Blake Shelton recently rang in his 44th birthday with what might possibly be the coolest cake of all time.
The superstar turned 44 on Thursday (June 18) and celebrated with a giant tractor cake that appeared to be gifted to him from Smithworks Vodka. The entire cake was shaped like a piece of Farmall farm equipment and was adorned with miniature versions of Blake and his longtime girlfriend, Gwen Stefani.
“Damn y’all! Thanks for all the birthday love and wishes,” Shelton wrote on Instagram after his birthday celebration. “And thank you @smithworksvodka for keeping the party going… Cheers y’all!”
Stefani marked the occasion with a sweet Instagram post honoring her boyfriend. “Happy birthday @blakeshelton thank u for being my best friend,” she wrote.
Shelton has something else to celebrate as he and Ryman Hospitality Properties Inc. recently opened a brand new Ole Red location in Orlando, Florida. Ole Red Orlando opened its doors June 19 and features 17,289-square-foot of food and entertainment space. Open now in ICON Park, Ole Red features a made-from-scratch, Shelton-inspired menu with Ole Red signature items, specialty cocktails, an extensive selection of beer and wine and Orlando-only specialties.
