McDonald’s, the iconic fast-food chain, has a hidden gem that not many are aware of – their secret birthday cakes. While the chain is known for its classic menu items, it has quietly offered birthday cakes for those looking to celebrate at the land of Big Macs and fries. This tradition dates back to a time when McDonald’s was the go-to spot for birthday celebrations, even before extravagant parties became a trend among celebrities like the Kardashians.
These special-order cakes come in two flavors: white with white frosting or chocolate with white frosting. Once adorned with a picture of Ronald McDonald, the cakes now feature a simple “Happy Birthday” message on edible paper. Packaged in a silver tin cake pan, these cakes can serve up to 12 people, depending on your preferred slice size. To get your hands on one of these nostalgic treats, you can place an order through the McDonald’s app for pickup or delivery, but not all locations carry them, so it’s best to call ahead to check availability.
If you’re fortunate enough to locate a McDonald’s that offers these cakes, be prepared for limited availability. According to former McDonald’s corporate chef Mike Haracz, the decision to sell these cakes lies with the owner-operators of each franchise. Haracz suggests reaching out to the owner-operator of your local McDonald’s in advance to secure a cake for your celebration.
Pricing for these special cakes can vary based on location, ranging from as low as $9 to as high as $20. For those looking to go all out and host a McDonald’s-themed birthday party, consider ordering a variety of burgers, McNuggets, and other favorites for your guests. To enhance the experience, McDonald’s offers downloadable party accessories like hats and thank you cards on its website, allowing you to recreate that childhood magic and capture Instagram-worthy moments.
Whether you’re reliving fond memories or creating new ones, a McDonald’s birthday cake is a unique way to add a touch of nostalgia to your special day. So, why not indulge in a slice of nostalgia and celebrate your next birthday with a taste of McDonald’s history?
