(The neopolitan flavoured ice-cream cake they make for the grocery stores is virtually the same.) I remember for a little while you could order it separately from McDonalds online through door-dash or Uber-Eats. If you ask, you could still probably buy it.

The folks over at iFixit decided to look into this. They went out and bought themselves the same model of machine that you'd find in a McDonalds. They found that these ice cream machines do have 4 hour period where they can't produce ice cream but that wasn't all, they discovered that these machines are prone to errors and that the error codes they spit out when referenced to the manual make a lick of sense. It's almost designed to be purposefully cryptic. Well, the company making these machines, has a long standing contract with McDonalds essentially saying if they ever need service/repair, McDonald has to go through their technicians. In other words, it's a right to repair situation. They have a whole video up on RU-vid that I'd recommend people go watch.

Back when McDonalds used to have play areas, having a kid's birthday party there was pretty common. I believe the cakes were originally for that purpose. Once the play areas went away, they stopped advertising the cakes but they kept selling them. If you ever ask for a cake and they say they don't sell them, ask for a manager, it's likely that they just aren't aware of them. This has happened to me on several occasions.

As an employee, I have had those a few times. Our store would often get them autoshipped, but we didn't sell any. Every now and then, they would pull one out of the freezer and thaw it out for us. I also remember having the marble version of that cake. It is a basic cake like one would get at a bakery section in some supermarkets. The primary purpose was for locations that offered Birthday party packages. I have never seen a blank one until this video, must be the result of the aftermath of that global event.

These are for children’s birthday parties. There is a per child price for parties and it covers (or at least used too) a happy meal two games and a cake. There are McDonald’s branded games an employee will come out and facilitate with the kids attending. And often a tiny party cup of soft serve for each kiddo is also supplied. I worked there for years and these are kept in the freezer because otherwise they wouldn’t stay good long enough. These aren’t for employee birthdays. They are made with the average nine year old in mind.

@tjs114 10 месяцев назад

That's one of the birthday cakes available for children's birthday parties at the McDonald's that had an attached playland. The cakes came in frozen and then one of the party coordinators would apply the sugar screen art on top before serving (it was a sheet of parchment with sprayed colored sugar on it that was put on top and then a little hot water was spread on it- the sugar released onto the frosting). I only remember it because of my nephew wanting a McDonald's birthday party when he was 4 - he's 24 now.

I’ve been getting McDonald’s cake’s for the last 20 years. It’s always been a yearly birthday tradition. They’ve definitely paired them back. They used to be for customers who had birthday parties at McDonald’s. They were decorated with chunky 3D sugar molds of the McDonalds characters. Then they dropped the sugar decorations and just did an edible printout of Ronald McDonald on the cake. And now… they’ve even dropped him. So, they are just plain to look at. But, regardless, they are very good! I’ve always enjoyed them. 🎉

If the employee is never involved in a party, then they wouldn't need to know about the cake.

I remember having these cakes (or something similar at least. it had rainbow sprinkles and some yellow and red frosting around the edges) as a kid in the 80s and early 90s when people would book a reservation for a birthday party at a McDonald's play place.

@Don42294 10 месяцев назад

Hey👋, how are you doing ?

@aliciaholmes4194 10 месяцев назад

In the 80s you can have your birthday party at McDonald's. You got to choose the type of happy meals and they provided the cake.

@wreconteur13 10 месяцев назад

From what you described, it sounds like every kids restaurant/grocery store birthday cake from the 1980's. The gritty frosting texture sold it for me! Going to try to get one for my partner's next birthday! 😊

@LucyShea81 10 месяцев назад

Glad they brought them back! My brother and i used to get these for our birthday parties as kids.

This reminds me of when I worked on a psychiatric unit. The kitchen would send up 'a cake' for the patient's birthday. It was the square Pepperidge Farms frozen cake but in an unlabeled blank white box. I opened the box and it was a sad, plain white cake with white icing. Sometimes it was sent upside down and if you didn't check it right away the icing would defrost onto the lid and you'd have a bald cake. I felt so bad I started keeping a shaker bottle of sprinkles in my desk to shake on the cakes. Its bad enough to be in a psych unit on your birthday but getting a blank cake is not cool.

