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

After a couple of pre-celebrations that included a whale cake and a cheeky "island" party, the big day finally arrived: Bethenny Frankel officially turned 50 on November 4. And to mark the milestone, The Real Housewives of New York City alum celebrated in the most "lit" possible way.

On her Instagram Stories, the Skinnygirl mogul shared the details of her two-person, two-dog bash. "Me, Bryn, Biggie, and Smallz," she said, standing in her kitchen. "This is ragin', and lit." But for sweets lovers, it was rather lit: The home birthday bash included not one, but two whimsical cakes. 

Bethenny's first cake was a cutesy treat topped with orange and yellow daisies. And for the second dessert, she had a cake covered in rainbow sprinkles and stuffed with candy. (Ever the adventurous eater, Bethenny added some ice cream to the candy-stuffed cake, making her version of "rainbow unicorn ice cream.") 

Though the cakes were fancy, the dress code was deliciously pared-back. Appearing makeup-free and wearing a cozy, oversized sweater, the birthday girl announced, "Braless birthday — it's getting hot in here." And with that, she went in for another bite of rainbow ice cream.
