Along with a picture with husband Richard McVey and her mother, she even included a snap of the baker and one of Riva reacting to the confection, looking comically uninterested.

She was quickly inundated with birthday wishes from fans, friends, and colleagues, with her ABC co-stars Ginger Zee, Dr. Jennifer Ashton, Amy Robach, Kit Hoover, and Sam Champion among the many to show their love.

The birthday celebration even included a reveal that the GMA anchor had taken some time away from home to fly over to London. While it is unclear whether the star is away on assignment or with family, it certainly looks like she's already having the time of her life.

While Sunday provides a day of joy and festivity for Lara, it comes soon after a bittersweet day for the mom-of-two as she witnessed her daughter Katharine "Kat" grow up right before her eyes.

Kat will soon be heading off to University, with Lara even having revealed that she'd made a verbal commitment to play lacrosse with Vanderbilt University.
