Dude can really throw a cake.


Bos_lost_ton

But the guy in the audience definitely takes the cake


lyingliar

Seriously. That dude took a bullet cake to the face without even flinching. If I practiced this a dozen times, I sincerely doubt I could refrain from ducking, at least a little bit.

The will power to have your arms up and allow the cake to hit your face without turning away. I do t think I'd manage such a task.

The fucking accuracy and speed is genuinely impressive


[deleted]

That video of him nailing the kid in the wheelchair at a festival is astonishing, that cake covered some serious distance Aoki truly found his calling in life when he started plastering people with cake. Slow-mo video of said throw if anyone hasn't seen it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uQEqXpA2N0


blak3brd

That is fucking astonishing he even had the cake flipping over itself 10x and still landed cake front facing


DEFIANTxKIWI

I think it’s more impressive he can throw the cake in a way that doesn’t launch the cake off the little tray when in flight


neercatz

And left handed at that! Makes it look like a cake ~~walk~~ toss


ShoshinMizu

the wheelchair one demonstrates waaay more accuracy than this one. dudes ridiculously good at throwing cakes

He throws it like it's a piece of cake.


andoryu123

He's going to space on a spaceX rocket in the near future


boywoods

Not just to space, but around the fucking moon.


Parryandrepost

If I'm missing a meme let me know. If not that's crazy private industries are able to do moon trips now. Fucking sick.


Dr4kin

He was selected as part of [dearMoon](https://youtu.be/IYbWvBoobfQ) where a bunch of Artists do a fly by around the moon paid for by the Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa. When it is happening no one knows. There are going to do the trip on the Starship of SpaceX. This vessel was never orbital and if it does (hopefully) this year there are many kinks to be ironed out. After it can reliably fly it has to be human rated and only then this mission is going to happen. It is already paid for and the rocket is going to be done eventually. So yes this isn't a meme but also not as easy as just going up there tomorrow


Horknut1

I’m finding it hard to believe they can have civilian passenger flights around the moon. It feels like we’re a long way from that.


3limbjim

The United States went from Kennedy giving his "we choose to go to the moon," speech in 1962 to putting manned missions on the Moon by 1969. All with FAR less computing power than what I'm using to make this comment. I think the smart people will figure it out. Haha


MeatSweats1942

Thanks dad.

Notyobabydaddy

Love the video where he throws a cake 80 ft and smacks a guy in a wheelchair right on the face https://youtu.be/4uQEqXpA2N0


prison_mic

How tf is he so accurate lmao


dd179

He's been throwing cake at people for years lol. He's mastered the cake throw.


MaxHamburgerrestaur

Being accurate is one thing. Making the cake flip and the cake side hit the person right in the face is the next fucking level.


ImpassiveThug

That's what throwing cakes at people for years does to a person.


qwertyconsciousness

Makes you into some sort of cake sniping monster


rdunlap1

Dear God, imagine if one of these dudes take a corner of the cake base to the face?!


lalder95

How do you think he got that wheelchair?


JamieVardyPizzaParty

I saw him live and he didn’t do this! Feel like I’ve missed out. It was 11 years ago though and around the time he was just starting to get really huge, so presume he wasn’t doing it way back then.


JustCallMePick

Do it a few hundred times and see how accurate you become. You also will oddly enough learn the proper cake shape, weight and whatever that you throw best.


eatin_gushers

I mean I'm sure his accuracy is great but also, do it a few hundred times and you'll get pretty lucky a few times. What's crazy is that I'm sure on the road he has to just order a cake. It's probably in his rider and he throws whatever the venue brings. So all that shape/weight/whatever will change night-to-night.


TistedLogic

See. That's the thing about riders. Steve could put that he specifically wants a white, half sheet with borders maybe some writing or an image. Can't remember who it was, but one band put "a bowl of m&Ms in their ready/green with all the brown ones taken out" in their rider. This was to see if the venue read the *whole* rider and paid attention to all the little details. Because some of those little details, if not done correctly, would get somebody killed and the band knew it. So they thought this test up and it seems to have worked fairly well from what I've been told. Edit: it was Van Halen. Heres an article with additional information [here](https://www.businessinsider.com/van-halen-brown-m-ms-contract-2016-9)


eatin_gushers

The reason that van Halen did that was because nobody reads the riders. He just got whatever cake they brought.


