	— Four, everytime from BFB when Cake at Stake is starting in BFB

Cake at Stake (also called Brake at Flake by Four) is a closed ceremony for the losers who are up for elimination in Battle for Dream Island, BFDIA, and BFB.

The ceremony was introduced in episode 2, leaving Flower to become the first person eliminated from the game with four votes.

The intro has been changed four times up to Gardening Hero, varying from the simple saying of "Cake at Stake" to a small "eating song" for it, to a mini song devoted to it, but re-created in Episode 20. An added bonus to Cake at Stake is that cake is not always used to grant safety, with the prizes ranging from crackers to shovels.

Cake at Stake had a new system in BFDIA. Instead of commenting to vote, voters must rate separate videos (either with a like or dislike) tied to the contestants. The contestant with the most likes will be able to spin a wheel to get a prize, and the contestant with the most dislikes will get eliminated. The first contestant to get eliminated in Battle for Dream Island Again was Donut.

In BFB, the Cake at Stake system changed again. At the voting screen, there is a letter in a bracket that stands for another character. The letter in the bracket must be commented to vote. In BFB, when a contestant is eliminated, they enter the EXIT.

Notes

In episode 2, the "at" in the Cake at Stake intro is pink and the intro fades out. However, from episode 3 onward, the "at" is green and there is no fade. This was probably the result of having to remake the Cake at Stake intro in its own separate flash (.FLA) file. The original cake at stake intro was found in the FLA source files for BFDI episode 2 scene 1.
In episode 8, there was no Cake at Stake as the Tiny Loser Chamber was too small to fit any more contestants at that time.
In episode 9, the Cake at Stake was for the returning contestant. Blocky returned.
In episode 10, the Cake at Stake intro changed to the cake eating version.
In episode 13, the Cake at Stake intro changed to "There's points now" version.
In episode 15, it was revealed David had 39 votes, and Announcer asked viewers to not vote him.
In episode 17, Pencil got her first vote by a YouTuber named englishcreamcakes. Since then she has been receiving votes.
In episode 18, two Cake at Stakes were done: one for the regular players, and one for the recommended characters.
In episode 19, Pencil became the player eliminated with the highest number of votes up to that point: 259. Also, for the first time in the background, dramatic music was played during the Cake at Stake.
In episode 20, the Cake at Stake intro changed to "The Points are Gone" (paper) version. David also had the most votes for elimination: 331.
In episode 21, the Cake at Stake place changed once again, and also had 2 sessions done. One for the returning contestant (who is Flower), and also one for an elimination. Over 400 people voted for Icy. 9 eliminated contestants, and all recommended characters ever on this month.
In episode 25, the final Cake at Stake in Season 1 was done to determine the winner of BFDI. This also featured the first double elimination, with Bubble and Leafy losing and Firey winning Dream Island. However, Bubble and Leafy did not go to the TLC, since Announcer released all the other 18 contestants, and BFDI Season 1 was over.
In "Welcome Back", there was no Cake at Stake. However, Puffball is revealed to be eliminated from the show, implying that a Cake at Stake for the elimination happened offscreen before the event of IDFB. There was no prize for the object with the most likes, which is Firey, though.
In Lick Your Way to Freedom, the first Cake at Stake intro got remixed, although the "at" is still pink and still fades out. This is used for the succeeding Battle For BFDI episodes.
In Why Would You Do This on a Swingset, the intro was omitted.
In What Do You Think of Roleplay? and Return of the Rocket Ship, the intro uses soundbites from Patrons who donated one dollar under the "Sing Cake at Stake" reward.
So far, 12 variations of the Cake at Stake intro have been used.

Trivia

Get in the Van is the first ever episode to use a cake which is the corpse of a contestant.
- Get in the Van is, in fact, the first and only episode in BFDIA which does not use regular cake.
- Pie, before she was a contestant, was used as a cake in Bowling, Now with Explosions! and the Firey Speaker Box was used as a cake in Questions Answered.
Cake at Stake happens every 4 o'clock afternoon as revealed in "Get in the Van".
- Despite this, when Firey complains that CAS should have already started in "Get in the Van", the clock displays 3:55, meaning there would still be 5 minutes.
In only nine episodes, an actual cake is used, and in three, a pie is used.
In total, there is 10 cake at stake intros, including both versions of the first intro, AnimationEpic's intro in The Glistening and the one in the final episode.
In BFB, there seem to be three versions of the Cake at Stake intro, the second one being a version after Donut pointed out there wasn't one last time, and the third one being nothing but the first intro used since BFDI (season 1) and the rest just being a black screen.
In BFB, every even-numbered episode has had a proper Cake at Stake intro, and every odd-numbered episode has had either no Cake at Stake intro or a broken one. This was later broken in the 7th episode.
In BFB 8 and 9, it is revealed that Clock rings every time Cake at Stake is about to start.
Pin's cake-baking skills, which were congratulated in Enter the Exit, is an allusion to her first-place victory on the cake-baking challenge of Sweet Tooth.