@JadeHarleyBizarrely 10 месяцев назад

i used to work at a McDonald's and spent a fair amount of time in the walk-in and at least my location, we DEFINITELY did not have those sheet cakes or any box of that shape. Im guessing that it's blank by default and is supposed to get airbrushed right before a party?

@beaniiman 10 месяцев назад

Never heard of the cake but when I worked at there in the 90s there was a secret menu item "Apple Pie Ala Mode" basically was an apple pie in a salad trey with ice cream in 2 corners and hot fudge on one ice cream corner and caramel on the other. with or without nuts. Was my favorite thing there.

@alphabetsoup6681 10 месяцев назад

I remember the old apple pie with its dee fried goodness, so much better than the one they have now. It was so good with the ice cream.

@thewiirocks 10 месяцев назад

I used to make those Ala Modes for customers all the time. You'd always get that new employee who would be confused by the customer's request and you'd have to be like, "ring up a pie and a sundae and I'll show you what to do."

Back in the day, you could book birthday parties there. It was always a great event to be invited when one was a kid in school.

@TheSimArchitect 10 месяцев назад

I thought they gave cake when you threw a birthday party there.

@sachachilton76 10 месяцев назад

They used to have birthday parties and they supplied the cake

@driiifter 10 месяцев назад

They're for employee birthdays. The employee didn't know because they either don't do birthdays for employees there or he hadn't been there long enough. Honestly no one ever ate it, they would take it out and it would just sit there then be thrown away. I remember I got one and I threw it directly into the garbage after work.

@Misshowzat 10 месяцев назад

That's so interesting! I've only ever eaten the ice-cream cakes for birthday parties but I remember seeing slabs of very similar cake but with chocolate icing being bought by people to events

Aren't they for the kids parties they used to have back in the day?

@xmvirus202 10 месяцев назад

Our original McDonald's restaurant had a basement with a walk-in freezer with a snowman inside. For the kid's birthday parties, they would take everyone downstairs to see it. (This was in the late seventies/early eighties.)

Back in the 70's you could have your Birthday party at Mc Donald's, cake and décor included.

Emmy you should try the Chuck E. Cheese’s birthday cakes , they are BOMB 💣 they are frosting made and really sweet but they definitely hit the nostalgia spot when it comes to that artificial flavors some of us grew up on 😆 and they are baked in store so you can’t get fresher than that 😆

@joshshields9229 10 месяцев назад

I've known about the birthday cakes for over twenty years. McDonald's was an affordable place to get lunch in my former city of residence. And I always saw birthday parties in the play area. I found out that McDonald's supplies the cake and decorations. Basically, if the McDonald's has a kids section, that location sells cakes.

@Eekachuu 10 месяцев назад

Myself and my sisters, cousins, and friends all often had birthday parties at McDonalds back in the 80s and 90s. An employee (usually a manager) would "host" the party by setting up small games (like toss velcro covered balls at a target on the wall etc) and they would bring out the cake and light candles etc. I remember the cake having those candy/sugary molds of Grimace and such stuck on top and frosting with A LOT of food coloring. I remember distinctly how strongly it tasted of food coloring. It was never very good but sugar is sugar when you're a kid! lol I am VERY surprised they're still making them.... it makes me wonder just how old that cake is.. 🤔

@thewiirocks 10 месяцев назад

Alas, McDonalds printed the date on the side of the box. (08 Aug 2023) Still a funny thought, though! 😄

@emilyheney 10 месяцев назад

When I worked at Mcdonalds in collage in 2010, we got a free cake for our birthday. It had the airbrushed Ronald with a yellow border. Not sure if they still do the birthday cakes for employees or not. It was so good!

Yup. Probably a free cake for reserving space for a birthday party.

@MrCarnage69 10 месяцев назад

Back in the day, as a child I was invited to a birthday party at McDonald's. The restaurant used to offer a package for children's birthdays. It would be with cups plates napkins party favors and every kid invited we get a Happy meal with a toy and they would have the whole play place for their enjoyment, and I think this cake is part of their package deal.

