The Instagram post of the event and cake, which was posted on Tuesday, has already had 12,000 likes and fans flocking to congratulate the Duchess on her upcoming birthday this Sunday.
However, it's the detail on the cake, which really made the cake personal to the Duchess - and if you look closer you can see Camilla's initials - CPB, which has been added to one of the book spines.
CPB stands for Camilla Parker Bowles, her former name before she married Prince Charles and then became Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. Along with the initials the cake also had other sweet details - plants, dogs and books - showcasing her interests and personality.
