Ohanian’s dedication to his daughters is evident in his time creating these fun and imaginative pancakes. Despite his busy schedule, he always ensures he has time to spend with Olympia and Adira, making breakfast a special and memorable experience.

The 41-year-old’s pancake art ranges from detailed characters to creative food-shaped designs, which he proudly shares with his social media followers.

On January 12, 2025, Ohanian unveiled his latest pancake masterpiece, featuring pancakes shaped like hamburger ingredients—lettuce, ketchup, tomato, and buns—before assembling them into a complete burger.

To make the meal even more special, he added French fries-shaped pancakes on the side. He also shared a heartwarming image of his younger daughter, Adira, enjoying the pancake creation, captioning the post.

Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian, shared details about his cherished tradition of making pancake art for their daughter, Olympia. Ohanian humorously admitted sacrificing taste for creativity, noting that Olympia thought pancakes were meant to look and taste that way.

“With pancakes, they taste okay. They are not the best possible tasting. Why? Part it’s the consistency. To make them in the squeeze bottle, to make the art I want them to make, they can’t be too fluffy,” Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian said.

“Because as they expand, they start to distort the image. So basically the pancake batter that I make doesn’t taste great. It tastes fine but Olympia doesn’t know any better. She just thinks that’s what pancakes look and taste like,” he added.

During a recent outing in Los Angeles, Olympia tried professionally made pancakes for the first time. While she enjoyed the taste, she missed her dad’s adorable designs.

“I just took her to a place called Griddle Cafe in LA, which was one of my favorites. Going back to restaurants that I went to as a single dude in his 20s, and then going with your child a decade or two later, it’s a trip. Those pancakes she liked fine. Neither of them shaped like her favorite princess, though,” he said.

Alexis Ohanian revealed that her interest in his pancake art motivated him to improve his skills, even purchasing a commercial-grade crepe maker from a French grandmother to perfect his craft.
