In romantic relationships, there’s a bundle of common milestones, a list of “firsts.” First date. First kiss. First shared home. First time your partner replaces many of your belongings with incredibly realistic recreations that look like your stuff but are actually cake. First time they do the cake thing again.

Maybe those last two are more specific to Zoë Kravitz and her fiancé Channing Tatum, but, hey, never say never.

In a profile published in Esquire Wednesday, Kravitz revealed that she embraced both she and Tatum’s shared love of the Netflix reality show Is It Cake? by pulling off an elaborate multi-day, pastry-based prank on Tatum for his birthday.

She and Tatum, who stars in her upcoming directorial debut Blink Twice, unwound during filming by watching the Mikey Day-hosted competition series, in which bakers try and make convincing replicas of items out of cake, realistic enough that they are (hopefully) indistinguishable from their not-cake counterparts. Judges are then faced with a key question: Is it cake?

On Tatum’s birthday, Kravitz made sure that the answer to that question, over multiple days and in unexpected moments, was a resounding “yes." She enlisted a baker to swap cake in for fried chicken, their hotel room’s remote control, a tube of travel toothpaste, and more.

“I just hear in the bathroom, ‘What the fuck?’” Kravitz recalled of that last one. She even hid a replica of one of his socks in a pile of laundry, delighting when he picked it up and it crumbled in his hands. “I felt like I had accomplished greatness.”

They have since moved on to bingeing MasterChef and Love Is Blind, she said, which sound admittedly less ripe for prank inspiration, but artists of this caliber are not to be underestimated.

In other cake news, the couple have not yet set a date for their wedding. Pay no attention to her dad Lenny Kravitz’s recent comments that “we’re going to have a wedding next year.”

“It’s literally something we’ve said in passing,” Zoë said, negging her rocker dad. “Like, maybe I said, ‘Next year would be cool.’”

That no-sweat vibe seems to have emerged as a theme in Kravitz and Tatum’s relationship, and could also be the headline for their public debut as a couple. As Kravitz explained in Esquire, those now-legendary 2021 pictures of a regal Kravitz riding on the back of Tatum’s BMX bike, taken while the two were still keeping their romance under wraps, were the result of a wardrobe miscalculation. It was August in New York City, Kravitz was walking to her writing partner’s house, and the humidity and heat were fiercer opponents than she’d anticipated. Tatum told her to hop on, they were spotted, and a meme (and public awareness of their more-than-friends status) was born.

“I think it’s funny,” Kravitz said.

As funny as a remote control made out of cake? The judges are out.
