Delhi parents order 96 cakes to celebrate son's 96% in Class 12, netizens ask: ‘Ab itna cake khaayega kaun?'

While exam celebrations are common, this particular one has caught public attention due to its scale and symbolism. It also reflects the growing trend of extravagant displays on social media tied to academic achievements. The incident became a talking point among parents, students, and education observers.

In Delhi’s Kamla Nagar, a student’s exam result celebration has gone viral. Yash Arora, a commerce stream student, scored 96% in the CBSE Class 12 board exams. To mark the occasion, his parents ordered 96 cakes—one for each percentage point. The cakes were ordered via the magicpin app and delivered by Cakezone, whose staff were reportedly stunned by the bulk order.

Celebration draws attention online

The family’s unique way of celebrating sparked a wave of reactions on social media. Photos and videos of the cake delivery circulated widely, with users expressing both amusement and surprise.


One user wrote, “Wow! I got 33%.”
Another commented, “I got 40 slaps.”
Someone joked, “Ab itna cake khaayega kaun?”
A fourth user said, “Poor Cakezone staff probably thought someone was opening a bakery next door.”

Some even joked that Yash now qualifies to rent a house in Bengaluru, saying, “That’s the minimum cutoff.”

When quiet support means more than marks

In another story shared online, a Reddit user posted a screenshot of a WhatsApp chat with his father after scoring 84% in the Class 12 exams. The father’s calm response, simply saying “Good,” resonated with many users and highlighted how parental acceptance can be more meaningful than any score.

Many Reddit users shared emotional experiences about the stress of revealing results to parents. One student recalled how his mother calmly said, “Achha result hai, ye bilkul bura nahi hai,” which brought him relief. Later, his father congratulated him over a video call and said, “Beta, bohot bohot badhai ho 12th pass karne pe.” The father’s emphasis on effort rather than marks left a lasting impression.
