’s face in the cake is above my understanding but whatever,” wrote another.

Someone else said, “In my country [this is] done, but it’s very poorly [looked upon] because several accidents have already happened.” READ MORE: Chris Hemsworth’s Underwater Post Has A ‘Rock’ Solid Comment From Dwayne Johnson Others, though, defended the parents for the prank, with one person responding, “Violent?

It’s a bit of play.” “Those kids are gonna grow up able to take a joke not be some little fairy who thinks having their head dipped in frosting is violent,” said another commenter.
