Why the Breeding Farm needs cake
The game's text for the Breeding Farm: assign one male and one female Pal, and cake in the farm is required to make eggs. Which baby you get is up to the parents (try the breeding calculator); the cake decides how good the egg is.
Which cake to use
In the game: “Put it in the chest at a Breeding Farm to make Pals lay a particularly healthy egg.”
- 1%Mutation chance

Special Cake also makes the baby inherit all of its parents' active skills. Only the Ancient Kitchen can cook it. Every passive on a parent can be passed on, so give the parents only the passives you want. See passing passives to babies.
Where the ingredients come from
Grow what you can and ranch the rest, so the kitchen never waits. An Ancient Hatchery (level 76) breeds and hatches on its own and eats through cake much faster, so build up the ingredients first.

More eggs, faster eggs
- Braloha at your base: Breeding Farm egg production 20–50% faster (partner skill).
- Dynamoff at your base: eggs incubate 20–40% faster (partner skill).
- Philanthropist and Babysitter passives speed up the farm itself.
- Grintale in your party: picking up a Pal Egg has a 50–75% chance of giving one extra (partner skill). Player report: players say this also works on eggs you collect from a Breeding Farm once its saddle is crafted, so a Vegetable Cake batch can give up to four eggs. Test a batch with and without it.
- Broncherry or Broncherry Aqua in your party: Pal Eggs you pick up have a 35–45% or 45–55% chance of becoming an Alpha Pal Egg (partner skills; the game says the effect does not stack). Player report: players use them while collecting from a regular Breeding Farm, and some say carrying both helped. It works on eggs you pick up, so test a small batch first.
- One passive or several? Hunting for one passive, players use Vegetable Cake for more eggs, so more rolls. Keeping several of the parents' passives together, they use Special Cake. Players disagree on the fastest route for a single passive, so compare small batches (player reports, July and November).
