Ellen DeGeneres, the former host of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, celebrated her 66th birthday in a unique and trendy way. Jumping on the burn-away cake bandwagon, DeGeneres opted for a special confection that has been taking the internet by storm. This viral trend, known as the burn-away cake, has gained popularity on platforms like TikTok, with the hashtag #burnawaycake amassing nearly 150 million views.
In a video shared on Instagram, DeGeneres showcased her burn-away cake. The top layer of the cake, which had the words 'Happy Birthday' written on it, was lit with a lighter and slowly burned off from the center outward. As the flames consumed the top layer, it revealed the second part of the message, which read 'Ellen,' along with several pickleballs – a nod to one of DeGeneres' favorite activities.
