Meanwhile in Paper Mario...why in the name of fuck do I gotta go through a dumb baking minigame as captured Peach?

Not pictured: the fact you can throw random ingredients into the cake both before and after baking. Hope you like a cake topped with raw eggs, butter, salt, dish soap, some water, more salt, maybe a touch more dish soap, and some extra salt.
I would be less pissed if "bake for 30 seconds oh wait just stop when you think 30 seconds have passed" wasn't part of it.
