• After crafting your first cake, you will gain the achievement "The Lie".

• Cakes are really for fun more than being a reliable food source. They're ingredient intensive, they do not stack (and so take up a lot of inventory space if more than one is kept) and they only provide a low level of saturation. They're probably best kept for a celebration or for a sharing activity during the game. And it does have the advantage of restoring six units of the hunger bar.

• It takes time to gather the ingredients to make a cake. It's not something a new player will be able to rush into doing.

• If you destroy a cake, you lose the cake and gain nothing, as nothing is dropped.
