A cake decorator in Louisiana, USA has become an internet sensation after an unexpected incident involving a high-value custom birthday cake that was ordered in advance but ended in an unforgettable way.

The cake was worth approximately 600 US dollars, or about 19,700 baht, designed to serve around 75 guests for a female customer's boyfriend's birthday party. However, on the day the cake was ready for delivery, the customer decided to cancel the entire event after suspecting her boyfriend of infidelity, making the large cake unnecessary.

Instead of picking up the cake, the customer asked the baker to "destroy" it on video and offered an additional 100 dollars, or roughly 3,300 baht, as payment for filming the destruction. But the situation took an unexpected turn.

The baker chose a more dramatic and attention-grabbing method, opting to set the cake on fire rather than simply destroying it, and posted the video to Instagram where it went viral instantly. In the clip, the cake decorator also made pointed comments about the birthday boy and offered birthday wishes mixed with criticism of his infidelity, directly naming him and saying, "We don't keep cheaters like this in our lives!"

She later clarified that the customer was the cardholder and her direct employer, that all actions were performed per the customer's request, and that payment had no legal issues. The baker noted she understood the customer's feelings, and the incident reflected a dramatic relationship breakdown where the expensive cake became merely "flames" amid a collapsed relationship.

After the video was released, the online world offered varied reactions. Some viewed it as a symbolic and painful way to "close a relationship," while others questioned the appropriateness of destroying such an expensive cake. One user commented they had never seen a cake burned before but now could check it off their list. Another joked about the customer's satisfaction being "12/10," while another remarked, "You are my hero, and I never knew cakes could catch fire!"

An 18-year-old man used doctored photos to impersonate a government official and deceived poor families into housing construction schemes, then vanished with 400,000 baht in funds collected from village committees.

On May 20, 2025, residents of Chaokhemmak Subdistrict in Prakon Chai District, Buriram Province filed complaints that multiple poor families were suffering severely. Village committees had demolished their deteriorating homes with the intention of rebuilding them using Community Organizations Development Institute funds, but an unknown man had fraudulently obtained 400,000 baht from the village committee, leaving the poor families homeless.

Samruan Pathumrat, 70, one of the affected residents, explained that the village committee had initially approached her about building a new home funded by the institute at approximately 35,000 baht per house. She was delighted at the prospect of a new home after living in poverty for so long. The committee demolished her old house and even had foundation posts installed, but then everything went silent. Now, more than four months later, she remains homeless with no shelter.

Niwan Suepdi, 60, a neighboring resident, recounted that about five months earlier, a young person claiming to be Jetrin, secretary of the Community Organizations Development Institute (Public Organization), approached her house. This individual spoke eloquently and claimed the institute would build new homes for poor families across several villages.

Later, it was discovered that this so-called Jetrin had contacted village committees claiming he would oversee the housing project, but the committees needed to submit documentation to the institute under the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security's Buriram office. After the committees provided evidence and received cash, Jetrin insisted on managing all the funds himself. The trusting committees agreed because of his persuasive manner, but he disappeared with the money.

The committees were shocked to learn that Jetrin was only 18 years old, yet he had managed to find the correct organization and successfully deceive multiple village committees. They were particularly distressed for the elderly residents who had even contributed 7,000 baht from their senior citizen stipends to the project.

At 11:30 AM on May 20, 2025, the Student and Civil Society Network for Thai Reforms submitted a letter to Nathpong Ruengpanyavutti, leader of the opposition Democratic Party in the House of Representatives, and to the Democrat, Thai Loyal, and Free Thai parties, requesting them to compile signatures and submit the matter to the Supreme Court for establishment of an independent investigation committee to examine the National Anti-Corruption Commission's (NACC) handling of the dismissal of a complaint against former Transport Minister Sak Siam in a stock manipulation case.

Dr. Wayo Aswinrungwong, Democrat Party list MP and deputy party leader, stated that the complaint is still being prepared and will likely be submitted to the House Speaker by early June. He explained that new factual evidence and citizen input have been incorporated into the document. The facts being presented include settled matters and evidence from the NACC's own investigation process, as well as concerns about the time the NACC took to consider the case.

Aswinrungwong emphasized that the NACC's role is not to adjudicate cases but to investigate and forward findings to court, functioning only as an investigative officer. He stated: "Given the Constitutional Court's ruling suggesting sufficient grounds exist, when facts have merit, the NACC should submit them to court for judicial determination, as the NACC cannot be a judge except by dismissing charges."

He added that a separate new complaint is being prepared regarding audio clips of former House Speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha, which were previously submitted and dismissed before parliament's dissolution.

Satit Wongnongtui, Democrat Party list MP and deputy leader, confirmed his party has consistently monitored the case and will submit a separate legal complaint to the NACC regarding unresolved aspects of Sak Siam's case. The network has also requested tax collection follow-up on Shin Corporation shares held by former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

Dr. Vorawich Dechkijwikrom, Thai Loyal Party leader, stated that protecting national interests is their priority and despite having limited parliamentary votes, they are prepared to support beneficial measures for the people. General Seree Pisuthsen, Free Thai Party list MP, indicated the party's readiness to support the initiative.

Erling Haaland, Manchester City's star striker, has vowed to do everything in his power to reclaim the Premier League title next season following Arsenal's triumph this year.

Manchester City's hopes of retaining the championship were officially dashed after they drew 1-1 with Bournemouth, leaving them on 78 points from 37 matches, trailing Arsenal by four points with only one game remaining.

Following the match, Haaland declared his determination to bring the title back to the Etihad next season, particularly as it has been two years since City last won it. "In the end, every game in the Premier League is difficult," Haaland said. "We tried, but it wasn't enough. Now the entire club should use this as motivation. We should be angry, we should be determined, because this isn't good enough.

"It's been two years now, and it feels like an eternity. We will do everything we can. Everyone here next season will work together to win the league."

The Norwegian striker also congratulated Arsenal midfielder Martin Ødegaard and fellow Norwegians on clinching the title. "When you accumulate the most points, you deserve to win the league," Haaland said. "Congratulations to Martin—he deserves this trophy. It's hard to watch him lift the Premier League trophy, but it's something special when a Norwegian gets to hold that cup."
