If you think that he was just challenging himself for some obscure culinary skill by redecorating a cake on a plane, then you’re wrong. It was an act of genuine kindness. As it turns out, he learnt that a crew member of the plane was retiring.
As a gesture of goodwill and gratitude, he redid the cake that was going to be presented to the crew member. No doubt, the crew member will remember it for the rest of his life. An X (formerly, Twitter) user recorded a video of him attempting to redecorate the cake.
