On Wednesday, Dec. 13, Taylor Swift's 34th birthday was celebrated at The Box in New York City. The party was attended by the singer's close friends and family, including Hollywood A-listers Blake Lively, Sabrina Carpenter, and Jack Antonoff. Swift's birthday desires were fulfilled with a delectable Milk Bar Birthday cake with three layers of funfetti vanilla cake, creamy vanilla frosting, and Milk Bar's famous Cake Truffles.
With her birthday cake selection, Swift, who has previously asserted that she is a member of the millennial generation, clearly leaned into her generational pride. For those unfamiliar with it, Christina Tosi's Milk Bar debuted in New York City in 2008 as a component of David Chang's Momofuku restaurant. Milk Bar, which is no longer associated with Momofuku by name, has expanded to have more than ten locations around the United States.
When Swift moved to New York City in the middle of the 2010s, it had its moment. According to the pop star, the finest birthday cake she's ever had was from Milk Bar, which she mentioned in an interview with Vogue in 2016.
Customers interested in buying the birthday cake, which costs $62 for the 6-inch size and $140 for the 10-inch size, aside from the charge for delivery, can schedule the cake for local delivery or have it transported to their house. A gluten-free version is also available for purchase. Accordingly, if you apply the code "SWIFTIE" right now, you will receive a discount of 13% on the cake for a limited time only.

How Are Milk Bars Made?
The confetti effect of the milk bar cake is what gives it the name 'nostalgically sweet' on the website. During an interview, Anna McGorman, the Vice President of Culinary at Milk Bar, provided some information regarding the preparation process. It was revealed that the inspiration for the recipe came from a confetti cake mix. She also stated that it was critical to grasp where we and the world were beginning to improve and reassess following developments.
The Birthday Cake is reportedly a buttery, fluffy, and sprinkle-studded confection that has been drenched liberally with clear vanilla extract and spiked with whole milk. She further explained that the frosting's purpose is to achieve balance with a slight tanginess, gained through buttermilk powder/citric acid and cream cheese, whereas the fragments contribute to the cake's richness and texture. Thus, whether we are millennials or not, this sounds like the cake of our wildest fantasies.
On the other hand, on Sunday, Dec. 17, Swift's father, Scott, shared his daughter's birthday cake with a group in the luxury suite next door to Taylor's during the Kansas City Chiefs vs. New England Patriots game. To celebrate her birthday, Taylor was present to show her support for her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
The adorable video was uploaded to TikTok by Shannen Moen. As mentioned, as soon as Scott entered the suite, he brought a nude cake with six layers and placed it on the table for everyone to enjoy. Following that, he conversed with the group before directing their attention to Taylor, who greeted them with a chuckle and a smile over the glass partition.
