'''Peach's Birthday Cake''' is [[Princess Peach]]'s board in ''[[Mario Party]]''. The players compete on a large two-layered [[cake]]. It is made by the princess herself according to [[Toad#Mario Party|Toad]], as well as the ribbon on the side of the cake in the original game. At the end of the game, the winner's [[Star (Mario Party series)|Stars]] form into a large Star causing the cake to light up. The winner as well as the players in second and third stand on the cake. The losing player is seen getting attacked by a [[Piranha Plant]]. This board returns in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'' where in the end, the losing player gets eaten and spat out by Piranha Plants that sprout in front of them. In both games, this board is the only one not to have a Boo anywhere, though in ''Mario Party'', it is possible to get one with an [[Event Block]].

The cake is double layered, with the player going onto the second layer via a "bridge". In addition, aside from the cake itself, there is also a bowl containing a partially bitten custard pudding nearby that houses Bowser, where he provides his inedible [[Bowser's bogus items#Bowser Cake|Bowser Cake]]. This area can only be accessed if the player gets a flower depicting Bowser's face on it in the flower lottery. It is connected to the main board by a choco stick.

*When the player reaches [[Goomba]], they must pay 10 [[Coin#Mario Party|Coins]] (all their Coins if they have 10 or less or for free if they have none) to play a game called the '''Flower Lottery'''. There are four seeds of different colors (red, blue, yellow and green) or different sizes in ''Mario Party Superstars'', and the player must bloom one (after blooming a whole set, another set appears). Three of them have Toad's face imprinted inside them: if the player finds one, they "lose" and take the Star's path. However, if the player chooses the seed with Bowser's face, they "win" and are forced to proceed to Bowser's pudding. In ''Mario Party Superstars'', the event was moved to the end of the Star path, so the lottery instead determines whether the player goes to Bowser (indicated by a flower with Bowser's emblem on it) or the path leading back to the start (indicated by a pink flower). Also, it resets every time the Bowser seed is chosen, rather than all seeds being chosen.

*If the player lands on a Happening Space, they can bury a Strawberry Seed for 30 Coins, that then grows in a Piranha Plant. In ''Mario Party Superstars'', the Strawberry Seed is replaced with a [[Piranha Pod]]. If a player lands on this space, the unlucky player loses a Star that the burier gains. The plant then disappears, unless the target has no Star, in which case the plant does nothing anyway. Technically, they act similar to [[Boo#Mario Party|Boos]] in other boards. In ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', the [[Pink Boo Orb]] functions identically to the Piranha Plants, even costing 30 coins to acquire unless there is a discount. In ''Mario Party Superstars'', players have the additional option to pay 5 Coins to plant a smaller Piranha Plant. If another player lands on that space, it steals that player's Coins and give them to the burier. If the player lands on a space they already own, or lands on an unoccupied space while having less than 30 coins, nothing will happen in ''Mario Party'', but the Piranha Plant will give the player coins in ''Mario Party Superstars''. Players can then upgrade the Piranha Plant into the star-stealing type if they have enough coins.

*Bowser is on the pudding and can be reached by getting a flower with Bowser's face on it in Goomba's lottery. When the player meets Bowser, they lose 20 coins and get hit by a bogus [[Bowser's bogus items#Bowser Cake|Bowser Cake]]. In ''Mario Party Superstars'', he may instead give the player a [[Cursed Dice Block]] for 11-20 coins; if that player is in last place, he may give them 5 coins.

==Notes==

*In ''Mario Party'', when a player gets a Star, Toad sometimes says, "'''''Princess Toadstool''' made this cake. What do you think? Isn't it cute?''". This makes ''Mario Party'' one of only three games in the ''Super Mario'' franchise in which the Princess is referred to as both "Toadstool" and "Peach", the others being ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 2]]''.
