Malala Yousafzai, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning woman who survived being shot by the Taliban, posted a picture of herself smiling out from beneath a layer of icing and confetti to celebrate the completion of her philosophy, politics and economic degree.
Cake is one of the more pleasant things she's had thrown her way.
In case anyone is wondering she's just been "trashed" in this picture. "Trashing" is an oxford uni tradition (might be other unis as well, not sure) where when you finish your exams your friends meet you when you come out of the exam schools and do their best to make sure you can never make the clothes you are wearing wearable again. (A slight exaggeration perhaps, but not far from the truth.) Normally people stick to things like silly string, shaving cream, confetti, champagne etc., but I've seen some pretty horrible things being used. For example, I saw one guy get a whole dead octopus fresh from the fishmonger thrown at him when he came out of his exams.
