      I probably shouldn’t encourage this sort of question! A bomb required gases to expand very quickly. Usually this will only happen if something burns very quickly. Because cream can be aerated, it could be put under pressure (as in a can of squirty cream) and then the pressure released very quickly (by breaking the can open). As a bomb it would be more messy than destructive!
