Joe Rogan’s lifelike birthday cake of Sabrina Carpenter has gone viral on social media.
Newsweek reached out to Carpenter’s representative via email for comment.
The Context
Rogan currently hosts one of the most popular podcasts in the world, The Joe Rogan Experience. For years, the show—in which he interviews comedians, actors, scientists, politicians and more—is frequently in the number one spot on Spotify’s podcast charts.
The 57-year-old has been married to his wife Jessica Ditzel since 2009, the same year his podcast launched, and they have daughters Rosy and Lola together. The former Fear Factor host also adopted Kayja, Ditzel’s daughter from a previous relationship.
Carpenter got her start as an actress on the Disney Channel with shows like Girl Meets World, Phineas and Ferb and Austin and Ally. She also put out several albums under Disney’s Hollywood Records before signing with a new label, per The New York Times. The 26-year-old later opened for Taylor Swift on several occasions during her Eras Tour in 2023 and 2024 and has endured massive success with hit songs like “Espresso,” “Please Please Please” and “Feather.”
What To Know
On Tuesday, Rogan shared several photos of a birthday cake he’d had made for one of his daughters, which was of Carpenter’s face and shoulders.
“Shout out to @sideserfcakes for the incredible @sabrinacarpenter cake they made for my daughter’s birthday,” he wrote via Instagram. “Incredible delicious art!”
The cake was made by Sideserf Cake Studio’s Natalie Sideserf, who is based in Austin, Texas—where Rogan and his family live. According to the company’s Instagram bio, they make “hyperrealistic” cakes that “don’t look like cakes.”
At the time of publication, Rogan’s post racked up more than 203,400 likes and over 3,600 comments.
