Aoki has become known for his cake-throwing antics, covering crowds that attend his DJ sets in dessert since 2011. He’s come under controversy through the years for the stunt, but has defended so-called “caking”, saying that it is a “tool of expression” in his live shows.

More recently, he employed the tactic for his child’s gender reveal. The DJ surprised fans during a gig at Barasti Beach in Dubai on Sunday (January 26) by welcoming his wife on stage and announcing they were having a baby.

He then slams his face into the cake which turns out to have blue frosting inside, as a screen behind the stage read “It’s a boy!”.

Aoki shared the moment on Twitter/X, calling it “the most important cake of my life”. Check it out below.
