Most players don't know that cakes can be bought from an expert-level farmer villager for one emerald.

Farmer villagers' levels can be increased by trading many times with them. Players who find an expert farmer with a cake trade are extremely lucky. This trade is certainly not the greatest in the early game. However, in the late game, it may prove to be a wonderful trade.

Cakes contain seven different slices, each of which restores two hunger points.

Due to the fact that eating a cake has no animation, players can fill their hunger bar extremely quickly.

If the player, for some reason, has a cake in their inventory and finds themself in a sticky situation, they can rapidly place the cake down and fill up their hunger bar.
