Chris Hemsworth celebrates his 41st birthday with $7 supermarket cake - after budget dessert choice for his 40th sold out around Australia: 'In touch with the common man'

As a humble admirer of Chris Hemsworth‘s talents and his down-to-earth lifestyle, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of kinship with this Aussie icon. Despite his millions, he still savors the simple pleasure of a cheap birthday cake from Woolworths – just like the rest of us!


Chris Hemsworth may be worth millions, but he loves nothing more than a cheap birthday cake. 

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I recently indulged in a delightful AUD $7.05 white mud cake from the supermarket chain, Woolworths, to celebrate my 41st birthday this week, right here in Australia!

Chris Hemsworth, known for his role as Thor, posted a solo indulgence video of him savoring a delightful treat on his Instagram account on Monday.

On the site, it’s referred to as a “soft, fluffy sponge cake, elegantly covered with shiny white chocolate frosting and adorned with intricate swirls of dark chocolate for an extra indulgent touch.” This understated dessert is particularly cherished by Australians.

“Chris expressed his gratitude in his video, saying he simply wanted to thank everyone for their birthday greetings and well-wishes.”

He shared that he didn’t manage to take any pictures the day before, so instead, he treated himself to a cake and decided on a small, personal celebration. To mark the occasion, he also bought some champagne.

Chris remarked, “I picked up some blooms here. You see, as time passes, it seems like the group of individuals close to us, those we hold dear, tends to shrink and become more intimate.”

As someone who has navigated the ups and downs of life, I understand that sometimes it falls upon our shoulders to be alone, but fret not! In such moments, I find comfort in simple pleasures like a scrumptious cake, a glass of bubbly, and a thoughtfully arranged setting. These little luxuries can turn a solitary evening into a personal celebration.

Fans found him relatable, as one commenter put it, “He understands the everyday person.”

Another said: ‘Love that with all your success you are still humble enough to have a Woolies mud cake as your birthday cake. Happy Birthday!!!’

As a long-time shopper who frequently visits both Woolworths and Coles, I can attest to the fact that their mud cakes are quite similar, with the main difference being the branding. Personally, I have found myself debating over which one to buy on numerous occasions, as they’re both priced at a reasonable AUD $6.40. However, after trying both, I have come to a personal preference for Woolworths’ mud cake due to its slightly richer taste and denser texture. But I must admit that it can be hard to decide when you’re in a hurry or if you don’t have a clear favorite yet!

Last year, Chris excitedly ran his fans to the supermarket when he displayed the affordable birthday cake he received on his 40th birthday.

Actor from Spiderhead posted an Instagram picture marking the occasion, featuring him beside a Woolworth’s Chocolate Drizzle Cake.

As I reflect on another year circling the sun, I am filled with gratitude for all the birthday wishes that have poured in from far and wide. It’s a testament to the incredible people I’ve met and the connections I’ve made throughout my life. And as for the cake? Well, let’s just say it didn’t stand a chance against the ravenous pack of friends and family who gathered to celebrate with me! But hey, that’s what birthdays are all about, right? Sharing laughter, love, and a bit of sweetness with those closest to us. Here’s to another year of adventures, growth, and memories in the making!

After the photo was posted, fans flocked to Woolworths to sample the dessert for themselves. 

Costing AUD $29, this delightful cake is characterized as a fluffy sponge cake layered with rich chocolate buttercream and adorned with a drizzle of Belgian dark chocolate.

On TikTok, user @aims.lc joined many others intrigued by the cake and posted a video offering her personal evaluation of it.

‘This is the cake Chris Hemsworth had for his birthday. He is an Australian icon,’ she said.

As a seasoned baker with years of experience under my apron, I can confidently say that this cake is nothing short of extraordinary. The aroma wafting from it takes me back to my grandmother’s kitchen, where the warmth and love in every dish she prepared was as palpable as the sweet scent that filled our home. The dense texture of this cake, reminiscent of a well-loved family recipe, is something I can appreciate deeply.

Fans praised Chris Hemsworth in the comments for his down-to-earth choice of a Woolworths cake.

‘It brings me so much comfort that Thor had a Woolies cake for his birthday,’ wrote one user.

‘Love the fact someone like him is happy with a Woolies cake!’ remarked another.
