How to eat the birthday cake in Fortnite — yummy and rewarding!

Fortnite‘s seventh birthday is here, and to celebrate it, Epic Games has added a lot of new content to the game.

And what’s better than celebrating with a cake? Epic is sharing it with everyone, and you’ll need to eat it to complete a quest.

In this ONE Esports guide, we’ll let you know how to eat the birthday cake in Fortnite.

How to eat the birthday cake in Fortnite

To eat the birthday cake, you need to find it first. There are 10 cakes on the map, and you’ll find one at almost every major POI.

For instance, you can visit The Raft, Doomstadt, Castle Doom, or Mount Olympus for it.

Once you find the cake, you’ll notice that you can’t interact with it. This is because you can only pick up the slices that are placed around the cake. 

Simply go near one of the slices and interact with it to eat. The quest requires you to eat a total of seven cake slices, but this isn’t as easy as it sounds.

This is because eating a slice of cake restores some of your health and shield. So, if your health and shields are already full, your character won’t consume the slice.

Therefore, you will have to wait until you take some damage to eat the cake. Because of this, it can take you a few matches before you eat a total of seven slices.

If you visit a birthday cake and notice there are no slices left, it’s because other players arrived first and took everything.

In that case, you’ll need to head to another location and hope that other players haven’t already eaten the slices there. After you eat seven slices, the quest will be completed, and you’ll earn 20,000 XP as a reward. 

This was everything you needed to know about how to get the birthday cake in Fortnite.
