'''The Dark Bake & the Bewitching Sweets''' is a stage in ''[[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]'', located upstairs in the [[Sparkle Theater#BF|BF]] to the far-left. After completing [[Welcome to the Spooky Party]] on 3F, the player will get the opportunity to play this stage. The [[Patissiere Sparkla]] is trapped in this stage.

==Layout==
[[File:PPS The Dark Baker & the Bewitching Sweets 1.jpg|left|thumb|The Patissiere Sparkla possessed by the Dark Baker]]
Upon entering the stage, [[Princess Peach]] is already [[Patissiere Peach]]. [[Stella]] comments that the area is weird and suggests to find the Patissiere Sparkla. After making some progress to the right, the Patissiere Sparkla is found, but she has been corrupted by the [[Dark Baker]]. She welcomes the two to [[Grape (character)|Madame Grape]]'s baking stage and wants to bake with them. She then travels to a bakery further to the right. Patissiere Peach must follow the Sparkla inside.

[[File:PPS The Dark Baker & the Bewitching Sweets 2.jpg|right|thumb|Patissiere Peach successfully bakes a triple-layered character cake]]
Once inside the bakery, the possessed Sparkla challenges Patissiere Peach, which involves baking a triple-layered character [[Cake#Princess Peach: Showtime!|cake]], with the first baker to do so the winner. The first layer is the base of the cake, which has Peach using icing to connect macarons on the edges. The second layer involves piping icing around the macarons in a "+" shape around the edges. The third layer has Peach decorating the head of the cake, using icing to make the eyes and hat. After Patissiere Peach wins the contest, the corrupted Patissiere Sparkla does not accept her loss and wants to taste the cake herself. After tasting the cake, the Sparkla becomes cleansed and compliments Peach's baking. Peach and the Sparkla then make their escape. As they travel to the right, they are taunted by the Dark Baker.

The patissieres then find the exit, but curtains close over it. The Dark Baker then arrives and challenges the two to a bake-off race, which Patissiere Sparkla thinks they have no real choice but to accept. The first team to fill five plates with [[Yoshi Cookie#Princess Peach: Showtime!|cookies]] wins. During the contest, the Dark Baker jumps and [[Ground Pound]]s between the four bowls, knocking away anyone who may be standing there or baking. The Dark Baker can use a mixer and bake up a lot of cookies at a time, tossing them to a plate afterwards. The Patissiere Sparkla can also bake some cookies on her own, but Peach can bake with her, baking a large batch of cookies at once. After the patissieres fill all five plates with cookies, the Dark Baker becomes angry and declares that taste is more important than speed. Peach and the Sparkla then decide to bake a giant cookie for the Dark Baker to eat, who becomes amazed and overwhelmed by the taste and disintegrates. The curtains vanish as well, allowing for the patissieres to escape and for the stage to be completed.

On return to Sparkle Theater, Patissiere Sparkla compliments Peach's baking skills, before the Sparkla heads upstairs to the [[Sparkle Theater#3F|third floor]].
