Even though the appearance varies from game to game, it is often featured with more than one layer and is almost always decorated with cream and strawberries.

====''Super Mario 64''/''Super Mario 64 DS''====
[[Image:TheEnd.png|thumb|left|150px|The cake at the ending of ''Super Mario 64''.]]
In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', Princess Peach writes Mario a letter inviting him to [[Princess Peach's Castle|her castle]] telling him that she baked a cake for him. However, Mario first has to collect the [[Power Star]]s and save the princess who has been kidnapped by [[Bowser]] before he gets what he has been promised. The cake itself is shown on the ending picture, featuring little figures of Mario and Peach.
''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' begins with the same letter from Peach to Mario but with the difference that [[Luigi]] and [[Wario]] also follow Peach's invitation to the castle. The cake in the ending picture is exactly the same as in the original ''Super Mario 64'', but this time little figures of [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]] and [[Wario]] are standing next to [[Mario]] and [[Princess Peach]]. If a hero is not saved when the game is completed, the corresponding figure will be missing from the cake.
====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[Image:Cake_Planet.PNG|thumb|One of the cake planets in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.]]
Cakes made an appearance in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. There are several huge cake planets in the [[Toy Time Galaxy]] in the mission "[[Toy Time Galaxy#Bouncing Down Cake Lane|Bouncing Down Cake Lane]]". At the last cake planet before the battle with the [[Undergrunt Gunner]], Mario must spin near all the candles to make the flames go out, which reveals a [[Launch Star]]. There is also a giant cake at the end of [[Sweet Sweet Galaxy]] where the Power Star is located.
====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:NSMBW Prologue.png|thumb|left|Bowser's children in front of the cake in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.]]
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', there was a cake presented for Peach's birthday, but [[Bowser Jr.]] and the seven [[Koopalings]] were hiding inside the cake and used it to kidnap the princess.
====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
{{Quote|...My huge cake...never got a slice...|Bowser}}
[[File:CakeSMG2.png|thumb|200px|A cake in the ending scene in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.]]
In a very similar way to ''Super Mario 64'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' starts with a letter from Princess Peach to Mario inviting him to eat some cake while watching the shooting stars. Bowser also wants some cake and kidnaps Peach, since it fits his new huge appearance, but he doesn't get any. The cake is seen much later in the game; it has the appearance of a huge cake resembling the one in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and can be seen in front of Peach's Castle during the game's ending credits (if riding [[Yoshi]], the fruits on the cake can actually be eaten). Several cakes and other sweets of varying sizes also appear in the [[Sweet Mystery Galaxy]] in this game.

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', there was an enemy named [[Bundt]], who was a wedding cake. It was the creation of [[Chef Torte]]  and his  [[Chef Torte's Apprentice|apprentice]]. A masterpiece of culinary perfection, Bundt was so outstanding, it actually came to life.

In ''[[Mario Party]]'', a board called [[Peach's Birthday Cake]] takes place on a giant birthday cake. It is one of the smallest boards in the series. Players need to collect stars to complete the cake. At the end of the game, the winner's stars form into a large star that flashes and the board turns into a birthday cake. Additionally, in the same game, one of [[Bowser's Bogus Items]] is a [[Bowser Cake]], the item for Peach's Birthday Cake.
''[[Mario Party 2]]'' features a 2-vs-2 player [[minigame]] called [[Cake Factory]]. In order to win, the team has to make more cakes than the other by grabbing ingredients from a conveyor belt and placing them in the correct order on a plate.

Two cakes, each with three layers, are also featured in the ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' [[Game Guy]] minigame [[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 ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', the 2-vs-2/duel minigame [[Sugar Rush (minigame)|Sugar Rush]] has the teams competing against each other in duplicating two cakes by grabbing toppings from a tray and placing them on the cake, as a [[Koopa Troopa]] placed them.

A cake also appeared in the [[Club Nintendo]] comic "[[Rummelplatzquatsch]]" on a [[Game Boy]] screen after [[Mario]] bought a [[Game Boy Camera]] that was said to be able to foresee the future.

It has been requested that this article be rewritten.

Cake is a form of sweet, baked dessert and a recurring object in the Mario series. Even though the appearance varies from game to game, it is often featured with more than one layer and is almost always decorated with cream and strawberries. Cakes are often associated with Princess Peach, as she usually bakes one for Mario upon her rescue. Throughout the Paper Mario series, there are many variations of cakes that can be prepared by the cooks including Choco Cake, Couple's Cake, Fruity Cake, Mousse Cake, Nutty Cake, Shroom Cake and Strange Cake.

History

Paper Mario series

Paper Mario

Template:Recipe-Infobox 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. A 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 back story is extremely similar to that given for Couple's Cake by Wonky in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

Peach also has to bake a cake for Gourmet Guy in Chapter four. She uses Butter, Cream, Flour, Milk, Salt, Strawberries and Sugar to bake a cake delicious enough for Gourmet Guy to eat. The ingredients need to be combined in the right order and then to be heated in an oven for thirty seconds in order to be able to complete the interlude task. Putting Cleanser as an ingredient will ruin the cake.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door a cake was delivered to Mario in the Glitz Pit by a fan of his. If Mario and his partner eat it, it will refill all of the party's stats.

Later, another "fan" gives Mario a cake. Mario's partner eats it first this time around, but before they have time to give some to Mario, they start to feel sick and Mario will have to fight the next competitor alone. Before fighting with Rawk Hawk, he reveals that he tricked them into eating the poisoned cake.

If Mario decides not to eat the cake, (though Mario's partner will say otherwise), Shellshock will eat it instead, either saying that the cake tasted really good or he got poisoned by it.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star

A cake sticker also appears in Paper Mario: Sticker Star, and can be found in the Enigmansion, on the kitchen table. It is not required to progress through the game. When used in battle, it plays the birthday song and heals Mario completely, if the player blows in to the microphone to put out the candles.

Wario series

One of Wario's reaction abilities in Wario Land II is turning into Fat Wario after eating cake thrown by a Cook. While being fat, Wario has the ability to destroy enemies and certain blocks by simply bouncing them off his stomach, but he gets very slow and can't jump very high anymore.
