I think the Flyers should hire Rich as a "Cake Consultant" because this was bad. Cute girl, good set up and total slam in the face with a cake. Zero mess.... And to make it worse, he almost broke the poor girls nose.

The type of frosting and cake were crap. The cake was probably super dried out and the icing had turned to dry "crusty" frosting on the outermost layer of frosting as it was probably sitting out way too long.
Thanks for the kind words.... and yes, as someone who can speak firsthand to the hit-or-miss attributes of cakes, I would've absolutely taken steps to make sure that cake would've been at least moderately successful... IF they'd hired me as "Cake Consultant."
But as we often mention with mainstream scenes, no one doing this stunt actually cares about WAM, so for them (and their intended audience), the gag was a success: Great setup, great "hit," great reaction. The abysmal coverage (or lack thereof) is noticed by us, but not the general public.
Props to my man Clutch the Bear, who knew how to throw a cake and DESTROY someone with it. I had an online convo going with the guy who created the mascot, and he was an interesting dude. Never really found the right avenue to ask him about his cake techniques and/or ask for "unreleased clips," tho. (FYI the one girl who gets nailed VERY well in a few Clutch bits was his GF, then wife, now ex-wife. Wonder if the cakes got to her??)
Very uneducated opinion since I'm not a baker so I don't know the chemistry behind different kinds of frosting, but I have had enough of my share of horrible cake coverage experiences that I stopped buying store bought cakes.
I don't want to say it was hit or miss since that would insinuate about 50/50. It was more like 75% terrible coverage to 25% great coverage.

You are, without a doubt, the cake coverage master. Every bit as good, if not better than Clutch.

Haha, thanks! In fairness, Clutch also did about 100 other things NOT involving cakes. The thing he did really well (along with Aoki) that I don't do at ALL is literally HURLING the sheet cake at someone. Which is kinda awesome if it works. If not.... You get the above result.
I use smaller (less expensive) cakes mostly and do a smush technique (usually from behind now) that gets the maximum coverage for your money. Same with the sheet cakes in that I'm basically trying to wrap the entire thing around the model's head. But I tell ya.... If money was no concern (*cough*custom idea*cough*) I'd love to recreate Clutch's epic gag, where he just hurled sheet cake after sheet cake at one poor bastard. It was something like 15-20 cakes, probably cost upwards of $500. (A drop in the bucket for the Houston Rockets.... Not a small amount for a WAM producer tho.)
I certainly wouldn't need that many, but even just 5 sheet cakes prepared correctly* and hurled with some accuracy would basically produce epic coverage for the right model.
* No store-bought cake will work fresh off the rack. Even the fabled Costco ones. (Which I found out the hard way.) You have to over-frost them yourself, then make sure both frosting and cake are reasonably soft and not stiff or hardened.

And there my WAM friends, you have the answer perfectly articulated by Sir Rich of Cakedom
The cake that I always wanted to aim for but never created was this one from a Stooges short...
Yep, what has happened to me before is the icing stuck to the cake instead of the face, leaving the face look all but untouched. That, in my mind, should be impossible. It's icing.
What did work for me in the end is just what Rich said; putting more icing on it and the store bought tubs of icing seems to do the trick, as well as adding to the cost.
This is a very expensive fetish. In fact, off the top of my head I can't think of a more expensive fetish. Bondage gear can be pretty cheap at most adult stores. And once you have that gear, you have it.
The one picture that Rich posted of Clutch's gf or wife post caking is great. Any other pics or vids of this? I remember looking for this awhile back but didnt find anything.

That one is one of the absolute greats, yes. The other indisputable classics (all male, FBOW) are Oliver Hardy in "Soup & Nuts" (three perfect pratfalls into giant oversized cakes), Gale Gordon in "The Lucy Show" episode "The Undercover Agent" (find it on YT, it's like a gold standard for cake falls), and Matthew in the Sooty Show. (See below... I think the "cake" is just a box with whipped cream in it, but throwing yourself into it from 20 feet out is damn impressive.)
Also, not to toot my own horn, but I think we came REALLY close to that exact Moe Howard coverage in SS198.... No fall, just the MILF self-slamming herself perfectly.

Believe me, I looked for video forever... Found nothing. I think it was a minor-league team (Vipers?) rather than the actual Rockets. I even found the game broadcast on YT, but no sign of the caking. I was hoping the guy behind Clutch would post video.... Nah, just this pic. (His wife posted the same one time, with the caption, "This is what happens when you marry a mascot...")
EDIT: Remembered there was another pic. Second woman got caked too. Yeah, this would've been a good one to get video on.
I've never thrown a cake at a girl, but if I did, I'd bake it with three layers, 2 thin and one thicker, and all very moist. The thick layer would be in the middle, and I'd cut a huge rectangle out of the middle of it and fill it with cake batter. Then put the top layer on, add frosting, and toss at model. Sort of like a cream-filled donut, but cake sized. I imagine that would make quite a nice mess.
