Most of Minion Land at Universal Studios Florida has opened for technical rehearsals and we’re bringing you all the news from the new Illuminations-inspired area. Let’s go on a tour of Bake My Day, the new combination merchandise shop and bakery on the corner facing Villain-Con Minion Blast.
Bake My Day Exterior
As we’ve cataloged extensively in construction updates, Bake My Day has a pink and white façade. Two spiral topiaries sit in planters outside the doors.
A giant pink cupcake is on top of the building, featuring a Minion with goggles looking next door. The cupcake actually appears to be a tank in disguise, as there is some kind of scope sticking out of the cherry topping.
Bake My Day Interior
Inside, guests will find a new collection of treat-themed fluffy unicorn and Minion merchandise.
The windows display some of this merchandise with pink decorations.
The floor is made of black and white square tiles.
The walls are striped pink and off-white, while the ceiling is pure white.
The merchandise stands are also pink and white.
Treats are displayed on cake stands above some of the merchandise.
In the back corner is the register and confectionery case.
A Bake My Day sign is behind the case.
Stuck to the ceiling with pink gum or frosting is a life-size Minion figure.
Another Minion figure atop a merchandise display is shooting arrows at his friend on the ceiling.
He doesn’t look too concerned, though.
Bake My Day Food
Now let’s check out these treats!
There are several different macaron options.
The one-eyed Minion macaron is banana’s foster-flavored, while the two-eyed Minion macaron is blueberry lemonade-flavored.
The cotton candy Minion macaron is, of course, cotton candy-flavored.
The Minion with two lollipop eyes is on a chocolate pretzel-flavored macaron. The one with a Minion blowing bubblegum is cookies and cream.
And the one with a Minion covered in an explosion of gum is actually bubblegum-flavored.
As for the unicorn macarons, the first with a bundle of balloons is strawberry cheesecake-flavored.
The one featuring a unicorn on a cloud is cotton candy-flavored, and the one with the unicorn by itself is snickerdoodle. The macaron with a unicorn on a cupcake is birthday cake.
The macaron featuring an image of a unicorn with a stack of macarons is raspberry champagne.
And the final macaron, with a unicorn sleeping on its own giant macaron, is passion fruit.
There are plenty of other themed treats, as well.

Minion Land at Universal Studios Florida
Minion Land takes over most of Production Central, transforming it into Illumination Avenue. Minion Café replaces the former Universal Studios’ Classic Monsters Cafe and is joined by Bake My Day, Freeze Ray Pops, and Pop-A-Nana.

The attractions are the pre-existing Despicable Me Minion Mayhem and the upcoming Villain-Con Minion Blast. The façade of Despicable Me Minion Mayhem was recently refurbished.
Minions and other Illumination characters have meet-and-greets outside Illumination Theater.
The back of the Transformers: The Ride show building has been painted teal blue to match the new land.
An entirely different Minion Land also exists at Universal Studios Beijing. Meanwhile, Minion Park is yet another separate land at Universal Studios Japan, with a clone under construction at Universal Studios Singapore. A version of Minion Café exists at Universal Studios Hollywood.
