“Multi-layered. Decorated. And I have to ask Olympia what this means. But, how beautiful is that?” Alexis Ohanian remarked in 2023 when his then 5-year-old daughter, Olympia, presented him with a beautifully decorated cake. At the time, the co-founder of Reddit was puzzled by the meaning behind its intricate design. Fast forward two years, and Olympia, now 7, has truly mastered the art of cake making. Her proud father has been in awe recently, marveling at how his little ‘pastry prodigy’ has transformed into a true baking sensation.

It all began in 2020, during Covid, when, on Alexis Ohanian’s 37th birthday, little Olympia tasted her first-ever cupcake. “Our 🧁 has her first 🧁,” Alexis joyfully shared, posting an adorable snapshot of his then-two-year-old savoring the sweet treat. Later in October that year, Olympia proudly held up a rich, freshly baked sponge cake to the camera. Her mom, the 23-time Grand Slam winner Serena Williams, beamed with pride, exclaiming, “Look what Olympia made! She made a cake.” Still warm from the oven, the cake rested in a pink Hello Kitty-shaped mold, a perfect reflection of her playful creativity.

From that moment on, the elder daughter of Serena and Alexis has continued to impress, proving time and time again that she just might be America’s next top chef. Just kidding!

Remember when Ohanian shared a short Boomerang of the pizza made by Olympia with cheese sprinkled onto the dough? Or the times she whipped up “bright red waffles,” cooked breakfast, and baked cookies, all with the biggest smile? Now, Olympia’s culinary talents have reached new heights in making cakes. Her proud father showcased her latest baking masterpiece, and let’s just say it looked absolutely delicious! 

Just a while back, Alexis Ohanian shared a delightful snapshot in his IG story of a ‘freshly baked’ cupcake, with its golden top crowned with a smooth, white layer of cream. “@olympiaohanian is getting too good at this,” the 41-year-old captioned the post. The proud father, who has quite the knack for cake baking himself, seemed to be bursting with pride over his daughter’s growing culinary talents over time.

We’ve seen these sweet baking moments unfold in the Ohanian household quite frequently, haven’t we? Just last month, Alexis gave us another glimpse of Olympia’s magic in the kitchen when she added the perfect finishing touch to a homemade chocolate cake he attempted, using a recipe generated by AI! “The homemade cake tasted better than it looked. Recipe via AI. She got creative with the frosting/fondant…” Ohanian shared on IG, giving credit to his little ‘sous-chef.’

And let’s not forget the 7-year-old’s most special creation yet: a cake to celebrate the immense success of Reddit’s IPO! With layers of Hershey’s Milk & Chocolate atop a Tutti Frutti base, topped with sprinkles and ‘red heart-shaped’ creams, Olympia poured her love into every detail. Ohanian again shared it on his IG Stories, writing, “Olympia Ohanian made me an IPO cake.”

But the father-daughter baking stories don’t end there. Their love for sweet treats runs deep, right down to their cherished pancake mornings. Even Serena Williams once gushed about their special ‘Papa Pancakes’ tradition, proving that in the Ohanian household, the kitchen isn’t just for cooking: it’s where memories are made. 

When Serena Williams shared Papa Pancakes stories

It was November last year when the 41-year-old Alexis Ohanian and his beloved Serena Williams took center stage at the “Lingo Spike Sessions.” The event proved to be a highly amusing affair, with playful conversations and intriguing behind-the-scenes details. It provided fans with an intimate glimpse into their dynamic, encompassing anecdotes about late-night cravings, parenting experiences, and a humorous discussions regarding dietary fidelity.

But amidst all the fun, one particularly heartwarming detail stood out: Ohanian’s cherished weekend tradition of sharing breakfast with his two daughters. When asked about their go-to weekend breakfast for the family, Serena didn’t miss a beat. “Papa pancakes,” she answered with a smile. While the response alone was sweet, it was the father’s heartfelt addition that truly stole the show. 

“When Olympia was little and couldn’t really speak, I’d make alphabet letters in the pancakes for every letter in her name. I can’t take all the credit for her learning to read, but pancakes definitely played a part,” Ohanian added. In an immediate response, the 23-time Grand Slam champion offered a nod of acknowledgment, quipping, “Papa Pancakes provides for and educates you.” 

Alexis Ohanian’s love for his daughters needs no introduction. Despite his packed schedule as an entrepreneur, he always carves out time for his family, often sharing their special moments on social media as well. Needless to say, fans absolutely love those posts. Long may it continue!
