Pink Cake is a sweet cake topped with little heart candies, and it is one of the richest dishes a farmhouse kitchen can make. The Queen of Sauce teaches it late in the second Summer. Baking a Melon with Wheat Flour, Sugar and an Egg gives a cake that sells for more than the four ingredients would fetch raw. It also restores a large amount of energy and health. Haley, Jas, Marnie and Vincent all love it, so one batch covers four villagers. Three Pink Cakes are also the reward for the Chef's Bundle.
The in-game description reads: There's little heart candies on top.
Recipe
The Queen of Sauce teaches Pink Cake on a Sunday near the end of the second Summer. A missed episode can still be caught later. On Wednesdays the channel shows a rerun of a recipe from an earlier Sunday.
Cooking a Melon with Wheat Flour, Sugar and an Egg makes Pink Cake.
The recipe is simply the Chocolate Cake with a Melon added. Anyone who already bakes Chocolate Cake has everything else on hand.
The Melon is a Summer crop. Pierre's General Store sells Melon Seeds in Summer, and the plant needs twelve days to ripen. Melons only grow outdoors in Summer, so a few kept in a chest allow cakes in any season.
Wheat Flour and Sugar are sold at Pierre's General Store all year. A Mill makes both much more cheaply. One Wheat turns into one Wheat Flour, and one Beet turns into three Sugar, ready the next morning. Eggs come from chickens in a Coop.
These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Effects
Pink Cake restores a large amount of energy and health in one bite. That makes it a strong meal to carry on a long day in the Mines or the Skull Cavern. Its real worth, though, lies in its price and in how many villagers love it.
Prices
Pink Cake sells for a little more than its ingredients are worth raw. With Wheat Flour and Sugar from a Mill, the cake always turns a profit, even with the lowest quality Melon.
Bought flour and sugar change the sums. Pierre charges twice what each one sells for. With store-bought flour and sugar, the cake earns slightly less than selling the Melon and the Egg would.
A Keg is the bigger rival. It turns a Melon into Melon Wine worth far more than a whole cake. For pure profit, the best Melons belong in Kegs, and Pink Cake is best made from spare or low quality fruit.
Gifts
Haley, Jas, Marnie and Vincent love Pink Cake. A loved gift gives almost twice the friendship of a liked one, and a gift on a birthday counts eight times over. Haley and Vincent have Spring birthdays, Jas has hers in Summer and Marnie has hers in Fall. A cake saved from the Summer before covers all four.
Abigail, Alex, Caroline, Clint, Demetrius, the Dwarf, Elliott, Emily, Evelyn, George, Gus, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus, Maru, Pam, Penny, Pierre, Robin, Sam, Sandy, Sebastian, Shane and the Wizard like it.
Harvey, Krobus, Leah, Leo and Willy dislike it.
These villagers love receiving Pink Cake as a gift.

Notes
Pink Cake turns up in many places outside the kitchen. Completing the Chef's Bundle on the Bulletin Board in the Community Center gives three of them. Big Slimes sometimes carry a Pink Cake inside, and it drops when the slime is defeated. Haley sells Pink Cakes for Calico Eggs at the Desert Festival. Krobus may stock it in his shop on Saturdays, and a Mystery Box can hold one. It can also arrive as a present at the Feast of the Winter Star.
A male farmer receives a Pink Cake in a letter from Mom after earning a large total of money.
The Statue Of Endless Fortune makes a Pink Cake on the birthdays of Haley, Jas and Vincent. All three love it, so the gift is ready on the right day.
In tailoring, Pink Cake in the Sewing Machine makes a Shirt. It also fills the red dye pot at Emily and Haley's house.
