Wonderful 90-year-old's Cake Smash Video Will Make You Feel Young Again

Live everyday like you're turning 90.

Brigitte Godwin, a photographer from Australia, posted an adorable video on Facebook last week for her grandmother's 90th birthday. It features Brigitte's nan having the time of her life donning a tiara, drinking French champagne, and taking part in a very eloquent cake smash.

It's impossible not to giggle along with the bday queen as she struggles to get through "Cheers Bitches" with a straight face.

Mashable Top Stories

It's no surprise that since being uploaded the video has received a lot of positive attention from people who just can't get enough of her youthful energy.

The entire setup was a complete surprise to the birthday girl who thought she was going out to lunch with her grandkids. According to Brigitte, this was her nan's first time wearing a tutu, eating red velvet cake, and drinking French champagne.

You're never too old to experience new things and do so with style.

Honestly, it looks like she had a better time than most of us on our 21st birthday. Brigitte definitely scored lots of grandkid points for this one.

Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Celebrate Archie's First Birthday With A 'Smash Cake And Zooms'

Archie's first birthday is also his first Zoom birthday — and it will be a messy one!

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are marking their son's milestone on Wednesday in their new L.A. Home with a traditional "smash cake" — no fork needed! — and remote celebrations amid the ongoing social isolation guidelines.

"They are celebrating as a family focused on Archie and being together," a source tells PEOPLE. "They'll have a smash cake and Zooms with family and friends. It's been beautiful weather, so perhaps a family stroll with the dogs."

Meghan and Harry also shared a video of Archie to honor his birthday. The video supports @SaveWithStories campaign in the U.S. And @SaveChildrenUK in the U.K. To help kids who have been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Save With Stories was created by Jen Garner and Amy Adams in March.

In the video taken by Harry, Meghan reads one of Archie's favorite books, Duck! Rabbit! By Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Tom Lichtenheld.

Archie turns to the first page of the book as he sits on his mom's lap in the video. "Let's go to the next page, look Arch!" Meghan says as Archie grins, showing off his bottom teeth. At one point, he picks up another book from the floor and playfully throws it back down, drawing laughs from Harry.

A source recently told PEOPLE of Archie, "He is super active! He is definitely keeping them busy and brings a lot of joy."


Chocolate Pop Smash Cake

I have had a few disasters with pinata-style smash cakes in the past. It's those jolly thin melted chocolate ones that stubbornly won't come out of the bowl or end up cracking into several pieces. I prefer this Coco Pop version which, at the eleventh hour, is failsafe to tip out. You can fill it and decorate it with just about anything, for anyone — young or old.

Ingredients200 gDark chocolate buttons, plus some extra to melt for securing lollies to the cake (Main)80 gButter2 TbspHoney4 cupsCoco Pops (Main)1 bagLollies, use a large bage of SmartiesDirections
  • Lightly grease a medium-sized bowl with rice bran oil or baking spray.
  • In a medium-sized pot gently melt the chocolate, butter and honey over a low heat. Stir until smooth then take off the heat, add Coco Pops and mix well then leave to cool a little. Tip into the greased bowl and use the back of a spoon to press the mixture into the base and sides. Place in the fridge to set hard.
  • To remove the chocolate shell fill a large bowl with hot water, dip the medium bowl in for a few seconds then use a knife to loosen the shell and tip out.
  • Pile up some Smarties on a serving dish or dinner plate, then place chocolate shell over the top.
  • To decorate, stick Smarties around the outside of the shell. Dip the smarties into a little melted chocolate to help them stick to the shell.

    bok choy :: Article Creator 'She Says It Like She's Trying Not To Laugh.' Everett (@everett.Toy) is cracking TikTok up after showcasing some of the curious pronunciation and diction mannerisms of a robotic self-checkout machine's voice at Stop & Shop, a retailer that's no stranger to implementing robotic help in its stores. One of his more recent posts shows him buying yams. Viewers are tickled pink with the "aggressive" manner in which the grocery store's self-service system calls out the produce. "Okay the self checkout voice saying 'YAM' is kinda aggressive," Everett writes in a text overlay of the TikTok, which shows him processing the sale of a yam on the self-checkout machine. He leaves it on the automatic register's scale until a robotic voice shouts, "Move your…YAMS" The TikToker, chuckling, grabs the vegetable and places it into a bag ...

    new york times cooking :: Article Creator BBQ Pepper Shrimp, Warm Baguette, Green Salad: Happy Friday Good morning. The ospreys are returning to their winter-ravaged nests near my home waters this week, after long passage from South America, a sure sign of spring. The striped bass will show up behind them, looking for food in the shallows up in the back bays and estuaries. I'll rig a fly rod and go look for them, under the birds' watchful glare. It's early yet, though. The water's in the low 40s and the trees on the shore are bare. The fishing's imaginary right now, at least for me. I'll still think about it all weekend in the kitchen, though, as I cook. On the menu for Saturday night: this lovely BBQ pepper shrimp (above) that Korsha Wilson adapted from a recipe of Tim McNulty's, used at his family's Lobster Pot restaurant in Provincetown, out at the very end of Cape Cod. It's a variation on the New Orleans classic...
