Joe Rogan celebrates daughter's birthday with ‘delicious' Sabrina Carpenter cake; netizens react: ‘This is scary'
'Is it real or cake?' — the viral question that's become a staple of Internet curiosity usually applies to shoes, furniture, or even household items. But things just got taken to a whole new level. This time, it wasn't just a cake shaped like an object, it was a full-blown hyper-realistic cake of pop star Sabrina Carpenter. UFC commentator and podcast giant Joe Rogan revealed the cake.
In a move that surprised fans and followers alike, Rogan posted photos of the cake that looked strikingly like the Espresso singer. It wasn't a joke or a deepfake, it was an actual cake. For his daughter's birthday, Rogan commissioned the life-like confection from Sideserf Cake Studio, a bakery known for its mind-blowing creations.
'Shout out to @sideserfcakes for the incredible @sabrinacarpenter cake they made for my daughter's birthday. Incredible delicious art!' he wrote in the caption. And just like that, the Internet exploded.

As usual, reactions were mixed. Some were amazed by the attention to detail. Others, not so much. Comments ranging from admiration to confusion, and straight-up roasting, came in. One person said, 'This is easily one of the weirdest things Rogan has ever posted. I legitimately thought that was Hilary Clinton. It barely looks like Sabrina.'
Another user wrote, 'Sabrina should get a Joe Rogan cake for her Dad's birthday.'
A third person commented, 'Sabrina carpenter cake posted by joe rogan was not on my bingo card.'
And then there were those who just found the whole thing… well, unsettling. 'Kinda cryptic,' one fan wrote. A few couldn't unsee the odd expression on the cake's face, especially the eyes, which drew some mockery.
In 2024, Rogan surprised his followers by posting a clip of Carpenter's hit track Espresso on his social media. Given that Rogan rarely shares clips other than his podcast, the shoutout stood out. At the time, the song was dominating charts and conversations globally. The song not only topped the Billboard Global 200 and climbed to number three on the Billboard Hot 100, but it also earned Carpenter her first MTV VMA win, taking home the coveted Song of the Year award.
