Kate Cassidy fought back tears as she made a birthday cake for her late boyfriend Liam Payne on Friday.
The 26-year-old influencer appeared upset in a new video posted on her Instagram, as she mourned the loss of the former One Direction star on what would have been his 32nd birthday.
She looked heartbroken as she shared a poignant message to the star, who sadly died in October after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Kate accompanied the post with a sweet message, which read: ‘Happy birthday Liam, I know you still have the sweetest tooth in heaven.
‘I tried my best here but it’s the thought that counts enjoy.’
She signed off the caption with a red love heart emoji, sharing her sadness with fans.

Kate decorated the cake with frosting and sprinkles, before tearfully blowing out a candle and slicing a piece for herself and their beloved dog Nala.
She uploaded another video which included a montage of memories of the two of them.
Alongside it, Kate penned: ‘8.29.93. A special day for the most special soul. I miss you so much. Happy Birthday Liam. I wish we could celebrate together. In the next life I guess.’
Fans were left sobbing in the comments as many rushed to consolidate Kate over her sad loss.
In June, Kate was asked what her favourite photo of her and Liam is and she shared a snap of her coffee table featuring an array of printed out pictures.
An adorable snap Liam and Kate cuddled up together at Disneyland, while another they were beaming as they enjoyed a day out in full glam.
She also showed a Polaroid of Liam, where he was doing an upside down peace side, that had ‘I love you’ written on it.
‘I have too many but I keep these on my coffee table,’ she wrote. ‘Should probably get frames though.’

It comes after Liam’s ex Cheryl announced her return to the spotlight, following his tragic death.
The Girls Aloud singer, 42, has featured in a new campaign for skincare giant Nivea, with the collaboration announced on Instagram on Monday – with a host of nods to her career littered through the brief clip.
In a striking clip, Cheryl, who shares son Bear, eight, with the late star, is seen strutting into a studio, before sitting with her face covered by a newspaper boasting the lyrics to her 2019 song Fight For This Love alongside the date ‘August 2025’.
A message then flashes up, and reveals: ‘A New Era, Tomorrow’. The social media team captioned the clip: ‘This is right up our street. Tomorrow. 9am. A new era of skincare… guess who’s joining us?’
The star was left heartbroken when One Direction star Liam passed away.
The caption from Nivea is a nod to one of Cheryl’s catchphrases during her stint as an X Factor judge – when she would often say: ‘You are right up my street’.
The clip begins with the stars stepping out of a car, with her heels on display, and then pulling the tie of her trenchcoat and boosting her hair.
Another nod to her appearance comes when the camera zooms in on her iconic hand tattoo – a unique tribal design which has become synonymous with the star.
In the wake of Liam’s passing, Cheryl has removed herself from the spotlight after touring with Girls Aloud in May ahead of his passing just months later.
