Laura Candeau, the wife of Cuban reggaeton artist Osmani García and owner of Divine Delicacies Custom Cakes in Miami, was tasked with designing the birthday cake for Marco Antonio Muñiz Ferreira's third birthday. Marco, affectionately known as "Marquito," is the son of well-known singer Marc Anthony and Paraguayan model Nadia Ferreira.
This past Saturday, the bakery showcased images of the cake on Instagram, coinciding with the young boy's third birthday. Expressing her gratitude, Laura personally thanked the couple, saying, "It's always an honor and a joy to create your birthday cakes and to be a part of such a special celebration year after year. Thank you to @nadiaferreira and @marcanthony for trusting me."
The cake was an intricate, approximately six-tiered masterpiece themed around Disney's The Lion King. It was adorned with hand-painted scenes from the movie, including African silhouettes at sunset, Simba and Mufasa, waterfalls, and figures of beloved characters like Rafiki, Timon, Pumbaa, Zazu, and Nala.
The name "MARCO" was prominently displayed in red letters, accompanied by the number "3" in orange. The party atmosphere was enhanced with a complete Lion King theme: orange and gold balloons, murals depicting African landscapes, and three-dimensional figures of the characters.
This marks the third consecutive year that Divine Delicacies has crafted Marquito's birthday cake. They previously created the cakes for his first birthday in July 2024 and his second birthday in June 2025, which featured themes from Minions and Jurassic Park.
In images from the event, Nadia Ferreira is seen visibly pregnant. The couple announced their second pregnancy on January 28, 2026, coinciding with their third wedding anniversary, and on March 27, they revealed they are expecting a girl, who will be Marc Anthony's eighth child.
The video of the cake posted on Instagram was accompanied by the song "Hakuna Matata" from the movie and garnered over 39,000 views in just a few hours.
Born in Havana in 1985 and residing in the United States since 1996, Laura runs the bakery alongside her mother, Iliana Lombardero. Divine Delicacies has crafted cakes for celebrities such as Thalía, Maluma, Lele Pons, Guaynaa, Natti Natasha, and Raphy Pina, establishing itself as one of the most renowned luxury bakeries within the Latin entertainment scene in Miami.
