Gopher Gifts


Birthday Cakes

To celebrate a birthday or any other special event, parents can call on University Dining Services (UDS). UDS will deliver a half-sheet cake (serving as many as 48 people), or a quarter-sheet (serving about 24), and they'll send along plates, napkins, and forks. Cakes come in a variety of flavors and decorations. For more information and prices, see www1.umn.edu/dining/cakes.html.

Deliveries to residence halls or on-campus locations are free. Students who live off campus can also receive cake deliveries, but UDS will charge a $10 delivery fee for off-campus addresses.

To order, call 612-624-7173 during regular business hours, Monday through Friday. Payment can be made by credit card or check. Be sure to place your order at least three days before the delivery date.
