The thing about getting rich is even the most domestic of objects like a bed or a table can turn into a chance to stunt. Same thing goes for birthday cakes. For these athletes, those days where they got the small Carvel cake that gave them a fuzzy feeling inside and whatnot are over. Forget being happy to see another year; it's time to live it up. You're above Popeyes now, since you can simply have a cake done that looks like a Popeyes meal; word to Adam Jones. You'd be feeling yourself a little bit too after coming up just ask Cam Newton and his accomplishment cake or Floyd Mayweather and his money cake. So why not celebrate by eating a cake that represents who you are? If these ideas sound ridiculous, it's because they are. But that definitely hasn't stopped athletes from trying them. Here is a gallery of the Most Awesome Athlete Birthday Cakes.

Hideki Matsui
We'd imagine Hideki Matsui was a little more hype that he got to retire as a Yankee to end his career. Getting this birthday cake and a spot on the starting lineup must've been pretty dope as well when he turned 38 as a member of the Rays.
Taj Gibson
How are you able to reach the rim standing up and you let someone dunk on you? Shame on you, birthday cake Dwyane Wade!
Chip Ganassi
Team Target looking like bosses here, and they were at certain points during the '90s. Peep this.
Cam Newton
This cake was made in 2011, making this cake a half celebration for Cam Newton being the No. 1 draft pick...in a season that almost didn't exist (NFL Lockout).
Scottie Pippen's Son
Also known as the only trophy he was able to bring home without Michael Jordan's help. #wewentthere
LeBron James' Son
James' son probably was playing the Xbox One while eating this cake. Release dates aren't a factor if you're related to LeBron James.
Dwyane Wade
Wade: Oh, thanks! How did you know I liked playing basketball?
Chad Johnson
We're gonna take a wild guess and say the Patriots' helmet won't be on the next cake.
LeBron James
The story goes that the baker was pissed when James rejected this $3,000 cake, and from the way this cake looks, we would be too.
Tyler Sash
The fact that this isn't an official Jordan XI colorway made us sad.
Michael Jordan
The taste of success is sweet...and may give you cavities.
James Harden
Nothing says success like eating a caricature of yourself.
Adam "Pacman" Jones
Get it? Because his nickname is Pacman. LOL, right?
DeMar DeRozan
What do the Toronto Raptors and Compton have in common? They look delicious together.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Legend has it that Floyd Mayweather eats this amount of cake to make his fights fair.
Steve Johnson
We're guessing the cake tasted differently than what it looked like. Or maybe not.
Andre Johnson
"Fuck fly, I eat fashion." - Andre Johnson
Chris Bosh
Taking in culture in the most literal sense.
Adam Jones
Who would want a sugary replica instead of the fried, spiced-up, artery-clogging goodness of actual fried chicken?
