Imagine being 1 year old, all dressed up for family photos, and your parents want you to smile at the camera. It’s hard enough to sit still in normal situations — but add a big snake in the mix, and things get wild! Bindi Irwin just shared family photos for her husband Chandler Powell’s birthday, and their daughter Grace, 1, can’t keep her eyes away from the snake made of frosting that’s coiled on top of the birthday cake. It’s just sugar — but it looks super real to Grace.
“Celebrating @chandlerpowell’s birthday @crocodilehunterlodge, with his wonderful family from Florida and our dear friends,” the Australia Zoo conservationist wrote on Instagram yesterday. “Grace was most excited about the rattlesnake on Chandler’s birthday cake.

In the first photo, Grace is wearing a dark blue dress with blue and pink flowers. Her soft brown hair is getting so long, and she’s holding her trusty spoon, of course. She’s using her spoon to poke at the brown rattlesnake icing on top of her dad’s birthday cake, as Powell and Irwin look on smiling. She’s so cute!
In the next, the family poses with Powell’s parents — and Grace is still laser focused on the snake. This time, though, she’s using her finger to touch it, with a delighted expression on her face. She’s curious, and who can blame her? That cake is impressive, also featuring beautiful depictions of an eagle, a deer, and a bear. Grace definitely has the spirit of her grandfather, the late Steve Irwin, inside her!
“
So glad his parents are back to see yous and little Grace!
