Alexis Ohanian and his elder daughter, Olympia are best of friends. Be it making pancakes, drives, or golfing sessions, we’ve seen the father-daughter duo enjoy everything hand-in-hand. Just a few years ago, Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian started making pancakes for their daughter Olympia. He soon realized that their daughter loved seeing cool shapes on the breakfast table. Hence, he began to create artistic pancakes based on various images from everyday life. Now, ‘Papa Pancakes’ has become a tradition! Recently, Ohanian was seen apologizing to Olympia for giving her a “goatee” in his art.
“Sunday means Papa Pancakes!” Alexis Ohanian recently shared a few pictures on his IG account where he was seen treating the family dogs with some delicious pancakes. In the first story, he shared a picture of him feeding his white dog and saying, “Proud of yourself.” Then in the second one, he was seen feeding the other dog. Both the pancakes had the dogs’ faces on them. Alexis Ohanian’s culinary skills are really commendable, right? Then some pancakes apparently resembled his two daughters, Olympia and Adira. And then due to a little mistake in his artwork, Alexis Ohanian later had to issue an apology to his elder daughter. His mistake: Ohanian mistakenly gave his elder daughter Olympia a goatee (a small pointed beard on the chin).
Serena Williams’ husband shared a few photos in an IG post captioning, “Just another #PapaPancakes morning with @olympiaohanian on the griddle… Sorry, I gave you a goatee baby …. But she even made one and you’ll get some fun dog tricks if you swipe to the end..” There have been multiple such instances where we’ve seen Ohanian’s flawless art skills on display. However, there was another incident where he was caught committing a rare mistake while making a pancake.

In April 2022, Ohanian showed off his impressive pancake art in an IG post after receiving a new request from his daughter, Olympia. He was seen making a detailed, edible Ariel pancake for his daughter and in that post, the caption read, “@olympiaohanian had a new request for her custom Papa Pancakes — Ariel.” However, despite managing to give the artwork an adorable look, he revealed, “I forgot to give her a nose.” Alexis Ohanian is often seen taking requests from his daughter while making pancakes, which mostly feature her favorite superheroes, or favorite characters from movies, books, and video games, etc. There have been many such instances when even Olympia was spotted engaging in this pancake artwork.
