Drew Barrymore marked the big 5-0 on Saturday, February 22, and chose to celebrate the big day with an entire week-long special on her talk show.
In honor of the milestone, The Drew Barrymore Show had a week of little celebrations peppered into the show, culminating in a birthday show the day before on Friday.
One of the sweetest moments from the entire week came courtesy of the actress' two daughters, 12-year-old Olive and 10-year-old Frankie. She shares her daughters with ex-husband Will Kopelman.
Drew's friends Valerie Bertinelli and Amirah Kassem came out with two exploding birthday cakes in her honor, with the tall cakes cutting open to reveal an avalanche of sprinkles.
Amirah, the founder of Flour Shop, revealed that she wanted to create two cakes inspired by her love for her girls, and it turns out that both pieces were designed by none other than Frankie and Olive.
Drew choked up upon seeing them and remarked especially on how much they contrasted from each other, with Frankie designing a white and baby pink cake covered with flower drawings, while Olive went for a bombastic rainbow design, with the colors radiating outwards.

Amirah explained that the notes were also in little vials inside the cakes for her to take home, and noted that each layer, each sprinkle, each element of the cake was designed by the girls themselves. "They were so specific about which colors, which sprinkles, the full design was brought to life by them."

Amirah took to her own social media page to showcase some of the process that went into the making of the cake, sharing detailed looks at the girls' designs as well.
