Taylor Swift Baked Selena Gomez a Long-Distance Birthday Cake, and It's Peak Celeb Friendship

Taylor Swift has a few key interests that we've heard about over the years: performing (duh), cats, and baking. Also up there on her list? Her famous squad, which is filled with a ton of celebrities you'd probably also want to hang out with. And sometimes, these interests intersect—as they did on Sunday, when she combined her love of baking and of her famous friends by making an adorable birthday cake for Selena Gomez](http://www.glamour.com/about/selena-gomez), who turns 26 today (July 22).

Swift found time between her busy concert schedule to prepare a homemade (and tasty) tribute to one of her original squad members. She posted the end result on her Instagram Stories, and it's truly glorious to behold. (We wouldn't hate getting one ourselves, TBH.) Swfit captioned a picture of the cake she baked for Gomez: "Will distance stop me from celebrating my best friend's bday? I MEAN I COULD BUT WHY WOULD I WANT 2."

So cute—but now peep the cake. It's emblazoned with a very clever "Gomez or go home," plus a heart with "26" squarely in the center.

Gomez spent her birthday in California with friends as Swift was preparing for a show in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Grace VanderWaal posted pictures to Instagram of Selena's surprise birthday celebrations, which involved cupcakes decorated with "Happy Birthday, Selena" spelled out in blue icing. (Note: Get friends who will commemorate your day of birth with baked goods on both coasts.)

Gomez's California birthday crew went for lunch together on Saturday, before seeing VanderWaal open for Imagine Dragons in concert, per Instagram.

All in all, not a bad way to spend your birthday, TBH: best friends, concerts, cupcakes—especially when you've got your best friend in NYC doing the most for you. Happy birthday, Selena!
