Suri's Birthday Tab: $100K

Posted Apr 23, 08 8:00 PM CDT in Gossip 

(Newser) – Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes certainly upgraded from last year's piñatas-and-pizza party for daughter Suri's first birthday, spending $100,000 to celebrate her second last Friday. The event's 24 guests each got their own designer cake (shaped like a hat, with a butterfly and a daisy on the brim), the Daily News reports; TomKat also shelled out for 1,000 live butterflies.

The tab also includes $45,000 spent on food whipped up by Wolfgang Puck (plus another $200 for gourmet cupcakes) and $17,000 worth of fresh flowers. Following the private daytime fête, the Hollywood power couple was joined by pals David and Victoria Beckham and Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith for a blowout that night.
