Traditional smash cakes are taking a backseat this September as Pilgrim’s®, one of America’s leading poultry producers, introduces a savory twist to the first birthday tradition in honor of National Chicken Month. The company has launched the Pilgrim’s Ultimate Nuggets Smash Cake Kit, a limited-edition offering that brings a new level of excitement to birthday celebrations, especially for parents eager to add a unique flair to their little “nugget’s” big day.
As more parents look for creative ways to celebrate their child’s first birthday, what could be more fitting than letting them enjoy their first taste of chicken nuggets—a favorite among young children. The Pilgrim’s Ultimate Nuggets Smash Cake Kit includes Pilgrim’s crunchy, juicy Ultimate Nuggets, Idahoan® mashed potatoes to use as “frosting,” a fun birthday candle, and festive accessories and décor. This kit is designed to make any celebration special, whether it’s for a one-year-old or a chicken nugget enthusiast of any age. With easy-to-follow assembly instructions, parents can quickly set up the cake, allowing guests to dive straight into the festivities.
“Pilgrim’s is revolutionizing the smash cake tradition just as we did with chicken nuggets—only the unexpected will do,” said Chelsea Parker, Senior Director of Brand Marketing at Pilgrim’s US. “The Ultimate Nuggets Smash Cake Kit offers parents a chance to create a memorable, delicious moment that’s perfect for the ultimate celebration.”
Earlier this June, Pilgrim’s launched their new line of nuggets, bringing the excitement of quick-service restaurant-quality chicken to grocery stores. Pilgrim’s Ultimate Nuggets are crafted to be the best-tasting option in the frozen chicken aisle, offering a seriously flavorful, dangerously crispy, and perfectly seasoned experience. The new line also features Pilgrim’s Loaded Nuggets, available in Chicken Pot Pie and Cheesy Jalapeño flavors, as well as Pilgrim’s Mini Nuggets, offered in Zesty Ranch, Buttery, and Original flavors. These nuggets are designed to make snack time, dinner time, and everything in between more delicious.
