Robert De Nirocelebratedhis 80th birthdaywith an epic cake that perfectly encapsulated the icon’s career.
His impressive cake was photographed as it was wheeled into the hot spot and appears to be a replica of the Greenwich Hotel with the Tribeca Screening Room inside. The dessert features a hyper realistic theater complete with stadium seating and tiny figurines most likely made of fondant. The screen inside included an edible image of De Niro smiling and fixing his tie.
The exterior facade mirrors the real-life Greenwich Hotel with red awnings, brick slabs and a large paned window. It was all finished with a “Happy 80th Birthday Bob!” message.
