Ellen DeGeneres just jumped into a cake that was burned!
Former The Ellen DeGeneres Show host celebrated her 66th birthday on Friday — and proved she still knows how to keep up with viral trends with a very special confection.
For her birthday dessert, DeGeneres got a burn-away cake, a trendy treat that has taken the internet by storm — especially on TikTok, where #burnawaycake has garnered nearly 150 million views.
In a video the former talk show host shared on Instagram, the top layer of the cake, which read “Happy Birthday,” was lit with a lighter and slowly burned from the center outwards.

He then revealed the second part of the message, “Ellen,” as well as some balls, a nod to one of DeGeneres’ favorite activities.
“Ouch,” the comedian said as the cake burned and her loved ones – including her wife Portia de Rossi – serenaded her.
She then expressed her astonishment at the fiery treat, saying, “How do they do it?”

DeGeneres also devoted an entire post to the burnt cake — created by celebrity baker @myfairycake — showing off its sides, which were decorated not only with pickle balls, but also with pickle scoops.
“It was a wonderful birthday,” she wrote alongside the photos. “Thank you to everyone for the good wishes, especially my wife.”
The former television personality also celebrated her birthday by exercising – which De Rossi (50) proudly shared in a video on Instagram.
“Are you saying this is what 66 looks like?” DeGeneres said in the video, and De Rossi responded, “That’s what your 66 looks like.”
