Our bakery at Cantoro Italian Market in Plymouth teamed up with FB to celebrate the way Facebook helps YOU celebrate birthdays! In honor of it, we gave away free cannoli and made national news, yet again! We were in People Magazine! We make fresh cannoli, ricotta, Sicilian style and more, all day, every day.
Facebook Has a New ‘Birthday Stories’ Feature and Is Giving Away Free Food to Celebrate
There’s a participating bakery in every state.
And it’s not even our birthday!
Facebook is treating everyone like it’s their special day on Friday in celebration of their latest launch: Birthday Stories.
The feature allows Facebook friends to upload digital cards, photos and videos to a special story that pops up when it’s your birthday. No more trying to keep track of who wished you “Happy Birthday” on their own Facebook story—everything is now all in one curated place.
The best part is, the new feature means free food for all. Though birthday stories launched globally on Thursday, the party really starts on Friday, when the social media company will be partnering up with 50 bakeries around the country to offer complimentary treats.
There’s a participating bakery in all of the 50 states, and the free pastries vary from place to place since Facebook left it up to the bakery to decide which “birthday-themed” dessert they’d like to hand out. The celebration will only last one day on Friday, and it does not need to be your birthday to join in. It is limited to one treat per customer, though.
In New York City, the participating bakery is Amirah Kassem’s Flour Shop, known for their colorful explosion cakes, which will be taken over by Facebook on Friday. Visitors can get a free treat and test out the new Facebook feature while in store.
Other sweet shops taking part in the festivities include Copenhagen Bakery outside of San Francisco, and Duff Goldman‘s Charm City Cakes in Baltimore. See the full list below.
