Cake Slice

Birthday cake won back from a dodo

The Cake Slice is a resource in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The ARK Wiki ties it to the ARK: 5th Anniversary event in ASE. The in-game text: "A delicious piece of birthday cake, recovered from a theiving dodo! Sweet revenge!" Despite the name, the wiki's ASE page points out that it cannot be eaten and does not spoil. It should not be mixed up with similarly named items such as the Taming Cake Slice or the Breeding Cake Slice.

Where slices come from

Slices come from the Party Dodo, which the wiki says turns up during the ARK: 5th Anniversary event, and that dodo is the one loot source in our records. A slice weighs 1 and they stack to 50, so a full stack weighs 50. Our data lists the item on 7 maps, among them The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration and Extinction.

Recipes that take slices

The ARK Wiki notes that in ASE the slices go into a Cooking Pot to craft other items. In ASA our records list 9 recipes:

• 10 slices for the ARK Anniversary Surprise Cake structure
• 10 for Anniversary Candy
• 5 each for the Chibi Dino Random Craftable Birthday, Unlock Emote DJ Craftable and Unlock Emote Rave Craftable
• 1 each for the Birthday Suit Pants, Birthday Suit Shirt, Dino Party Hat and Party Hat skins

ASE has 6: the ARK Anniversary Surprise Cake (10), the Random Chibi-Dino (5), and the Birthday Suit Pants Skin, Birthday Suit Shirt Skin, Dino Party Hat Skin and Party Hat Skin at 1 slice each.
