Marc Anthony is livin’ the sweet life. While the Puerto Rican entertainer is no doubt met with love wherever he performs, a recent stop on his OPUS tour might literally take the cake. The 51-year-old singer made history as the first Latino to headline the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina over the weekend. “Thank you North Carolina for a historical night!” he wrote about the sold-out show. Backstage, the venue rewarded his milestone with an incredible setup - scroll to see!

“Time to party with @marcanthony!” the Spectrum Center wrote on their official account. The accompanying photo gave fans a glimpse at the crooner’s sweet backstage setup. A snack bar boasted everything from specialty Marc Anthony cookies to Puerto Rican pride!

Of course, the pièce de résistance was this cake, a textured confection whipped up by Marianne Warrick of The Wow Factor Cakes in Charlotte. While Marc no doubt loved to see his logo shimmering in sugar, we’re sure it was the Puerto Rican flag topper that hit his heart.

Spectrum also enlisted a custom piece of art for the 51-year-old hitmaker. The commision was an OPUS-centered illustration by artist Hannah Crossman.

Lucky for fans, the Center featured an amazing Marc museum in the lobby! “Check out some of @marcanthony’s memorabilia stations,” they wrote along with a carousel of photos showing the various pieces on tour with the singer.

“Thank you North Carolina for a historical night!” Marc wrote while refelcting on the private jet ride to his next tour stop. “First Latino to play at @spectrumcenter #soldout. Cannot wait to be back. Washington DC get ready. Here we go! #OPUSTour”
