The Slayer's Cake is a bakery in downtown Whitestone that is owned and originally operated by Taryon Darrington, Keyleth, Vex'ahlia, and Pike Trickfoot,[1] although now the latter is the most involved. The bakery's logo is a cupcake with Pike's mace on top.
History[]
It is unknown how successful the Slayer's Cake was at the time of opening. Reviews seem to be mixed, such as when Wilhand Trickfoot sampled one of Tary's blondies and his verdict was: "...You're a very good cleric."[2] When Tary announced his intention to return to Wildemount, he gave up his share of the bakery. He cited his reasoning was being "really bad at baking".[3] The Slayer's Cake was also one of the entrants in Westruun's Hazel Festival honey competition.[4]
By 836 PD, the Slayer's Cake had become one of the most popular bakeries in Tal'Dorei, and had opened a satellite shop in Emon. Bread is also baked weekly and sent to Nicodranas via Teleportation Circle, and the owners are considering expanding there.[5]
In 843 PD the Slayer's Cake was still an active business, and they seemed to give priority to the orders that came from Whitestone Castle.[6]

Trivia[]
- Tary came up with the bakery's name, a reference to Vox Machina's membership in the Slayer's Take guild in Vasselheim, even though Tary himself is not a member.
- For the 100th episode of Critical Role ("Unfinished Business" (1x100)), a special "TV ad" for the Slayer's Cake was made, starring Sam as Tary, Laura as Vex, Ashley as Pike, and Marisha as Keyleth doing bumper V-O. It was also announced that the Geek & Sundry store now sells aprons featuring the Slayer's Cake logo, designed by Laura herself.
- Some other baked goods and pastries were suggested by the Project Alpha crew, such as:
- Grog's Cravin' Bacon Edge (a maple bacon doughnut)
- Kiki Lime Pie
- Scanlan's Strawberry Shorthaltcake
- In Exquisite Exandria: The Official Cookbook of Critical Role, several recipes come from the files of the Slayer's Cake, including:
