I'm looking for a safe and effective way to make a cake explode. Any ideas?

Depends exactly on your definition of "safe" and "exploding". Also the size and dimensions of the cake you'd like to detonate would be nice. I know a thing or two about "safe" demolotions, so feel free to contact me.


*Please do not do this at home. Certain homemade explosives are considered felonous to manufacture.*

Let's say a typical 9" round layer cake. Or a sheetcake. Which would be easier? Is bigger better? Safe as in the person blowing out the candles won't get scorched, or thrown back, etc.

I'd prefer legal. But It wouldn't be the first time I've gone beyond the law for a good prank.

Of course, this is all speculative. An intellectual exercise. ;)

You call that an explosion? Sir, you're a disgrace to pyros everywhere! You should be ashamed of yourself to call that an explosion. :p

I don't think so. But I might have. I've had an interest in exploding pastry for a while now. Just never followed through on it.

Most explosions would probably end up burning the cake. The only one I can think of that doesn't would put iodine in the cake (which could prove bad if you eat it) but if you don't, it does make a VERY loud noise. If you're interested just say. (Note: I'm not sure if it actually explodes very largly, but it does require some friction, heat, etc.)

Paint a few of those firecrackers that just pops and make a loud noise. They are small and look like candle. Use them as candles!

You could try something with compressed air, maybe. I'm no expert on blowing up cakes though.

Put a chick in the cake and when someone tries to blow out the candles you say the icing is actually cum

I'm thinking make the cake hollow, fill a plastic bottle with dry ice and place it underneath.

Perhaps you can hide your butt in the cake and fart at the funniest moment

As an explosives expert I can say an easy way would be to take smokeless powder, insert into slender pouch. Place this pouch (airtight) onto a layer of the cake, put another layer on top. Somehow have the wires camo. The area of the cake and the area of the explosive are about equal, then when the person goes to blow, put the wires on the battery. As the explosive is spread out, it will lack a concentrated force, which will prevent serious injury. It will have enough power to make a mess of things, and probably a few enemies.

Do you want to eat what remains of the cake afterwards?

Hmm. Interesting...

What can be scooped up shouldn't be toxic, but I'll most likely have a back-up cake for eating.

Theoretically, of course. After all, this is all only speculation. :D
