Cardi B is known for going all out for her family, and her daughter Kulture's 8th birthday was no exception. The rapper, 33, celebrated the milestone with a lavish Care Bear-themed party in Orlando, Florida, featuring a jaw-dropping 3.5-foot-tall custom cake that took 28 hours to create. The cake, designed by Tampa-based artist Kristina Lavallee of The Cake Girl, was a four-tiered masterpiece covered in rainbow colors, white fondant clouds, swirling rainbows, yellow stars, and glitter. It also boasted over 700 handcrafted sugar flowers, making it a true work of art.
The cake's base was made from rainbow cake layers filled with a “sprinkle explosion,” adding a playful touch. Atop the cake sat a pink number eight, while seven Care Bear statues stood in front, each holding a letter to spell out “Kulture.” Lavallee, who has created desserts for Cardi B over the past two years, expressed her honor in being trusted with such a special occasion. “I always enjoy working with Cardi to bring her dreams to reality. I know how special her kids are to her, and that is something I take very seriously,” she said in a statement.
A Behind-the-Scenes Look
Cardi B shared a behind-the-scenes look at the festivities on Instagram, posting a carousel of photos and videos. In one, Kulture poses on a private jet in a baby blue dress covered in flowers, with matching gloves, holding a smaller Care Bear-themed cake featuring a rainbow, animated stars, and a purple Care Bear on top. The caption read, “Happy birthday to my sweet beautiful first born @kulturekiari …just the most kind hearted girl in the world🎀🩷🩰 ..My real life bestie.” She also shouted out Universal Orlando and The Cake Girl for the amazing cakes.
Another video showed Cardi B and Kulture gathered with family and friends around the giant cake, singing “Happy Birthday.” After the song, Cardi lifts her smiling daughter and announces, “You’re 8!” before encouraging her to blow out the candles. The intimate moment highlighted the close bond between mother and daughter.
Kulture's Style and Education
In an interview with E! News in May, Cardi B described Kulture’s sense of style as “very vibrant.” She said, “She loves colorful things, like she loves graphic things. She likes rainbows. She likes flowers. She’s a very vibrant, vibrant girl. She likes to dress very pretty, very girly. She’s like a girly girl.” This influence was clearly reflected in the Care Bear theme and the cake’s design.
Cardi B also values Kulture’s education highly. In a March 2025 cover story with Allure, she mentioned that Kulture attends a strict school that doesn’t tolerate absences, even for her tour. “Kulture’s in school, and her school don’t play that s---,” Cardi B said. In an October 2025 appearance on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast, she expressed her desire to raise her children to be “better than me,” teaching them discipline and resilience, even if they get upset.
Cardi B's Growing Family
Cardi B shares Kulture and son Wave Set, 4, and daughter Blossom Belle, 22 months, with estranged husband Offset. She also has an 8-month-old son with NFL player Stefon Diggs. The rapper often shares glimpses of her family life on social media, balancing her career with motherhood. Despite the demands of fame, she prioritizes her children's well-being and upbringing, as seen in her decision to keep Kulture in school rather than bringing her on tour.
The Care Bear-themed party was a perfect reflection of Kulture's vibrant personality, and the intricate cake showcased the love and effort Cardi B puts into her children's celebrations. Lavallee's artistry brought the theme to life, with every detail meticulously crafted over the span of more than a day. The 28 hours spent on the cake resulted in a dessert that was not only visually stunning but also a testament to the bond between a mother and her daughter.
As Cardi B continues to navigate her career and family life, these moments of joy and celebration offer a glimpse into her world. From extravagant cakes to heartfelt Instagram posts, she ensures her children feel cherished on their special days. The party in Orlando was just one example of how she goes above and beyond to create lasting memories for her family.
