Liv Tyler's son Sailor was gifted a sweet surprise on the pint-sized cutie's 2nd birthday: a Sesame Street cake, complete with an edible Elmo topper.

"#terrifictwos," Witherspoon wrote. We're sure there was a race for the biggest slice.

Since her daughter Josselyn was "emphatic about having a Pocahontas theme" for her seventh birthday party, Samantha Harris carried it through to the cake – a two-tiered confection of chocolate cake with fudge and yellow cake with raspberry cream, topped with the flick's characters ("She just started watching the movie and is obsessed," Harris told PEOPLE).

Two wasn't so terrible for Nick and Vanessa Lachey's son Camden, who kicked off his second year with a very cool construction-themed birthday party.

When a girl knows what she wants, she knows what she wants — and there's no better time than a birthday to ask for it, and/or go a little nuts!
