February is a special month at Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers, and this year the chain is celebrating with a new Freddy's Birthday Cake Shake and new Deluxe Crispy Fish Sandwich.
February is the birthday month of the chain's founder Freddy Simon and there's no better way to celebrate than with a new Freddy's Birthday Cake Shake. This sweet treat consists of creamy vanilla frozen custard blended with real confetti cake pieces, rainbow sprinkles, and cupcake-flavored syrup. The whole thing is then garnished with a fluffy piece of cotton candy for some extra color. As Laura Rueckel, Freddy's Chief Marketing Officer, said in a recent press release: "In honor of Freddy, our new Birthday Cake Shake is a fun and festive treat featuring craveable flavors that guests will want to enjoy for everyday celebrations. Finishing off the shake with a piece of sweet and fluffy cotton candy on top truly makes for an irresistible treat."
