A mango vanilla cake served at Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and actor Vijay’s 52nd birthday celebration has unexpectedly become one of Chennai’s most sought-after desserts. The cake’s popularity soared after actor Trisha shared a birthday photo featuring Vijay, prompting fans to identify every detail in the viral image—including the cakes on display.

Chennai-based baker Tanvi Bokaria, who created one of the cakes seen in the celebration, said the attention has resulted in an overwhelming surge in orders over the past two weeks.

Speaking about the unexpected response, Bokaria said she had no idea the cake was meant for Vijay’s birthday until the photograph appeared online. The sudden recognition brought significant attention to her bakery, leading to a sharp rise in customer demand.

According to the baker, nearly 300 to 400 orders for the same mango vanilla cake have been placed since the photo gained traction on social media. She described the experience as surprising and said the overwhelming response kept her team busy with continuous orders.

The cake has also received a new identity among customers. While it was originally sold as a mango vanilla cake, most buyers now simply ask for the “CM Cake” when placing their orders.

Bokaria said this has become the most successful single cake design her bakery has sold, adding that even her staff members are admirers of Chief Minister Vijay.

The viral attention began after Trisha shared a birthday post for Vijay on June 22, featuring a candid photo of the two together with a heartfelt caption wishing him on his special day. The post quickly became a talking point online, with fans discussing everything from the pair’s appearance to the cakes featured in the celebration.

Social media users also identified other cakes visible in the photo, including a tiramisu cake and a strawberry white chocolate cake from different bakeries. However, it was the mango vanilla cake that captured the greatest public interest and turned into a bestseller.

The birthday celebration also reignited online discussions surrounding Vijay and Trisha’s long-standing friendship. Fans continued to speculate about their relationship following the viral post, though neither of them has commented on the rumours.

What started as a private birthday dessert has now become a local sensation, with customers across Chennai ordering the now-famous “CM Cake” inspired by Vijay’s birthday celebration.
