Birthdays in Bollywood are an elaborate affair. Friends, family, glamour, music and exotic locales are often a part of these special days. But all of this is incomplete without some birthday cakes. Ace designer Manish Malhotra turned 55 on December 5 and his birthday celebration had all the glitz and glamour that it needed. The designer cut into three cakes and we couldn't help but drool over them. The centrepiece cake was a mouth-watering chocolaty treat that was made to resemble the number '55'. The table also showcased two other cakes. One was a chocolate delight with milk chocolate embellishments on the top and the side. The other was glazed with white cream and decorated with berries.
