History
Whole Cake Island Arc
When Big Mom developed a craving for wedding cake and went on a rampage for it, Buche and 30 other renowned head chefs were brought to Cacao Island to make preparations for Charlotte Pudding to make a wedding cake. When Pudding, Chiffon, and Sanji arrived, the WCI 31 reported for duty, and Pudding had each of them go in the Sweets Factory one at a time. When Buche came inside, Pudding altered his memories, making him believe that the wedding between her and Sanji happened smoothly but the cake was destroyed due to bad weather. Pudding, Chiffon, and Sanji outlined the plan to make the wedding cake within 2 hours and 40 minutes, and Buche was skeptical of the relatively short amount of time they had, but Chiffon intimidated them into following the plan. The baking then began.[1]
