Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen turned 21 on Wednesday (June 13). The twins celebrated their birthday with a low-key dinner party at the Chateau Marmont together with their other sister Lizzie and brother Trent, and a few close friends.

“It looked like a family dinner,” an onlooker tells PEOPLE, “You could tell they were all really close. The girls couldn’t stop smiling.”A little after 11 p.m., two red velvet cakes – one covered in white frosting and the other in black – were brought out as the table burst into “Happy Birthday.” Their friends cheered as the girls closed their eyes and blew out the candles.

Soon after the cake was cut, another treat arrived: To the delight of the guests, boxes of cupcakes were served between the tea lights and petite vases of cut pink and white flowers dotting the table. [Source]
