| Latest appearance | Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch) (2023) |
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 rescue Peach, the angered Tortes attack Mario and his allies.
During this fight, the cake is the only object that can be damaged. After taking several hits, the cake starts to move. The apprentice tells Chef Torte, who ignores him. When the cake moves a second time, the Tortes retreat, and all five of the cake's candles light up. The cake's top and bottom layers, referred to as Bundt and Raspberry respectively, attack independently from each other, but only Bundt can be attacked at first. Bundt can only be defeated by hitting it with a physical attack once all five candles are extinguished. One candle is put out whenever Bundt is hit with a physical attack. However, Bundt can relight one candle each time it attacks. After being defeated, Bundt disappears, allowing Raspberry to be damaged. Once Raspberry is defeated, Booster orders his Snifsters to take it and help him eat it up, ending the battle and Princess Peach's wedding.

TriviaEdit
- On the field, the cake 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.
