— Pau Gasol (@paugasol) July 6, 2015 Pau Gasol is celebrating his birthday with a giant cookie cake
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Pau Gasol is one of us. Sure, he might be 7 feet tall, ridiculously good at basketball and have more money than any of us -- but deep down he’s just like us. Pau puts his pants on one leg at a time, and when it’s his birthday he doesn’t need some hoity-toity Belgian chocolate, gold-leafed cake. He just needs a good old fashioned cookie cake. Maybe it’s a blondie cake ... either way it looks like a good cake.
Some of the features of Pau’s cake are:
Five candles, because he’s a big boy now.
“PAU” spelled out in M&Ms.
A candy basketball the size of a child’s head
Those cookie cakes can get a little dry. Hopefully someone brought ice cream.