@michaellane3017 8 месяцев назад

@marymaryquitecontrary9765 10 месяцев назад

It was a thing when I was young to have children's birthday parties at McDonald's, Burger King & other fast food places that catered to kids... It included a cake, harried mom's didn't have to worry about anything but the kids & keeping them from destroying the place...

@ObscenelyMarvelous 10 месяцев назад

I had my 6th birthday party at McDonald's. That was in the 80s. I found out then that they would provide a cake. It had the McDonaldland characters molded from granulated dyed sugar (like sugar cubes) on top. That made it seem particularly special since that cake couldn't be bought elsewhere.

@kevinirmiter3669 10 месяцев назад

Back in the 80s all the local major fast food chains (McDonald's, Burger King, KFC, etc.) would let you reserve a kids' birthday party. There would be a kid's size menu item with sides, a drink, party favors, and a cake like this. I went to a lot of them in my childhood. One interesting thing is that, where I lived at least, the party would also include a tour of the kitchen so you could see how the food was made. I remember seeing the Burger King conveyor belt where they grill the burgers several times.

@crystalgrose 10 месяцев назад

Years ago in the 70’s and 80’s McDonald’s had cake when kids would have their birthday parties there. It had the McDonald’s characters on it.

@ericabizzell771 10 месяцев назад

Our local McDonald’s had a bingo competition one Saturday during the summer when I was a kid, and my prize for winning the “fill the board” finale level was a sheet cake! We took it home and had an impromptu non-birthday birthday party inviting all my cousins and other kids from the neighborhood. Thanks for unlocking this memory!

@briannatron1 10 месяцев назад

Maybe it's an Australian thing, but we never had normal cakes at McDonald's. It was always an ice cream cake, which was amaaaazing! They'd also take your on a tour and let you go in the big walk-in freezer. The 80's and 90's were the best 👌

@ugh55 10 месяцев назад

They took children on a tour of the walk-in? I work at GYG USA and would never want a customer to tour the walk-in.

@robinesak7819 10 месяцев назад

Also me being old enough to remember having birthday parties at McDonald's and, along with the party, you also ordered a McDonald's cake. They would decorate it for you. Every kid I know had a birthday there at some point and it was awesome! I never knew they had gone away so I didn't know this was a mystery item! 😂

@jpvintage 10 месяцев назад

When I was a kid, back in the 70’s, most McDonald’s had train cabooses on site. They could be booked for birthday parties. They supplied the balloons, party favors and a happy meal for each kid. Can’t remember a Ronald cake, but having a bday party in a real train caboose was an awesome experience!

@djop66 10 месяцев назад

As others have said, you used to be able to schedule a child’s birthday party at McDonald’s. They also used to have a play area. You could order this cake for the birthday party. And they were cheap!

@amandagreen4332 10 месяцев назад

Most grocery store sheet cakes arrive frozen, and sometimes pre-decorated. That ensures product consistency and uniformity. When the cake is slathered in frosting it’s quite yummy!

@Don42294 10 месяцев назад

@nisargthakur 10 месяцев назад

To my knowledge it’s only available at the stores that have play place. Traditionally, people used to have birthday parties there, as they are generally bigger and can hold large gatherings, so they still have cakes stocked up in those stores.

@JMcMillen 10 месяцев назад

The cakes used to be used for birthday parties hosted at the restaurant, but it's possible that not all locations participated in organized birthday parties. The one near me growing up had a section they could isolate from the other tables to host the party in.

@uppercanada 10 месяцев назад

As a kid I went to many Mc D's bday parties with a cake and we even had parties for our kids in the late 90's. There was even a special birthday room at our McDonald's. I had forgotten until I saw your video. Nice trip back in time, thank you.

as many others had said already, you use to be able to host a birthday party at mcodnalds. most of it went away around the same time Mcdonalds decided to get rid of most of their playplaces. the locations that still have a playplace probably would still host children's birthday parties. I always did wanted a birthday at mcdonalds but never got it. though i only seen one family celebrating a birthday at mcdonalds my whole enitre life
