Just recently, she released her 97th book, “Martha Stewart’s Cake Perfection.”

As they described the book on her official website, the book is…

“The authoritative baking guide presents a beautiful collection of tiers and tortes, batters and buttercream, and sheet cakes and chiffons to tackle every cake creation…”

Stewart discussed golden rules for cake-baking during her appearance in TODAY. She also shared a video of her toasting a meringue “frosting” on a lemon curd layer cake on her Instagram account.

She wrote on the social media post,

“Lightly toasting the delicious meringue “frosting” on my favorite lemon curd layer cake- from our new cookbook, @Cake Perfection Our 97th book!!! The recipes are mouthwatering and the cakes , beautiful!”

To her surprise, one of her friendly and well-known neighbors ended up calling her after seeing her bake those mouth-watering and sumptuous cakes.

You may know him as the star in the 1990 American romantic comedy film, Pretty Woman.

But did you know that before he even stepped into Hollywood’s spotlight, Gere first worked…

“…professionally at the Seattle Repertory Theatre and the Provincetown Playhouse on Cape Cod in 1969, where he starred in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. His first major acting role was in the original London stage version of Grease, in 1973. Gere was one of the first notable Hollywood actors to play a homosexual character, starring as a gay Holocaust victim in the 1979 Broadway production of Bent; Gere’s performance earned him a Theatre World Award.”

A nice, neighborly call.

While Stewart was doing the live demo of her baking, you could barely hear her phone ringing in the background and yes, that was none other than Gere. It turned out Martha said that she hoped someone would help them eat all those cakes.

It was an answered prayer when Gere called her and asked for her Chocolate Caramel Mile-High Cake. They took the delicious treats over to her award-winning actor neighbor after the show.

“As seen yesterday on @todayshow With @hodakotb and @carsondaly by the way the phone call was from my neighbor @richardgereofficial He is a neighbor and he wanted the chocolate caramel mile high cake- we took it over to him and his family after the show !”
