Savannah Guthrie, co-host of the Today show, encountered a common baking challenge while preparing for her New Year’s Eve celebration. Her attempt to create dazzling cake pops didn’t quite go as planned, providing a relatable moment for home bakers everywhere.
Guthrie initially shared her “New Year’s Eve intentions” on Instagram with a photo of perfectly formed, bright blue cake pops adorned with delicate star sprinkles. The vibrant treats promised a festive start to the new year. However, the following image revealed a different reality.
The “New Year’s Eve reality” photo depicted a baking tray of chocolate cake pops in various states of disarray. Some overflowed with frosting and sprinkles, precariously clinging to their sticks, while others were completely bare. The baking fail showcased the humorous side of holiday cooking.

In December, Guthrie and her daughter, Vale, joined Today co-host Jenna Bush Hager and her daughter, Mila, for a holiday party at the White House. The festive gathering included a cookie swap, adding to the holiday cheer. This holiday season also marked Hoda Kotb’s last as Guthrie’s co-host on the Today show, making the celebrations bittersweet. Kotb’s departure was announced in September, and the Rockefeller Christmas Tree lighting ceremony was her final special as co-host. The two shared a touching moment during the broadcast amidst falling snowflakes.
Guthrie also recently celebrated her 53rd birthday on December 27th. She commemorated the occasion with an outdoor dinner surrounded by candles and greenery, sharing a photo on Instagram with the caption, “This is 53!” From cake pop mishaps to heartwarming holiday traditions, Guthrie’s holiday season was a mix of relatable challenges and cherished moments.
