Cheetos is celebrating its 75th birthday in a big way with parties, special edition merch, a runway collection that explores its influence over seven decades and even a Cheetle-infused Birthday Cake. The latter was created by pastry master Christina Tosi of the award-winning bakery Milk Bar and it was unveiled at the Cheetos 75th: The Mark of Mischief event. Fortunately for those who weren't on the guest list, this cake inspired by the cheesy snack will be available by the slice online and through Milk Bar's New York and Los Angeles Flagship bakeries while supplies last.
This limited-edition cake boasts Cheetle-infused birthday frosting, rainbow-flecked cake and texture-rich Cheetos studded throughout for a bit of crunch. A portion of the proceeds from the cake sales will benefit The Birthday Party Project.
