Jenny Han marked her 45th birthday with a nod to The Summer I Turned Pretty as fans spotted Jeremiah’s iconic mirror glaze cake at her celebration.
TSITP showrunner Jenny Han celebrated her birthday with a mirror glaze cake.
The Summer I Turned Pretty creator Jenny Han celebrated her 45th birthday in true starry style, with a guest list that included Hollywood favourites Lauren Graham, Ali Wong, and Bill Hader. But what caught the attention of eagle-eyed fans online was not just the celebrity crowd, it was the cake.
On Instagram, Han shared a carousel of photos from her big day. While she enjoyed a classic white crumble cake adorned with a heart-shaped candle, fans quickly noticed another sweet detail. In one snapshot, Han was seen savoring a mini dark chocolate cake with raspberry coulis filling and a glossy mirror glaze on top.
For devoted TSITP fans, this wasn’t just any dessert. It was a playful nod to Jeremiah Fisher’s much-discussed wedding cake from the show’s third and final season.
The Mirror Glaze Cake Connection
In the series, adapted from Han’s best-selling trilogy, Belly (Lola Tung) navigates a love triangle between brothers Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno). A standout scene from the final season sees Belly and Jeremiah bickering over their wedding budget.
Jeremiah insists on a “two-tier dark chocolate cake with raspberry coulis filling and a mirror glaze,” only to be quoted $750 for the indulgent dessert. When Belly suggests a single-tier milk chocolate version instead, Jeremiah passionately defends his choice, saying, “The whole flavour profile depends on the bitterness of the dark chocolate and the sweet tartness of the raspberry.”
This cake debate quickly became a fan-favorite moment, sparking playful discussions online about Jeremiah’s taste and how it symbolised his relationship with Belly. Though the wedding never happened, the mirror glaze cake lived on as a quirky detail that TSITP lovers never forgot.
Fans React to Jenny Han’s Sweet Detail
So when Han was spotted with the very same dessert at her birthday, fans lit up social media with comments. “Ohh so Jenny you are the two-tiered mirror glaze with raspberry Stan 😍,” one user joked. Another quipped, “Was this the $700 cake Jeremiah wouldn’t shut up about?”
The gesture was seen as Han’s cheeky way of keeping the fandom engaged long after the show wrapped. For viewers still divided over Team Conrad versus Team Jeremiah, the cake was a sweet reminder of how deeply her storytelling resonates — right down to the desserts.
