Melissa Gorga Celebrated Her 42nd Birthday With an Amazing Dessert Ferris Wheel
The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member hit up a Bravolebrity-loved hotspot for a sweet birthday treat.
On March 21, Melissa Gorga celebrated her 42nd birthday with an elegant family dinner and a pretty pink cake in New York City. But, when The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member found herself in Las Vegas a week later, she decided to keep the party going — and she kept the sweets coming, too.
In her Instagram Stories from March 27, the Envy Boutique owner shared a peek at the birthday desserts that topped her table at Beauty & Essex. Filled with whimsy, the sugary treats had a high-end carnival vibe.
In Melissa's posts, she noted that the restaurant was "sending [her] off to New Jersey right." And indeed, it looks like her vacation wrapped up in an incredibly sweet way.
A candlelit plate bore a frosted message: "Happy belated birthday Melissa." A platter of assorted desserts included cinnamon-sugar donuts, cotton candy, and cake pops with rainbow sprinkles. And if that's not sweet enough, there was also a tabletop Ferris wheel that held desserts in little golden buckets. (Fun fact: The $38 menu item is called the "Beauty's Wonder Wheel.")
Beauty & Essex is a popular birthday spot for Bravolebrities. Brielle Biermann had a tower of shots there on her 22nd birthday, and soon-to-be mama Scheana Shay rang in her 33rd there with a spread of mini tacos, sushi, and cocktails.
