One of the most touching moments of the week came from Drew’s daughters, 12-year-old Olive and 10-year-old Frankie, whom she shares with ex-husband Will Kopelman.
Drew’s pals, Valerie Bertinelli and Amirah Kassem, surprised her with two cakes that dramatically burst open with sprinkles Both cakes were designed by Drew’s own daughters, Frankie and Olive. Frankie’s was a soft pink and white cake decorated with flowers, while Olive’s featured a bold and colorful rainbow design. Drew was clearly moved by the gesture, noting how the cakes were so different from one another, yet so special.
Drew’s daughters also wrote heartfelt letters to her, which she read aloud with emotion, finding their formal tone amusing. Frankie ended her letter with “Best Wishes,” while Olive started hers with “Dearest Mother.” Amirah, who runs the Flour Shop Instagram page, crafted the cake with the girls. About the process, Amirah said: “They were so specific about which colours, which sprinkles, the full design was brought to life by them.” Drew exclaimed: “This is so special!”
