He and his mentor, [[Chef Torte]], bake [[cake]]s together in the [[Marrymore]] wedding chapel.

During the events of the game, Chef Torte and his Apprentice are charged with creating the world's greatest wedding [[Cake (boss)|cake]] for [[Booster]] and [[Princess Peach|Peach]]'s wedding. The two rush the cake over to the ceremony, but find it interrupted by [[Mario]], who had rescued Toadstool and ended the wedding.

'''Chef Torte's Apprentice''' is the student of one of the greatest chefs in the [[Mushroom World|world]], [[Torte]]. Like Chef Torte, the Apprentice is a [[Terrapin]]. The two work together in the [[Marrymore]] wedding chapel, baking great wedding cakes. Although Torte constantly bosses around (and insults) his young Apprentice, the chef-in-training doesn't seem to mind the abuse.
After taking enough damage, the cake begins to move. The Apprentice notice this and taps his mentor on the shoulder, but Chef Torte, seeing the cake immobile, dismisses him and resumes battle. However, when the cake moves a second time, the Apprentice notices it again and advises Chef Torte. This time, however, the cake continues to move and actually comes alive. Frightened, the two Tortes flee the scene, leaving Mario and his allies to fight the wedding cake.


==History==
Later in the game, Chef Torte and his Apprentice begin working on another wedding cake.
During the events of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Chef Torte and his Apprentice were charged with creating the world's greatest wedding cake for [[Booster]] and [[Peach]]'s wedding. The two worked day and night creating a masterpiece of confectionery perfection. When all was said and done, Torte and his Apprentice created the massive [[Bundt]] wedding cake. The two rushed the cake over to the ceremony, but found it interrupted by [[Mario]], who had rescued Peach and ended the wedding. Of course, with no wedding, no one would be able to taste the perfect Bundt cake. Enraged, both Chef Torte and his Apprentice attacked Mario and his allies.


In battle, Chef Torte's Apprentice attacked by furiously slapping his opponents. Although his attacks were weak, the Apprentice (and Torte) were invulnerable (as they were merely needed for story purposes). Instead of attacking the chefs, Mario and his team concentrated their attacks on the [[Bundt]] wedding cake.

After taking enough damage, Bundt began to move. Shocked, the Apprentice tapped his master on the shoulder (and inadvertently hurts Torte in the process). The Apprentice told Torte that the cake moved. Torte looked behind himself, saw a still cake, and insulted his Apprentice, telling him to get back to work. Although the Apprentice swears he saw the cake move, he nonetheless obeyed his master. However, when the cake moved a second time, the Apprentice knew his eyes were not playing tricks on him. He tapped his master again and Torte turned around a second time. This time, however, Bundt continued to move and actually came alive. As it turns out, Bundt was so perfect, the cake became a living monster. Frightened to death, the Apprentice and his master ran for their lives, leaving Mario and his allies to fight the monstrous wedding cake.

The Apprentice is a Torte and minor boss featured in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. He and his mentor, Chef Torte, bake cakes together in the Marrymore wedding chapel.

History[edit]

During the events of the game, Chef Torte and his Apprentice are charged with creating the world's greatest wedding cake for Booster and Peach's wedding. The two rush the cake over to the ceremony, but find it interrupted by Mario, who had rescued Toadstool and ended the wedding. Enraged by the idea that no one would taste their cake with the wedding canceled, both Chef Torte and his Apprentice attack Mario's party.

In battle, the Apprentice attacks by slapping his opponents. Although his attacks are weak, the Apprentice and Chef Torte are invulnerable, requiring the player to attack the immobile cake instead.

After taking enough damage, the cake begins to move. The Apprentice notice this and taps his mentor on the shoulder, but Chef Torte, seeing the cake immobile, dismisses him and resumes battle. However, when the cake moves a second time, the Apprentice notices it again and advises Chef Torte. This time, however, the cake continues to move and actually comes alive. Frightened, the two Tortes flee the scene, leaving Mario and his allies to fight the wedding cake.

Later in the game, Chef Torte and his Apprentice begin working on another wedding cake.
