In traditional Queen Bee style, Beyonce celebrated her birthday recently with a cake to top them all.
On Wednesday, Philly-based Cake Life Bake Shop shared a photo via Instagram of a stunning, multi-tiered black and gold geode cake, and two smaller, yet equally delicious looking, birthday cakes. All three cakes were adorned with small details of crown and bee cookies — a truly custom cake for pop music royalty.
The largest cake was honey lavender-flavored, covered in black fondant. White and yellow sugar crystals were perfectly placed to create the illusion of a sparkling geode. The three tiers were then topped with a gold crown fit for a queen — reminiscent of the headpiece the singer wore during the 2017 Grammy Awards.
According to Philly Mag, the bake shop had no idea who the cake was for, until the shop co-owner, Lily Fischer, did some digging and traced the order to one of her favorite musicians.
“It was pretty amazing,” Fischer said. “Everyone knows that I love Beyonce … pretty much the whole week we just blasted Beyonce.”
Fischer said the shop was given creative freedom with the design of Beyonce’s birthday cake, and the shop’s head chef, Rebecca Craig, got to work making a “classy and cool” design.
The “Lemonade” singer’s birthday celebration happened at Philadelphia’s Budweiser Made in America Festival, founded by her husband, Jay-Z.
While the shop didn’t disclose how much Beyonce’s birthday cake cost, they hinted that it was “a pretty penny.”
Unfortunately, Fischer and Craig did not get to meet the Queen. But the cakes looked so incredible, maybe Beyonce will call upon the shop again in the future.
