Cake with Pink Candle

What is a Cake with Pink Candle?

A Cake with Pink Candle is a decorative and interactive block in Minecraft, created by placing a Pink Candle on top of a Cake. This allows players to light the candle for celebrations, cute-themed events, or pastel decorations. When the Cake is eaten, the Candle remains, making it a perfect addition to birthday parties, fairy-tale builds, and romantic settings.

Like all Candle Cakes, the Pink Candle can be lit using Flint and Steel or a Fire Charge, and the flame can be extinguished by right-clicking.

Where Can Cake with Pink Candle Be Found?

A Cake with Pink Candle does not generate naturally and must be crafted by players. To create one:

1. Craft a Cake – Using 3 Wheat, 3 Buckets of Milk, 2 Sugar, and 1 Egg in a Crafting Table.
2. Craft a Pink Candle – Made from 1 String and 1 Pink Dye (obtained by combining Red Dye (from Poppies or Roses) and White Dye (from Bone Meal), or from Pink Tulips and Peonies).
3. Place the Cake down first – Then, right-click the Cake with the Pink Candle to attach it.
4. Light the Candle – Use Flint and Steel or a Fire Charge to ignite it.

Once placed, the Cake can still be eaten slice by slice, and when fully consumed, the Pink Candle remains behind as a separate block.
