The cake quest in Dress To Impress hands you a five-item shopping list and then scatters those items across the map, from the lobby’s dressing room to the beach boardwalk. Nothing is randomized, so once you know the five pickup points you can clear the whole run in a couple of minutes.
Quick answer: Press “Start Game” at the kitchen station in the lobby to open the Cake Ingredients! checklist, then collect Flour from the purple bicycle basket outside, Sugar from the Recording Studios kitchen set, Butter from the beach boardwalk counter, Milk from the green house kitchen counter, and Eggs from the vanity table in the lobby, then walk back to the Cake Station.
All five cake ingredient locations
Each ingredient sits on a surface you can click directly. Interacting with one shows a “Take” prompt, and picking it up ticks that entry off the checklist.
| Ingredient | Where it sits |
|---|---|
| Flour | In the basket of a purple bicycle, outside the lobby past two sets of stairs |
| Sugar | On a shelf in the kitchen set inside the Recording Studios |
| Butter | On a counter along the beach boardwalk |
| Milk | On the kitchen counter beside the stove in the green house near the beach |
| Eggs | On the vanity table in the lobby’s dressing room area |

Collecting each ingredient in order
The route below keeps backtracking to a minimum. You can grab them in any order, but this path runs from the lobby down to the beach and back up.




How to confirm each pickup registered
Every successful grab throws up its own confirmation, so you never have to guess. Clicking the item shows a “Take” prompt first, and once it is yours the screen reads “Collected Flour!”, “Collected Sugar!”, “Collected Butter!”, “Collected Milk!”, or “Collected Eggs!” and the matching line on the checklist is marked off.
Note: If an item does not respond to a click, check that the checklist is actually on screen. The pickups only become interactive after you press “Start Game” at the kitchen station.
Baking the cake at the Cake Station
Once all five are ticked off, the game tells you exactly where to go with the message “Collected all ingredients! Head back to the Cake Station!” That prompt is your cue that nothing else is left to find on the map.
Return to the same kitchen table in the lobby where you started and interact with it to trigger the baking sequence. If the station does nothing when you click it, one ingredient is still outstanding, so reopen the checklist and see which of the five has no tick beside it.
The full loop is short enough that it is worth memorizing the order, especially if you plan to run it more than once. Flour and Eggs bookend the route in and around the lobby, while Sugar, Butter, and Milk sit along the stretch between the Recording Studios and the beach.