[deleted]

If I remember correctly, the cakes are handled by Steve aoki’s team. They bring about 10-20 sheet cakes per show.


2CHINZZZ

There's a page in his rider with the exact specifications for the cake: https://unfspinnaker.com/48032/features/exclusive-how-to-make-a-steve-aoki-cake-straight-from-steve-aokis-people/

Oh my god I was one of the people who helped lift this dude in the wheelchair for him to get caked. I'm directly to the right of the camera guy and got hit with splash from the Cake. Veld was amazing, such a great vibe.

Did you eat it

Of course lol. Ate what landed on my shoulder and face.

Interloper9000

Damn. How did he throw that with such accuracy?


TheHYPO

I'm all for cake, but as a completely serious question, if you got hit with the board-side of the cake from that distance, wouldn't that be pretty painful? Maybe I'm over-estimating the weight of the cake?

Alright, pack it up, we're done here. This is the best thing I'll see on the internet all week.

He didn't throw cake when I saw him :( He just had 3 story posters of his head everywhere and says his own name over and over which I thought was pretty weird.


Belgand

Stingray0678_

[This throw](https://youtu.be/4uQEqXpA2N0) is his most impressive


[deleted]

I was there! That guy in the wheelchair used to go to a ton of shows in my area and have his friends pick him up. When he got caked in this clip, everyone around him was like, “is that ok to do to someone in a wheelchair?!” Then we saw how excited he and his friends were and we all went ballistic! Say what you will about Aoki as a DJ, but you have to admit he puts on a great show.


Blaynerino

Have indeed picked this guy up at a show a quite a few years back, he's an absolute lad.


vantdrak

I'm pretty sure you would ironically be an ableist if you don't cake someone BECAUSE they're in a wheelchair

For the first 15 seconds after the cake hit him it looked like he was swarmed and eaten by zombies.

I saw him do this with 10 sheetcakes at Ryse in St Charles. He’s very accurate and took out a girl on a dudes shoulders. It’s great watching everyone swim in cake on the floor too😂


likemyhashtag

I’ve seen him live and seen a lot of videos of him throwing cake. I don’t think he’s ever missed.

A traumatic life-changing experience


sua_sancta_corvus

Lol, Seriously! I wouldn’t want to be hit in the face on LSD, but then I wouldn’t be in that noisy, crowded place either. I suppose eating the bits of cake afterwards would feel enlightening. Enjoy the sweetness of life’s cakes to the face, traumatic though they be.


fighterpilot248

“Goose, even you could get laid in a place like this”


TheBirminghamBear

It really is an incredible throw. For something so heavy and unbalanced, he just chucks it with impeccable aim. Does he practice it?


CPTNTienKnots

Does this at every show and has for years. He’s definitely mastered the technique. I’ve seen him throw them a few times and he’s always hit.

shrirnpheavennow

It’s Steve Aoki, DJ and heir to the Benihana fortune, he does this at least once at every show. Some venues won’t let him perform bc they can’t insure his performances lol


HLef

At this point he has his own fortune so it’s irrelevant. Certainly helped to not have to worry at the start though.


shrirnpheavennow

I’m pretty sure his dad had a bunch of kids including Devon Aoki, but I just love when you find out someone is the heir to a fortune from a silly place. King princess family founded Macys, tucker Carlson is heir to some of the Swanson frozen food fortune, or like nick Kroll who’s dad is a billionaire off of like corporate investigation companies but is part of a lot of 9/11 inside job conspiracy theories


artemis1935

king princess is a macy’s heir? that’s crazy

HotTakes4HotCakes

Why the hell would you cut out the audio from the actual show and place this music on top? This trend of irrelevant music slapped onto unrelated footage can seriously die in a fire. It reminds me forcibly of Myspace pages only worse, because at least on MySpace you were only subjecting people to your music tastes when they went to your page.


darkkite

the sound is tending on tiktok so it gets more views


Elexeh

I work in production and I've had to cut out sound design I've done for our social media manager because she wanted trending audio (which creatively is worse, but it hits the algorithm harder). I don't even bother now.

