If you are someone who enjoys relaxing farming games with a bit of creativity and charm, there’s a good chance that you have come across Grow a Garden on Roblox. One of the more enjoyable parts of this experience, aside from tending to plants and trading with friends, is the cooking feature. It lets you turn the fruits of your farming labor into tasty dishes that can be gifted to an NPC pig named “Chris P”.
One of the most popular recipes people want to figure out is Cake. It is a satisfying dish to cook, not too hard to make, and often requested by Chris P. If you are wondering how to bake the cake yourself in Grow a Garden, here is everything you need to know.
Where to Cook in Grow a Garden
Before we jump into the recipe, you should know where the cooking happens. In Grow a Garden, the Cooking Pot is located right in the center of the main hub area. It is hard to miss. There is usually a group of players gathered around it, either trying new recipes or waiting for their dishes to finish cooking.
To use the pot, all you need to do is walk up with your ingredients in hand and press E to drop them in. Once all the right items are added, click the COOK button and wait for the timer to complete. Different recipes take different amounts of time, and Cake takes a bit longer than some basic dishes.
Ingredients Needed for Cake
Now, get to the most important part – the actual recipe.
To cook Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 Watermelon
- 2 Corn
- 2 Banana
| Tier | Ingredients | Reward Potential |
| Uncommon | 2 Corn + 2 Strawberry or 2 Blueberry + 1 Corn + 1 Tomato or 2 Corn + 2 Watermelon or 1 Pumpkin + 1 Giant Pinecone + 1 Corn + 1 Apple | Basic/Common |
| Rare | 1 Blueberry + 1 Grape + 1 Apple + 1 Corn or 2 Banana + 2 Strawberry + 1 Pumpkin or 1 Ember Lily + 2 Peach | Better than Uncommon |
| Mythical | 2 Sugar Apple + 2 Corn | High-tier/Mythical |
| Legendary | 2 Kiwi + 2 Banana | Legendary-tier rewards |
| Prismatic | 3 Bone Blossom + 1 Sugar Apple + 1 Banana | Top-tier prismatic rewards |
| Divine | 1 Banana + 1 Kiwi + 3 Bone Blossom or 4 Sugar Apple + 1 Corn or 4 Elder Strawberry + 1 Corn | Divine-level (if craving matches) |
That’s it, just five simple ingredients. Be sure to use the exact amounts, because even a small change (like adding a second watermelon or fewer bananas) could result in a completely different dish. In Grow a Garden, the system is pretty sensitive to ingredient combinations.
Once you have added those five items into the cooking pot, hit the cook button and wait for the cake to bake. It took about 20 minutes to bake the cake. The cooking timer will let you know when your Cake is ready.
What to Do with the Cake
Once your Cake is cooked, you can take it over to Chris P, the big pink pig NPC who hangs out near the cooking area. He changes his cravings every hour, and if he happens to be in the mood for Cake, you’re in luck.
When he wants Cake, you’ll see it mentioned in a speech bubble above his head. Simply interact with him while holding your dish and select “Try this food I cooked up!” If it matches what he is craving, he will reward you with things like Gourmet Seed Packs, Sheckles (in-game currency), or even rare items.
It’s a good idea to check on Chris P’s craving regularly so you can prepare ahead of time and be ready when he finally wants that Cake.
Why Cake Is Worth Making
There are a few reasons players go out of their way to bake Cake in Grow a Garden. For starters, it’s often requested by Chris P, and giving him what he wants leads to better rewards. Plus, the ingredients for Cake are fairly common and easy to grow once you’ve been playing for a little while.
Watermelon, corn, and bananas are all basic crops you can unlock early in the game. You’ll just need to keep a good stock of them, so you’re ready to cook when the opportunity comes up.
A Few Helpful Tips
If you’re new to the game or the cooking system, here are a couple of tips to make things easier:
- Don’t experiment too randomly. The cooking system is picky, and guessing can waste ingredients. It’s best to stick to tried-and-tested recipes.
- Use extra fruits as fillers only when you’re sure they won’t mess with the recipe. Some players drop random fruits into the pot and end up with unexpected results.
- Time your cooking. Since Cake takes 20 minutes to cook, try to start it before going off to tend your garden or do some trading.
