One of the best ways to celebrate any festive occasion is cake, and for Fortnite’s seventh anniversary, finding cake is an essential quest. If you want to claim all the epic birthday rewards, you need to know how to eat slices of birthday cake in Fortnite.
This is one of many birthday quests you need to tackle to celebrate, and while the act of eating cake is fairly simple, finding cake can be a bit tricky. If you’re struggling to finish this task, here’s how to eat slices of birthday cake in Fortnite.
Eat slices of birthday cake in Fortnite, explained
To complete the eat slices of birthday cake quest in Fortnite, you need to consume a total of seven pieces of cake by tracking down the festive birthday cakes scattered around the island. Once you find one, you’ll also find several pieces of cake nearby, any of which can be consumed to complete this quest.
You can only eat cake if your health or shields aren’t full since each slice restores some health or shields, so consuming a total of seven slices might take you a few matches. I managed to get it done in two, but if you arrive at a cake with mostly full health and shields, it may take you a bit longer.
At most locations you visit to find cake, you’ll find a massive birthday cake, a few pieces on plates in a circle around it, and some additional slices placed randomly throughout the area. If you don’t see any near the cake because other players have already consumed them, venture around the area a bit since there may be more nearby. When I visited The Raft for this quest, all the slices that were by the cake had already been consumed, but I found some more in the cafeteria room when I went inside.
All birthday cake slice locations in Fortnite
There are 10 birthday cakes around the island in Fortnite with several cake slices scattered nearby. All of them are situated at major POIs, so there’s a good chance you’ll come across them while looting, but if you want to track one down, here is a breakdown of all the locations you can visit to find them.
- In the cafeteria connected to the prison block near the west end of the The Raft and on the landing near the north end of this area.
- Right in front of Hades’ old throne at the far west end of The Underworld.
- Near the south end of Grim Gate in the courtyard where Cerberus used to spawn.
- Sitting on the ground in between the stage and audience seating at Restored Reels.
- In the central courtyard of Doomstadt by the massive Central Statue you can graffiti and where Mysterio hangs around for you to fight for his Medallion.
- In the center of Reckless Railways right behind the fountain.
- Sitting on the ground at Redline Rig slightly north of the central Nitro room The Machinist used to hang out in.
- At the bottom of the stairs in the throne room at Castle Doom where Doombot hangs out.
- In the center of the throne room near the very top of Mount Olympus.
- Outside the massive mansion at Grand Glacier near the south end of the courtyard.
Once you’re finished with this task, there are still plenty of other birthday festivities you can enjoy around the island. Next, you might consider working on getting a Birthday Medallion, finding a Firework Flare Gun, and wishing the Bus Driver a Happy Birthday.
