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

It's no secret that  Teresa Giudice goes all out when it comes to celebratory cakes, but for her daughter Gabriella Giudice's 16th birthday, The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member had an unexpected confection created for the occasion. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 premiere May 5th at 8/9c on Bravo and stream next day on Peacock.

While birthday cakes for the family members are often colorful (as seen with Teresa's blue ombré 48th birthday cake, Gia Giudice's purple floral cake, and Milania Giudice's orange-and-silver music-themed cake), for Gabriella's special day, Teresa turned to her go-to bakery, Palermo, to create a nearly all-black cake. The fault line cake, topped with a sparkly "16," also featured a red crevice bordered by splattered gold. Although the cake was a departure from the typical vibrant desserts the family tends to celebrate with, it perfectly matched the black-and-red color scheme for Gabriella's birthday fete. 

During a smaller family celebration, the teenager was presented with another incredible cake. The white dessert topped with red roses had a sweet message written in icing that read, "Happy Sweet 16th Birthday Gabriella!!"

Last month, Teresa showed off another one of Palermo's creations for her youngest daughter Audriana's 11th birthday. The dessert featured two incredibly detailed tiers, one of which was covered in pink rose petals while the other was decked out with gold sugar pearls.
