Property Brother Drew Scott Proposed With A Seriously Epic Cake

From Delish

Just as popular as the homes Property Brothers stars Jonathan and Drew Scott design is what's going on in their love lives-seriously, some of the top Google searches around them question whether they're married, dating or single, and if so, whether they're gay or straight-and this week, Drew inadvertently answered fans after getting engaged to his girlfriend of six years, Linda Phan. (For the record, Jonathan's also off the market.)

The HGTV star may be known for renovating houses, but when it came to his proposal, he let someone else do the building-in this case, creating a four-tier, Dr. Seuss-inspired cake. The pastel-colored, topsy-turvy design emulates Phan's favorite book, Oh, The Places You'll Go, according to People.

"[It] looked identical to the mountain on the book cover, and the character standing atop the cake had the ring hanging from his finger," Scott told the magazine.

He also specially designed the engagement ring, a 1.2-carat round-cut solitaire in a swirl setting.

"I'm still in shock," Phan said in an interview on Today.

Scott worked with Le Dolci Bake Shop in Toronto to design the cake, which featured layers of Belgian chocolate cake frosted in salted caramel Swiss meringue. The whole thing was covered in fondant and edible ink, so the bakery could make the towering dessert match every last detail of the book, from the Seussian font to the shading on the balloons. (One of the cake's designers even brought in her 4-year-old son's copy of the book, referring to it frequently to make sure everything was just right, bakery founder Lisa Sanguedolce told us.)

Even the bakery has special significance to the Scott family-the brothers have been going there for years, even filming an episode of Property Brothers there. Just a few weeks ago, Scott took Phan to the shop to bake a cake with her, which he recorded on Facebook Live.

As fans asked when they would get married, he didn't say a word. "I'm sure he knew then!" Sanguedolce wrote via email.

Scott didn't just present her with a cake when he proposed; he went all out, secretly recording Train's "Marry Me" a few weeks before the wedding. On the big night, he took Phan to a restaurant, which played his recording of the song as they brought out the cake. His bride-to-be was stunned.

"When that came out, and when I was down on one knee, Linda was so confused," Scott explained. "After she said yes, I took her over a few doors down, I had-I flew in her family, my family, we had like 200 of our family and friends, all of her old high school friends and everybody together-to celebrate."

Both brothers and Phan recently appeared on the Today show, where they discussed the proposal, and the lengths Drew had to go to in order to keep his plans under wraps. Often, he'd borrow Jonathan's phone-or members of his production team's-to make calls to the bakery, just so she wouldn't accidentally see a call from the shop.

"Drew got a fake email address to use while this was all happening, he snuck off to record a song-guaranteed she either thought he was having an affair or that something was in the mix for the holidays," Jonathan said.

He also joked that his brother's proposal also puts the pressure on him, as people suddenly ask if he's going to pop the question any time soon-and if he does, how he'll manage to top what his brother did.

"I'm madly in love with this fantastic woman," he told correspondent Jenna Bush Hager, though the conversation changed course before he could elaborate on whether he, too, plans to get down on one knee in the near future. We'll let him make that announcement in his own time.
