Cake (Super Mario RPG)
A cake baked by Chef Torte and his apprentice is a boss in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. It was baked for Booster and Princess Peach's wedding ceremony. However, after Mario and Bowser interrupt the wedding and rescues Peach, the angered Tortes attack Mario and his allies.
During this fight, Bundt is the only object that can be damaged. After taking several hits, Bundt starts to move. Chef Torte's apprentice tells his master this, but Chef Torte ignores him. When Bundt moves a second time, Chef Torte and his apprentice retreat. Meanwhile, Mario and his allies must defeat Bundt by extinguishing all five of Bundt's candles with physical attacks before hitting Bundt itself. Bundt can relight one candle each time it attacks, however, and it can attack multiple times in one turn. After being defeated, Bundt's top layers disappear, leaving the base layer, Raspberry, to fight Mario.
Raspberry is the bottom half of Bundt, appearing once Bundt is first defeated. While it has the same vulnerabilities as Bundt, Raspberry has lower HP, and higher attack. After Raspberry is defeated, Booster orders his Snifsters to take it and help him eat it up, ending the battle and Princess Peach's wedding.

The bottom layer of Torte's cake. If it had to be born a cake, it wishes that its baker had gone with the more traditional strawberries rather than raspberries.

Having been created for a celebration, it naturally thinks each time its candles are lit is a joyous occasion, which makes it more and more excited.

Trivia
- On the field, Bundt only has one layer, which seems to be its middle layer in battle. This is changed in the remake; the entire cake is now shown out of battle.
- Bundt's "candle" has separate stats internally, but only Bundt itself is targeted. Both the Shogakukan and Nintendo Power guides mention the candle as a boss enemy as well.[1][2]
- In the original Japanese iteration, Raspberry's name is thematic with Bundt's, as it is in turn called "Strawberry." However, as its name was changed in localization, the naming connection was lost.
