Cake

"Piece of the cake!"

- Luigi

Cakes are made by mixing Cake Mix in Paper Mario. A Cake has to be made for Gourmet Guy in Shy Guy's Toy Box to progress. The Cake Mix can be found in the Shy Guys' playground beyond Anti Guy's spot. Cake restores fifteen FP and sells highest at Star Haven for fifteen Coins.

If Mario reclaims Tayce T.'s Frying Pan from the Shy Guy who stole it, the elderly Toad cook will prepare him a Cake. Of note is, after Mario gets this Cake, Tayce T. mentions that she used a Cake to win over her nameless, now late husband, rendering the making of Cakes troublesome to her. Also of note is that this backstory is extremely similar to that given for Couple's Cake by Wonky in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

Two cakes, each with three layers, are also featured in the Mario Party 3 Game Guy mini-game Game Guy's Sweet Surprise. In it, Big Chomp and Little Chomp have a race to see who can finish their cake first, and the player must predict their winner.

In New Super Mario Bros Wii, there was a cake presented for Peach's Birthday, but it appears that Bowser's 8 Children used it to Kidnap the Princess. It is unknown who made it, or how they moved it into the scene.
