Dad Surprised With Awesome Air Jordan Cake at Cincinnati Steakhouse

An Ohio dad was surprised with an incredible cake designed to look like an Air Jordan IV while celebrating his birthday with his family at his favorite steakhouse.

Footage filmed by Lindsey Young shows the cake being unveiled at the Cincinnati restaurant Jeff Ruby. The luxurious dessert can be seen being removed from a dry-ice-filled glass “shoebox” before being placed on their family’s table.

Young told Storyful that she’d heard the restaurant was serving elaborate cakes based on luxury goods, and explained that both she and her husband worked in a shoe store in their college years, and share “a love for anything Jordan.”

“So, I pre-ordered the Jordan Air IV cake (technically called the Air Ruby), which was only $75 and had them surprise him at dinner,” she said, adding that this particular model “is his absolute favorite of all shoes.”

The designer cakes are the brainchild of pastry chef Eric Clark and executive chef Dylan Jones. In addition to the Jordan Air IV, the restaurant also serves up a cake-version of a Louis Vuitton handbag, aptly called the “Ruby Vuitton.” Credit: Lindsey Young via Storyful
