Yes, McDonald’s Has a Birthday Cake!

Okay, Disney adults — you know how much I live for magic, memories, and a little extra frosting in life. So when I found out McDonald’s still sells their iconic Happy Birthday Cake (yes, the actual white sheet cake with the red trim and clown design!), I had to get my hands on one. πŸŽ‚

✨ Let me tell you — it’s like a time machine back to those childhood birthday parties, where the decor was colorful, the toys were plastic perfection, and the cake came from McDonald’s. And honestly? It’s still delicious in that sweet, nostalgic way.

              

πŸŽ‚ What Is the McDonald’s Birthday Cake?

This gem is a simple white sheet cake with vanilla frosting, red piping, and the classic Ronald McDonald decoration in the center. It’s served chilled and feeds about 8 people — perfect for parties, last-minute celebrations, or just because you want cake with your fries (because why not?).

🍟 Why I Love It

It’s the kind of throwback treat that makes you feel like you’re celebrating something, even if it’s just a regular Tuesday. I picked one up to go with a late-night McNugget run and let’s just say... I didn’t regret a single bite. It’s surprisingly affordable, super cute, and absolutely made for fun-loving adults who appreciate a little kitschy joy in their day.


🎈How to Order It

You won’t find it on every menu, and availability may vary by location. Here’s what to do:

  • Call ahead to your local McDonald’s and ask if they carry the white Happy Birthday Cake (some stores keep them in the freezer).

  • Some locations sell them only through drive-thru or at request, so it never hurts to ask nicely!

  • It’s usually under $10, making it one of the most affordable birthday “extras” ever.

  • According to the McDonald's website you may be able to order this birthday cake through the mobile app. Give it a try!
