President Claudia Sheinbaum celebrated her 64th birthday on June 24 at Palacio Nacional, where she cut a personalized cake featuring her portrait during the morning press conference.
Claudia Sheinbaum received two large chocolate cakes and a smaller one decorated by Mexico City bakery Pink Velvet. The cake featured a current photo of her alongside childhood and teenage images, blue flowers and the message “Felicidades.”
Reporters present sang “Las mañanitas” and The Beatles song “When I'm Sixty-Four.” Sheinbaum revealed one of her wishes when blowing out the candles: “Que gane la Selección Nacional,” referring to Mexico’s match against Czech Republic in the 2026 World Cup.
The president said she would not go out to celebrate due to street closures for the match and would eat pozole, her favorite dish. She also mentioned a family meal on Sunday.
