This Thursday, March 14, the princely couple celebrated the sovereign’s 66th birthday with a giant cake with a slightly odd silhouette.
Happy birthday Monsignù!. This Thursday, March 14, Prince Albert of Monaco celebrated his 66th birthday on the balcony of the royal palace. The Royal Family obliges, the teams responsible for making Monseigneur’s cake saw the big picture. Too big? Seeing the result, some almost expected his wife, Charlene, to emerge from the gorgeous layered cake. But the princess was by the side of the prince and their two children, Jacques and Gabriella, 10.
Cake…fake
If we could believe the surprise cake worthy of Debbie Reynolds in the legendary musical Singing in the rain, it’s primarily because the cake is unapologetically kitsch. It consists of 8 floors, decorated with the colors of the Monegasque flag, the monogram of a famous person and the Monegasque inscription “Happy birthday Monsignù! This “dessert monster” is actually fake. Concealed behind the cardboard pastry craft, the actual cake, meant to be savored by the many Monegasques gathered at the foot of the palace, was actually a more traditional cake without layers. On the notes of a military song It’s a long way to Tipperary, Accompanied by the Carabinieri Band, the Prince cut the iconic piece before greeting the crowd and leaving with his family. Maybe to enjoy… a cake.
