While you might come across some event items naturally while exploring, you’re not likely to find this one unless you’re specifically seeking it out, since it spawns around locations you likely don’t visit often. If you’re hoping to finish the full event, here’s where to find Birthday Cakes in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Birthday Cake only spawns in a few Realms for the duration of the Memory Mania event, including the Moana Realm, Ratatouille Realm, and Wall-E Realm. There are many different Realms you can explore throughout the Dream Castle, but only these three have a chance of containing some Birthday Cakes for you to discover.

In all three Realms, Birthday Cake spawns on the ground. This item always appears as a small light pink cake with the number 13 candles on top. Like all other event items, it’s also always marked by some golden sparkles to make finding it a bit easier.

How to get Birthday Cake in Disney Dreamlight Valley

You can get Birthday Cake by finding it around the Moana Realm, Ratatouille Realm, and Wall-E Realm, then selecting the Interact button that pops up next to it once you’re by it. Birthday Cake can’t actually be picked up or eaten, but interacting with it does drop a special event item you need.

Birthday Cake drops pink Memory Shards, which you can open to receive pieces of an Inside Out memory featuring Joy surrounded by confetti. This memory has six pieces to it, and every time you interact with a Birthday Cake, you have a shot at finding one of them.

Not all Memory Shards dropped by Birthday Cake are guaranteed to have a piece of this memory inside. Instead, some may grant you Star Coins, so there’s a chance you’ll need to open more than six to finish the full puzzle. Fully completing this memory finishes the Feeling Joyful task and unlocks the Ennui Raven Companion.

How often do Birthday Cakes respawn in Disney Dreamlight Valley?

Birthday Cakes respawn about every 30 minutes as long as the Memory Mania event is live. For more to appear, you need to remove the already present cakes. Each time you remove one, a secret timer begins for another one to respawn approximately 30 minutes after that point.

There’s a lot more to get done before this event ends. If you’re not sure what to tackle next, you might consider working on Memorabilia, Feeling Expansive, Get Nostalgic!, Spark Joy, and Embrace the Blues.
