Cake is a food block that can be eaten by the player.
Candle cake[upcoming: 1.17] is a light-producing variation created when a candle is used on an uneaten cake.
Contents
Obtaining[edit]
Breaking[edit]
Once the cake is placed, it cannot be recollected even with the use of Silk Touch. Candle cakes always drop their respective candle when broken.

Crafting[edit]
Ingredients | Crafting recipe | Description |
---|---|---|
Milk Bucket + Sugar + Egg + Wheat |
Empty buckets remain in the crafting grid after crafting the cake. |
Trading[edit]
Expert-level farmer villagers can sell cake for a single emerald each.
Usage[edit]
Unlike most food, the cake cannot be eaten as an item in the hotbar. Before being eaten, it must first be placed on top of a solid block.
Each cake has seven "slices"; each use consumes one slice progressing inward from the west. A single slice restores 2 () hunger and 0.4 hunger saturation. Eating all seven slices of a cake restores 14 (
× 7) hunger and 2.8 hunger saturation.
Since eating a cake comes with no animation, the cake can be eaten at a rate of one slice per tick. Multiple players can eat from the same cake at the same time. In Java Edition, eating cake makes no sound, unlike other foods.
As a redstone component, when connected to a comparator, a whole cake emits a signal strength of 14. The signal strength decreases two units with each slice.
Pandas[edit]
Some pandas move toward a dropped cake to pick up and eat it. Some may not, depending on the cake's location.
Composting[edit]
Placing a cake into a composter raises the compost level by 1.
Candle cakes[edit]
Using a candle on an uneaten cake creates a candle cake of that color (including uncolored). Eating the cake causes the candle to drop. Clicking on a cake again while sneaking or with full hunger bar removes the candle from the cake.
Using flint and steel, fire charge, or any flaming projectile on an unlit candle cake lights its candle. Lit candle cakes emit light level of 3. Clicking on the lit candle (but not the cake) extinguishes it.

Cake "item"[edit]
- Bedrock Edition history (addition, changes made)
- Any potential item form changes as this block was 3D rendered, and was allegedly bigger
- Was this not the Creative-obtainable version of cake in Console Edition for a while?
- In fact, wasn't this the Survival-obtainable cake for a while as well?.

Issues[edit]
Issues relating to "Cake" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.
Trivia[edit]
Interaction[edit]
- Because cake is only 7⁄8 blocks wide, it is possible to stand on the edge of a block beneath a cake.
- Cake destroys falling blocks if placed under them, similar to a torch.
- It is possible to place cake on top of another cake by placing a cake on the ground, then placing another cake on the side of a block above and to the side of the first cake, similar to placing torches on a chest. Eating the lower cake causes the upper cake to disappear, the same as mining out the block of cake it is sitting on.
- It is also possible to place cakes (or any other block) on top of cakes by sneaking and placing a cake on top of another cake.
- Mobs on top rotate while attempting to move, a pathfinding oversight shared with fences.
- If cake is placed in a hole one block deep, players can get across the hole without jumping, although a player standing on the cake must jump to get out of the hole.
- Cake can be used to create a functioning staircase, by placing a cake on each level of a 1 block by 1 block incline. This would be one of the most labor-intensive staircases available, given the requirements to craft a cake, compared to any other method of creating a staircase. This staircase is also extremely overpowered when combined with a horse being one of the fastest forms of travel.
Miscellaneous[edit]
- Cake was added to Minecraft following the ModDB 2010 Indie of the Year Awards. Notch agreed to add cake to Minecraft if it won, which led to a campaign called "The Quest For Cake". Minecraft won 3 of the 7 awards, including the "Indie of the Year" award.
- Placing a cake makes the same sound as placing wool.
- The player can place cake on top of a bed, and while sleeping, the cake shows on the player's screen as if it were on top of their head.
- The name of the achievement is a reference to the internet meme "The Cake is a Lie", which originated from Valve's game, Portal.
- On May 17, 2019, for the 10th anniversary of Minecraft, the cake model was changed to display a "10" above it, made of white concrete.
