Alex Ovechkin’s birthday party was a gigantic event and his cake was no different.
Standing several feet tall, the birthday cake features the Ovechkin family standing on the Stanley Cup. Alex, Nastya, Sergei, and Baby Ilya, appear to be made out of clay or a fondant icing. Sergei is holding a hockey stick.
The base of the cake features printout photos of Ovechkin and his family.
Dmitry Orlov’s Stanley Cup day was shorter than originally planned. The championship trophy’s arrival was delayed six hours after a travel snafu. But that doesn’t mean Orlov didn’t have a great experience.
On Instagram, Orlov called his time with the Stanley Cup “one of the best and most memorable days of my life!” The Russian defenseman shared the trophy with his hometown community of Novokuznetsk, signing autographs and taking photos in front of the city’s ferris wheel.
He also threw a private party where he revealed an extravagant Stanley Cup cake that rivaled Alex Ovechkin’s.
Tuesday, Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby celebrated his day with the Stanley Cup by bringing the championship trophy back to his old stomping grounds in Saskatchewan. Holtby visited his family’s farm in Marshall and brought the Cup to the CN SportsPlex in Lashburn where his youth hockey team used to play.
Later in the afternoon, Brandi Holtby commemorated her husband’s accomplishment by presenting him with a cake masterfully prepared and designed by her cousin.
It’s a replica Stanley Cup featuring Holtby’s name as well as the Capitals’ weagle logo.
Alex Ovechkin lives his life simply. He wears Nike shirts and sweatpants for almost any occasion. He spends his free time playing video games and grilling. But when the Russian machine goes big, he goes to a level that’s absurd.
Which is why I need to show you his Stanley Cup cake.
