Upon entering the stage, Princess Peach is already Patissiere Peach. Stella comments that the area is weird and suggests to find the Patissiere Sparkla. After making some progress to the right, the Patissiere Sparkla is found, but she is corrupted by the Dark Baker. She welcomes the two to Madame Grape's baking stage and wants to bake with them. She then travels to a bakery further to the right. Patissiere Peach must follow the Sparkla inside.

Once inside the bakery, the possessed Sparkla challenges Patissiere Peach, which involves baking a triple-layered character cake, with the first baker to do so the winner. The first layer is the base of the cake, which has Peach using icing to connect macarons on the edges. The second layer involves piping icing around the macarons in a "+" shape around the edges. The third layer has Peach decorating the head of the cake, using icing to make the eyes and hat. After Patissiere Peach wins the contest, the corrupted Patissiere Sparkla does not accept her loss and wants to taste the cake herself. After tasting the cake, the Sparkla becomes cleansed and compliments Peach's baking. Peach and the Sparkla then make their escape. As they travel to the right, they are taunted by the Dark Baker.

The patissieres then find the exit, but curtains close over it. The Dark Baker then arrives and challenges the two to a bake-off. The first team to fill five plates with cookies wins. During the contest, the Dark Baker jumps and Ground Pounds between the four bowls, knocking away anyone who may be standing there or baking. The Dark Baker can use a mixer and bake up a lot of cookies at a time, tossing them to a plate afterwards. The Patissiere Sparkla can also bake some cookies on her own, but Peach can bake with her, baking a large batch of cookies at once. After the patissieres fill all five plates with cookies, the Dark Baker becomes angry and declares that taste is more important than speed. Peach and the Sparkla then bake a giant cookie for the Dark Baker to eat, who becomes overwhelmed by the taste and disintegrates. The curtains vanish as well, allowing for the patissieres to escape and for the stage to be complete.

Stella ribbon

Multicolored Patissiere Ribbon: To the right of the entrance to the bakery where the cake decorating contest is held is the Ribboner. He is hungry, and so Patissiere Peach must head back slightly to where Patissiere Sparkla was first encountered and bake cookies for him. The quality of the cookies do not affect the outcome. After he eats, he becomes full of energy and his mood is brightened.

  • Help request: "I'm so hungry..."
  • Rescue message: "Positively delicious! I'm full of energy!"

Hidden Theet

The hidden Theet is found to the left of the entrance to the bakery where the cake decorating section is.
