In addition to her artistic talents, Jade has proven her skills in the kitchen, too.
Jade baked De Laurentiis a homemade chocolate cake in August in honor of her mom’s 53rd birthday. The whole process was documented in a wholesome and hilarious Instagram video.
In the video, Jade explained that her mother asks for a chocolate cake “every year” so she was attempting to bake a chocolate and strawberry dessert.
“I’d say my skill set is up to boxed mac and cheese so we’ll see how this goes,” Jade said, referencing the time she made Annie’s Mac and Cheese for aMother’s Day gift in 2022.
The process wasn’t entirely smooth, for example, Jade threw out egg yolks that she should have reserved and needed to ask for her mom’s help identifying a sifter. But, despite her not-so-confident attitude, the final product got rave reviews from theGiadzy founder.
“Jade this is so beautiful,” De Laurentiis said, sticking her fork into the cake and calling it a “10 out of 10. Jade, you are officially my baker.”
