A German woman was not able to blow out her candles and make a wish, but her birthday cake served as an even better present â it saved her life.

The 26-year-old driver skidded on a snowy road and hit a tree near Freudenstadt, but walked away uninjured after landing on her homemade birthday cake, Germanyâs The Local reports.

The car was completely wrecked, The Local reports, but the woman was fine after being caught by her airbag and the cake, police said.

Wow! That is quite a story! See, we are not just cake decorators, we are life savers!

Who knew cake would make an acceptable airbag.

I thought this post was going to be about cake baking as therapy.

I know the calming effect of baking has saved my DH from a frying pan to the head a few times....

(Not that I would ever REALLY do that.)

So you are saying it's ok to literally "surround myself with cake at all times"????

Woohoo!!!

Amazing - had to have been a sponge cake.

hope the buttercream wasn't too crusted, that would have hurt
