The light pink cake featured peonies. This was a favorite of Ptak, 43, and it was nearly identical in design to the wedding cake that Harry, 37 and Meghan made in May 2018.

Ptak captioned the pink cupcake with a white heart emoji on Saturday.

“Absolutely beautiful for a precious little Princess 💕,” one presumptive commenter wrote.

“Frilly,” Ptak captioned the snap. Many noted how “frilly” rhymes with Lili.

“My guess is Lili’s smash cake. It is beautiful. Lucky family that received this cake regardless,” one viewer noted.
