Portillo’s newest LTO desserts feature a sprinkle of Funfetti
The restaurant chain’s new sweets incorporate the Pillsbury sprinkles.
Portillo’s—the Chicago-based fast-casual restaurant known for its hot dogs, beef sandwiches, and Chocolate Cake—is expanding its dessert line-up with the debut of a limited-edition Birthday Cake and Cake Shake flavor, available now through April 6.
Like Portillo’s Chocolate Cake, the new Birthday Cake features two layers of cake baked fresh daily at Portillo’s restaurants. The layers include Funfetti (a Pillsbury-branded dessert line) rainbow sprinkles and are topped with rich, creamy vanilla frosting and an extra burst of colorful sprinkles.
For a limited time, customers can order Portillo’s Birthday Cake by the slice, as a whole cake for any occasion, or blended into the brand’s Cake Shake.
"Portillo’s is known for classic, craveable food and experiences that create lifelong memories," says Denise Lauer, CMO for Portillo’s. "Our new Birthday Cake continues the tradition of Portillo’s delighting guests with unparalleled food, flavor, and fun. We invite guests to celebrate birthdays, holidays, and the everyday together with Portillo’s, and taste the nostalgic flavor of our new Birthday Cake and Cake Shake."
Portillo’s new Birthday Cake arrives in time for the upcoming 63rd anniversary of Portillo’s original Dog House hot dog stand, which first opened in April of 1963.
The limited-edition Birthday Cake and Cake Shake first appeared at all participating Portillo’s locations nationwide beginning March 3 and will be available until April 6 or while supplies last.
