“Would you do it again?” CBS4’s Lisa Petrillo asked. So it was clear James’ cake was the slam dunk, and Hickman’s cake was the rejection. That was a masterpiece to me.”Ī spokesperson for the Shelbourne released a statement Wednesday saying, “The cake was very nice, however, LeBron’s team had also commissioned their preferred purveyor (Devine Delicacies) to create an over-the-top birthday cake LeBron had no idea that there were two cakes.” They dissed something that was not easy to come up with. “Everything just sunk so I can’t believe this is happening,” Hickman said. It was an ivory-colored rum cake with gold lion’s heads from Miami’s Divine Delicacies, a company that has made cakes for Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and James, among other celebs, in the past. The next day the blogs were filled with James’ big birthday bash at SL nightclub, where he also proposed to longtime girlfriend Savannah Brinson, but there was another cake stealing the spotlight. “When I went into the dining room where I put the cake it wasn’t there and I was like I don’t get that. So Hickman said she baked and baked for almost 24 hours before hand delivering the vanilla custard cake to the hotel.īut when she came back later that night her cake was missing in action. I’m a Heat fan so I was honored to do it.” “I was so excited telling me the original person she has for the cake backed out and said, ‘Are you able to do this?’ I said, ‘Yes, I’d loved to’ and wouldn’t pass up that. Hickman said that in lieu of payment, she would get publicity for the cake and tickets to the party. Hickman, of Passion for Pastry in Boca Raton, said representatives from the Shelbourne Hotel in Miami Beach asked her to create a three-foot cake one day before the New Year’s Eve party. Hickman said she designed a Heat-red cake with edible gold dust and an edible crown on top for James’ birthday party held New Year’s Eve. It’s a cake war-a battle at bakery-all over LeBron James’ birthday cake. “This is turning into a cake war,” said pastry chef Alethea Hickman.
