"One was a sheet cake airbrushed with my picture on it…….one was a Barbie doll and her dress was the cake," he continued. "Also what about that cake with a big Disco ball on top. It was my birthday when we taped Groovin in the House . …that one was a three dimensional three foot cake in the shape of one of my Dalmatians … You know I cried."

Simmons went on to send his fans a message of gratitude.
