"Katie Holmes spent the morning of her 34th birthday with her favorite person in the world: Suri Cruise!\r\nOn Tuesday, Dec. 18, the two enjoyed breakfast at the Upper West Side bistro, bakery and chocolatier Sugar and Plumm, a source tells Us Weekly. After feasting on silver dollar pancakes and eggs benedict prepared by chef Ben Dodaro, Holmes was given a birthday surprise by pastry chef Pichet Ong: a homemade vanilla sponge cake layered with strawberry jam and vanilla buttercream frosting that said &amp;quot;Happy Birthday Katie.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThroughout the month of December, Holmes has been teaching her little girl how to be a domestic diva! On Dec. 9, the mother-daughter duo (and a few of the 6-year-old&amp;apos;s pals) visited Georgetown Cupcake in New York City&amp;apos;s Soho neighborhood for a &amp;quot;holiday cupcake decoration workshop,&amp;quot; a source tells Us. &amp;quot;The kids got messy!&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThough the children took their sweets home, Holmes &amp;quot;took cupcakes to the cast and crew&amp;quot; of her Broadway show, Dead Accounts.\r\nHolmes and her little girl returned for another afternoon of cupcake decorating Dec. 17, one day before the actress&amp;apos; birthday. Joined once again by the elementary school student&amp;apos;s friends, the group was photographed having fun in the same store, with Holmes wearing a light pink apron over her all-pink ensemble.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;So much fun having Katie, Suri and friends for cupcake decorating at Georgetown Cupcake,&amp;quot; the company tweeted. (Other celebrity fans of the cupcake chain include Kim Kardashian, 32, and Kevin Jonas, 25.)\r\n\r\nFollowing Holmes&amp;apos; June split with husband Tom Cruise, the Dawson&amp;apos;s Creek alum and her little girl currently reside in a $12,500-a-month apartment in Manhattan&amp;apos;s Chelsea neighborhood. Cruise, 50, is currently in the Big Apple promoting his new movie, Jack Reacher."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
