LeBron James celebrated his 27th birthday on New Year’s Eve by proposing to his longtime girlfriend, Savannah Brinson, at the Shelborne Beach Resort in Miami Beach, Florida.

According to SPLASH News, this is the cake that was made for NBA player Lebron James’ 27th birthday. The call was made 2 days before the party. The instructions: make a birthday cake that is fit for a King. The baker, Alethea Hickman, (pictured above with her royal creation) was promised publicity for her bakery Hickman’s Passion for Pastry. The Shelborne would receive the $3,000 cake as a freebie in exchange.

But Hickman was surprised to see a different cake in photos tweeted worldwide on Twitter.com on Jan. 1. After getting in touch with James’ people, Hickman was told her work wasn’t fit for the king: “It just wasn’t what was expected. When LeBron’s people saw it, they just didn’t want to use it and decided to bring their own cake.”
