John Mulaney didn’t get a homemade birthday cake this year – but his wife Olivia Munn said that might be for the best.
On Monday, August 26, Munn, 44, shared a photo of the cakes she bought her husband for his 42nd birthday. However, unlike the sweet 2023 surprise she gave the comedian, she did not bake this cake herself.
A picture the actress shared on her Instagram stories showed one cake with some sort of chocolate frosting and the words “Happy Birthday,” while a second was covered in white frosting and had “John John!” written on it. Both cakes had four red candles on them.
“I didn’t have the energy to bake a (bad) birthday cake this year so I went to the grocery store,” Munn captioned the snap.

She then shared another photo on her Instagram stories showing last year’s offer while Justin Bieber’s 2015 hit “Sorry” played in the background.
“Last year,” Munn captioned a photo of a messy cake with white frosting, lots of sprinkles and happy birthday candles on top. The star added a melting face emoji.
Last year, Munn revealed that her and Mulaney’s son, Malcolm Hiệp, 2, destroyed the birthday cake she was working on.
Munn shared a clip on her Instagram stories at the time, saying: “I tried to make a four-layer birthday cake and the bottom layer is falling off.”
“Like and subscribe for more baking tips,” she joked in the caption, while stopping Malcolm from reaching for a knife lying next to the cake in the post. That didn’t stop the youngster from getting his hands on the frosting, though – the actress also shared a photo of his hand next to a large, handmade dent in the cake.

Although the sweet treat wasn’t the prettiest, Munn insisted, “The cake was delicious. An ugly success!”
Last month, Malcolm greeted his mother with a sweet happy birthday message as the actress spoke to the camera at her 44th birthday celebration.
“Happy birthday, mommy!” the toddler said in the clip shared on Instagram.
“Oh my God! Thank you so much, you are the sweetest,” Munn replied, adding, “Can you say ‘I love you, mommy’?”
“I love you so much,” Malcolm told her, and the proud mother replied, “I love You so much.”

After Munn’s birthday this year, she and Mulaney tied the knot in a simple, intimate ceremony at a friend’s home in upstate New York, a source close to Mulaney told PEOPLE. Only her son and a best man were in attendance.
