The tender bond between Alexis Ohanian and his daughter, Olympia, is a beautiful sight to behold. From flipping pancakes to cruising on drives and teeing off at golf sessions, this dynamic duo embraces every moment together. But being Serena Williams’ husband and Olympia’s dad means knowing how to navigate those tricky “dad moments” too. In a playful twist, Alexis found a sweet way to handle Olympia’s bold “ice cream” request in the morning.

On October 27, Alexis Ohanian posted a video on Instagram that demonstrated his clever parenting abilities. When Olympia boldly demanded ice cream, Ohanian didn’t just give in—he gave it a creative twist. Instead of a regular scoop, he created an ice cream-inspired waffle, blending breakfast and dessert into one sweet surprise.

The post, where Alexis was seen making ice cream-cum-waffle, was captioned, “I messed up the waffle cone, but this is what @olympiaohanian got when she had the audacity to ask for ice cream for breakfast.”

While Alexis Ohanian has mastered turning early morning ice cream wishes into pancake breakfasts, even super dads aren’t immune to slip-ups. He has made pancakes that look like his daughters Olympia and newborn Adira, among others. However, Ohanian’s pancake art took a humorous turn when he accidentally gave Olympia a goatee—a little pointed beard on the chin.

The software entrepreneur reminded everyone that even the best fathers make creative mistakes by apologizing to his oldest child in a lighthearted manner for his impish mistake. At that time, Ohanian shared a few playful photos from another fun-filled #PapaPancakes morning with Olympia on his Instagram account. Captioning the post, he wrote, “Just another #PapaPancakes morning with @olympiaohanian on the griddle… Sorry, I gave you a goatee, baby. But she even made one, and you’ll get some fun dog tricks if you swipe to the end.” 

Ohanian is continuing family traditions by exposing his youngest daughter, Adira, to the popular “Papa Pancake” mornings.

Adira was formally introduced into the beloved “Papa Pancakes” tradition on May 19, which was a momentous day in the Ohanian household. In order to ensure that no one missed the milestone, Alexis Ohanian posted a charming photo of Adira, savoring a lovingly cooked pancake on his Instagram story. But this wasn’t just Ohanian’s effort; big sister Olympia was right there, helping to prepare the Sunday batch.

The 41-year-old businessman shared a behind-the-scenes video of himself and Olympia preparing batter for their weekly tradition prior to the cute photo of Adira. As part of his pancake custom, Ohanian has turned pancakes into cartoon characters and Disney princesses that his girls love. A pancake featuring Olympia strumming a guitar was one particularly noteworthy invention. While fans expressed their admiration, Olympia had some criticism.

Ohanian humorously shared, “I made @olympiaohanian playing guitar, and baby girl has NOTES for me now growing up fast,” highlighting how his little muse is already becoming a playful critic.

Moreover, this delightful exchange showcases Ohanian’s knack for pancake art as he navigates the challenges of crafting creative designs with the precision of a seasoned pro. His ability to turn breakfast into a canvas not only fosters creativity but also strengthens the bond with his daughters, making every pancake session a memorable adventure filled with laughter and love.
