Trivia

 * The cake that is baked looks similar to the cake that Nicole baked for Miss Simmian in "The Ape" and later to the cake Gumball made in "The Knights".
 * This marks the appearance of another fruit character.
 * Lewis bears a slight resemblance to Gumball, making him one character to do so.
 * The locker and desk talking to Lewis are a reference to "The World" where all the objects in Elmore are alive.
 * This marks another moment where Anton is eaten by someone else.
 * When Mr. Small goes berserk for cake, he screams "The cake is a lie!" which is a reference to The Portal.
 * The part where the word "cake" is not to be said could be a reference to Harry Potter where they don't say Voldemort's name.
 * Principal Brown shouting "Who wants to eat some cake?" at the end is a reference to Buddy from Cake Boss.
 * The voices used by 3 child actors for the new characters weren't their regular speaking voices since they already hit puberty at the time they voiced other characters from other animated TV shows. They had to use a sound machine to make their voices more high pitched.
