A woman in England who recently celebrated her birthday requested a cake decorated with a picture of her favorite singer, Mariah Carey. However the birthday girl was probably feeling emotions when she saw the result, which was topped not with the singer of "Hero" but with the face of one of science's heroes: Marie Curie, who conducted groundbreaking work on radioactivity.
As a cake topper, the renowned scientist looked "very festive," said writer Harriet Alida Lye, who tweeted a photo of the cake on June 14.
Carey's prowess as a musician is notable: She is a world-renowned recording artist who earned five Grammy Awards since the release of her debut album in 1990.
However, Curie's accomplishments are arguably just as cake-worthy. She discovered the first evidence of radioactivity, a feat that in 1903 earned Curie and her husband Pierre Curie the Nobel Prize in Physics, which was awarded jointly with the French physicist Henri Becquerel.

That’s so cute.
It wasn’t when Obama did it though.
My birthday is July 4 th and I want a Trump cake.
Famous Walmart cake...
That Baker had One Job!
Now, the spelling error is literally baked into the cake!
Someone’s gonna leave their cake out in the rain.
You’re going to end up with a Charlie Chaplin cake.
Thanx
For my birthday after the eighth grade, I got a cake that said, “Congratulations Colonel Fresham!” (Colonels being my high school mascot). I’m sure they thought it was for a retiring military bigwig.
Yeah, he was exiled as a Commie.
Figures I would get.
I better not go to Walmart for a cake.
Better get a Merican cake decorator I guess.
No offense, but you must live off the grid far far away.
Mmm. Sweet Green Icing.
The spelling error is in instructions that weren’t meant to be put on the cake.

Saw an old old movie of that- if it was near true to actual events- it was an astonishing achievement- much much hard work- frustration, and let downs- working in a freezing cold shack really- very tedious meticulous work- over and over and over again-
It was a pretty interesting movie really-
Mari Curie at least did something for the ages.... Not sure who this Carey broad is.
And, she did it during a time where women in science were not take seriously.
Does it flow in the dark? Plus, they misspelled Shevaun.
Actually I’m surprised that it wasn’t someone asking for Curie and getting Carey.
I don’t think they can make it again.
Yup, true- she really was a remarkable woman if the movie was close to reality-
She sings and she wears tight sparkly gowns during her performances. R & B.
Listen to her first song released in 1995; Vision of Love, which became a huge hit. Her first album “Fantasy”, had 4 No. 1 singles. She writes much of her own music.
Like many now successful women singers, Mariah is known for both her five octave range and her Diva attitude.
Net worth of $520. Million Dollars. More money than Yoko!
