If the player gives Tayce T. her [[Frying Pan]] (which a [[Shy Guy]] stole shortly before Chapter 4), she will bake Mario a [[Cake]]. Upon doing so, she mentions that she only bakes cakes for special people because it was a delicious Cake that won her late husband over, therefore making Cakes a heartfelt item for her to prepare. [[Wonky]] states in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' that Zess T. has an almost identical issue with [[Couple's Cake]].

After Chapter 1, Tayce T. can be found in a house near the entrance of the southern area in [[Toad Town]]. There is a kitchen in the house.