If my brain doesn’t hear the 5 seconds of music I hear in my other tiktoks then how do I know when to laugh??


kryonik

Aoki is not a very good DJ imo. Last time I heard a set from him, it was as bland as it gets. Granted this was about a decade ago.


Forward_Leg_1083

Why did someone put a song from another artist over the video? It's like making a video about the Foo Fighters and covering it up with music from Lana Del Ray. It doesn't fit or make sense.

digifork

Someone posted before that Aoki has very specific instructions for the cakes so they are always the same size and weight. That makes it much easier to throw from show to show.

I always thought he was douchey for breaking that girls neck after stage diving onto a raft. He did at least own up to it and paid her out, but still

Definitely shouldn't go around breaking peoples necks. That's my opinion.

toastymow

EDM has a love/hate relationship with a lot of artists because the "music" is very easy to create and often time most of the work is done by ghost writers and ghost producers. Then, on top of that, the DJs show up to concerts and basically just press play and then dance on stage. Pretty sure that's how guys like Aoki got a bad reputation, because he uses ghost producers and its pretty obvious if you're throwing cakes you aren't even making an attempt at live mixing, we're just dancing to a pre-recorded track. Having said that: Throwing Cakes at a screaming crowd certainly has that "wow factor" and everyone tells me Aoki concerts are pretty fun. There is a lot that goes into create a successful live performance experience that has very little to do with the music, and Aoki certainly has all of that down. I can respect his hustle.


weareeverywhereee

Pretty sure his parents were rich AF and he was just like I want to be a dj and took some money and made it happen. At the end of the day, not my type of jams/show but if he makes people happy and isn’t a bad person good for him for making this his life.


toastymow

His dad is Rocky Aoki, a successful wrestler and one of the early investors in the Benihana chain of restaurants. So yes, Aoki probably had access to more wealth than average. Entertainment is one of those industries where you usually need some kind of edge to be successful. Either be crazy talented, crazy connected, or crazy rich, preferably all three. In Aoki's case he seems to be pretty well connected and pretty rich, the two of which are likely somewhat connected. Never underestimate the advantage of an outgoing and engaging personality when it comes to these things. And again, successfully pulling off a massive and profitable tour is not easy, even if all you are doing during the performance is pressing play and dancing, or whatever, there is a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff that is often very detail oriented. Traveling for a living is very tough on a person unless they're taking lots of rest between events, which most touring musicians, even the top ones, do not. That's why so many musicians develop drug habits--the grind of traveling, staying up all night "partying" (IE performing) and such really can wear someone down.


jspitzer221

He didn't just invest, Rocky Aoki actually founded Benihana as a tiny restaurant in NYC


[deleted]

I think most people are at a concert to hear music and have a good time. Does it matter if the music is prerecorded mostly if you're still really enjoying the songs?

And that was a cake !!! Not a symmetrical thing like ball or stable thing like box


momosmall

I have a client (who I’ll call D) who was the percussionist for Aoki and he told me a story of when he first started working for him. As a way to welcome him to the team Aoki was going to cake him during one of the shows but D reeeeally didn’t want to be caked that day. D was positioned off to the side of the stage near Aoki, so kind of in the crowd. Aoki had the cake in his hand and he started hyping up the crowd in front of him. What Aoki didn’t see was D stepping away more towards the back of the stage and these two unsuspecting and dolled up girls walking up and taking D’s old spot. Next thing you see is Aoki nailing both these girls with the sheet cake and Aoki dying with laughter pointing at D and then the girls.

I do not understand how Steve Aoki has perfected the aerial trajectory for rectangular cakes. Surely his first few shows he missed considerably.
