There’s nothing like a good cake,And no one knows that better than celebrities! Whether they’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary or other big accomplishment, stars including Jennifer Lopez and Kelly RipaYou must understand the importance and beauty of a confection that is wow-worthy.
Take the “Ain’t Your Mama” singer, for example. Her 50th birthday celebration on Star Island in Miami, July 2019 was a real show-stopper. The 10 tiers of the cake were exquisitely decorated. Each tier featured black and gold accents, but we’re not talking about just any metallic hue — Lopez’s festive dessert sported some expensive 24-karat gold embellishments.
As if that wasn’t impressive enough, the Grammy nominee’s lavish, towering pastry was also bedazzled with Swarovski crystals and featured an edible flower design as well as several sparklers at the base. Lopez’s cake needed to be carried into the venue by five men and reportedly cost a cool $10,000.
Ripa was surprised by the cake during an October 2018 episode. Live with Kelly and Ryan wasn’t quite as extravagant, the large pastry, which was designed to look like a humungous peanut butter and jelly sandwich, was arguably just as impressive. Ripa was surprised by her host for giving her the treat on her 48th Birthday. Ryan Seacrest. It was so large that it broke records.
“I spent the whole year hearing about Kelly having PB&J in her bed,” Seacrest told the audience at the time, explaining why he chose such an interesting treat. “Her husband [Mark Consuelos] would bring these in, they would eat them and now, this is the world’s largest.”
According to the television personality, the “bread” of this larger-than-life creation was made of pound cake, while a generous helping of peanut butter and jelly rested in the middle. Michael Lechowicz (a Brooklyn-based pastry chef) created the treat. Charlotte Patisserie is a bakery that specializes creating unique and themed desserts.
And if you think stars only trot out fancy confections when they’re marking another trip around the sun, think again!
