Melissa Gorga Celebrated Her Birthday With the Most Glamorous Cake (PICS)

Melissa Gorga's birthday cake was a unique stunner, decked in gold and succulents.

Here's one cake that most definitely shouldn't be smashed — um, even if baby-style smash cakes are trending. To celebrate her birthday on March 24, The Real Housewives of New Jersey pal Melissa Gorga blew out the candles on a gorgeous confection swathed in a robe of pure white frosting. And, as with all things cake-related, we had to take a closer look. 

How to Watch

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

The cake in question appeared in an Instagram post from fellow Jersey 'Wife Margaret Josephs, who posted a photo of herself and the birthday girl. The two ladies looked delighted to be in front of Melissa's birthday dessert, and we can't blame them. Frankly, we want in on this beautifully designed treat, too.

Take a peek, and be sure to scroll through the photos below to see the cake's close-up glamour shot! 

Decorated with sugar succulents, edible geodes, and gold piping, the custom dessert was by whipped up Melissa Alt Cakes.

And in case you're curious, we have no reason to believe that the cake suffered the same abuse as Melissa's 2017 birthday dessert. (Watch the clip above to refresh your memory.) Siggy Flickers everywhere may now wipe their brows.
