Alright, let’s get into it — because “Cake Boss” Buddy Valastro just threw his chef’s hat into the celebrity wedding ring, and it’s covered in fondant and Swiftie glitter.
On Friday, Valastro, 48, took to Instagram to post a throwback photo featuring none other than Taylor Swift herself — alongside his daughter Sofia — with one of his iconic cakes. Not just any cake, mind you.
We’re talking a custom two-tier masterpiece complete with a figurine of Swift mid-performance, crafted in honor of her “Speak Now” World Tour back in 2011. That’s over a decade ago, and clearly, Buddy hasn’t forgotten the moment. Why? Because in his own words, he’s a Swiftie now.
You know who to call if you need a wedding cake, he wrote, tagging both Swift and Travis Kelce in the post, with her hauntingly gorgeous song August playing in the background like a cherry on top. And if that wasn’t enough nostalgic fanfare, the photo was actually posted first by his daughter Sofia, who included it in her end-of-summer photo carousel — just casually dropping a possible wedding cake pitch for the biggest celebrity couple in the country.
But Buddy’s not alone. Martha Stewart has also entered the chat, and in full Martha mode, she’s offering to plan the whole wedding. She posted a glamorous shot from Swift and Kelce’s engagement shoot with a video of herself sipping from a champagne flute and declaring, the nectar of the gods. That’s not just a wedding planner offer, that’s a flex.
Let’s backtrack for a second — Swift and Kelce have been quietly dating for two years, but they made things official on August 26 with a rose garden proposal and a romantic photo shoot that had fans across the internet screaming into their lavender latte foam. And yes, Swift *did* caption the photos your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married, because of course she did.
The ring? A vintage Old Mine Brilliant Cut that looks straight out of a 1930s romance movie — and reportedly worth somewhere between $675,000 and a cool million. Crafted by Artifex Fine Jewelry, it’s already got collectors talking and Swifties analyzing every angle.
Swift, who’s known for guarding personal milestones like a dragon protecting a treasure chest of song lyrics, hasn’t released much about the wedding plans. But we do know her new album, “The Life of a Showgirl”, drops October 3 — and she made the announcement in true power couple fashion: on Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast.
And just to add a little heart to all the hype, let’s not forget what Swift told “Cosmopolitan” way back in 2012, when she was just 23. She said she wanted a life with someone whose dreams mattered just as much as hers. That she didn’t want her future husband to feel like a guest at his own wedding. That building a life with someone was the most beautiful quest of all.
Now here she is, with a record-breaking career, a rock-solid relationship, a killer album on the way, and possibly a wedding cake courtesy of Buddy freaking Valastro. Only time will tell if Travis ends up taste-testing buttercream roses with the Cake Boss himself, but one thing’s clear: this wedding is shaping up to be a full-blown celebrity spectacular — with sprinkles on top.
