The Real Housewives' Most Over-the-Top Birthday Cakes and Desserts Ever

As you can see in the clip above, the Real Housewives of every franchise love their over-the-top cakes, and Teresa Giudice is no exception. The Real Housewives of New Jersey OG has been known to celebrate her birthday — and her loved ones’ special days — with fabulous, eye-popping desserts. (More on that later!) But this year, Teresa didn’t even wait for her official birthday to have something celebratory and sweet. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey on Peacock and the Bravo app.  

In her Instagram Stories, Teresa’s eldest daughter, Gia Giudice, showed her mama holding a huge tray of desserts at a restaurant table. “Happy early birthday mommy[.] I love you beautiful,” the aspiring lawyer wrote.

The photo showed Teresa looking radiant in a sleeveless top with a silk flower on one shoulder. Teresa was clutching a silver plate plied with cheesecake, tiramisu, and chocolate desserts. Fresh strawberries, blueberries, whipped cream, and powdered sugar dotted the sweet selections. 

In her own Instagram Stories on May 17, Teresa shared a look at another birthday treat. This one was a lot less sugary. Tagging all four of her daughters in her post, the proud mom wrote, “Thank you for my beautiful flowers. Love you so much.” The photo showed off gorgeous pink, green, white, and purple blossoms. And Teresa’s pre-birthday celebrations didn’t end there. 

The RHONJ cast member later shared a peek inside a sunny pool day. Tagging Los Angeles as her location, the New Jersey native offered a look at her legs, which were languidly stretched out on a pool chair. In front of her, an aquamarine pool sparkled in the sun. Teresa also had a poolside lunch and shared a photo of her delicious-looking chopped salad.

As for those lavish birthday cakes past, Bravo fans might remember the cake from Teresa’s 50th birthday in 2022. The mother of four celebrated her milestone birthday with a gorgeous gateau from Palermo Bakery

The RHONJ-beloved spot created an over-the-top cake for Teresa that was as sparkly as it was sweet. The three-tiered gilded confection featured pink and white roses, and was topped with a handful of candles. 

And when Teresa’s husband, Luis “Louie” Ruelas, celebrated his birthday back in April, she wrangled a stunning cake from the same bakery. Louie’s cake had a navy-and-gold design and was decked with regal embellishments. The cake had a beautiful crown on top and a golden frame surrounding the letter L in the center of the cake.
