You star Penn Badgley celebrated his 35th birthday on Monday, November 1, with a fresh pastry. Moreover, his special birthday cakes obviously had to honor his murderous character from You, after season three was released on Netflix. The actor’s wife, musician Domino Kirke Badgley took to her Instagram story to share the multiple fruity birthday pastries she gave to Penn for his big day.
The custom confections by baker Stacy-Ann Douge were shaped like the number ’35’ and treated with berries, pomegranate seeds, flowers, figs, gold flakes, French macarons, and other decadent goodies. However, this is not the real showstopper. The edible toppings were notable as it features pictures of his You character in action, including images of Joe in a baseball cap and snooping out from behind a corner to spy on his next victim.
Domino’s cake also recreated posters of the Netflix show, featuring co-star Victoria Pedretti, who plays baker Love on the series. It seems Penn’s birthday treats came straight from the display cases of her beloved bakery, A Fresh Tart. “I love eating my husband’s face,” Domino wrote on Instagram, sharing a clip of the amazing gift. She included the show’s theme song while sharing the two ’35’ tarts, which had the message, “Happy Birthday Penn.”
Meanwhile, Penn dedicated an emotional Instagram post to Domino the following day. On November 2, he shared her latest musical work on social media, praising his longtime love for her “gorgeous vid” about her “experience with miscarriage.” As Penn wrote, “I am blown away by what a vulnerable, timeless work of art she’s made.”
Later, Domino shared more details about her Mercy project earlier this week. She began in her explanation of the music video, “After the procedure, I reached for the woman’s hand sitting next to me in the recovery room.” She continues, “We both lost babies around the same time. She was surprised when she felt my touch, but she didn’t let go. I told her we would be ok. We would try again when we felt ready, as though she and I were going to try and conceive.”
The artist, who gave birth to the couple’s first child last year, added, “This song was fueled by the hum of hormones still flooding my body, written while I was still bleeding. Written while I was still longing. I wrote this so I could attempt to push the evidence out of me. Evidence that couldn’t leave fast enough.”
