Loaded Birthday Cake Cereal has been announced by General Mills as the brand's latest addition to its product portfolio that will provide consumers with a textural, dessert-inspired experience.
The product is crafted with puffed cereal bites that are covered in a pink coating to give them the signature appearance of a festive birthday cake. The cereal is filled with a vanilla creme to give each bite an addition burst of sweetness, which also adds in a touch of creaminess that will pair well with the crispy exterior.
Loaded Birthday Cake Cereal is being added to the brand's existing Loaded cereal lineup, which presently includes Trix, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Cocoa Puffs. The cereal is arriving now at retailers in the US starting at $6.88 per box.
