sheli Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 I searched and did not find this, If I'm wrong go easy on me! I went 2 days ago to order Emily's cake from the bakery at super walmart and when I asked them to write "Happy first birthday Emily" the girl says, "You know, since it's her 1st b-day you get a free cake for her." I didn't change my order, but the extra cake was a cute 4" round cake. They even decorated it to match the big cake. They charge a penny for this cake because they need to have a record of the sale, but they take a penny off the cost of the bigger cake.... Nice freebie if someone is celebrating a 1st b-day and lives near a super wm. Plus their cake was the cheapest around my area and didn't charge more for whipped cream frosting...
Guest Deals4Me Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 My in laws loved whipped cream...I dont get it...I dont like it...but every cake they buy for ME, is whipped and they know I dont like it... Thats so cool that it was free!!
sheli Posted January 3, 2006 Author Posted January 3, 2006 for my 16th b-day my mom made me a chocolate cake, with chocolate frosting, decorated with a HUGE hershey kiss (chocolate), at the time chocolate was my least fav thing in the world...and she Knew it!! happy effen b-day to me!!! btw...I love choc now, must be an age thing...
schwoozer Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 I think this is a fairly standard practice at several supermarkets. When our daughter turned 1, my wife heard about this sort of thing and started calling around. All 3 supermarkets we frequented had free cakes for first birthdays. Moral of the story: if this is something that interests you, definitely check with yours.
laffnatu Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 That's a great idea. I've never heard of it until now.
Mom2Ciara&Keagan Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 Yeah, most grocery stores with bakeries do that around here. :) They call it a "smash cake."
kconverse05 Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 When my 1st dd turned 1 we got a free one. She's 3 now.
gisellerol Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 i have never heard of this but it's good to know I will ask though next time.
lennon2004 Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 Thanks..my niece is coming up on her first birthday in a few months so I'll be sure to mention this to my sister. :)
tinkerszs Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 Although we went in to Kings Soopers the week before Thanksgiving a few years ago to order ds's free cake. I got a call the evening before Thanksgiving telling me that they had made a mistake. The cake was only free if I bought a full sheet cake to go with it. I was ticked!!! It was the night before Thanksgiving and I had no cake. Luckily my dh threw a fit a they gave us the cake.
Mommie2one Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 Yes, my Walmart does that too. Free of charge for a first birthday
treasure60 Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 I will have to let my DIL know this my grandson will be 1 in July. Thanks for the post!
mad006 Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 ALL SAFEWAY'S BAKERY GIVES AWAY FREE 1ST BIRTHDAY CAKES
Crazy Mama Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 sounds like you do have to buy 1 cake and get the small one free. Not a bad deal though!!
Yorelryan Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 Not sure if you know this or not but Giants also does this and so does Karns. I got one from each place, when my oldest son turned 1
simonalex Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 Safeway offers that too. i got one for my DD. SA
ohio_gal1959 Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Thanks for sharing, its the first Ive heard of it too.
