Follow this Borderlands 3 walkthrough for the 'Just Desserts' side mission. Learn how to collect gunpowder, spiderant eggs, candles, and deliver the cake.

Alright, let's tackle the 'Just Desserts' side mission in Borderlands 3! Beatrice needs some help with a cake, and we're just the Vault Hunters to get it done. It's pretty straightforward, mostly involving some ingredient gathering and a bit of delivery.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Collect Gunpowder: First things first, head to the southeast part of the map. You'll find a fenced-off area with some enemies hanging out. Clear them out – they're just cannon fodder. Once the area is secure, look for a ladder at the back and climb up to grab the barrel of gunpowder. Easy peasy.
  2. 2
    Collect Spiderant Eggs: Now, make your way back towards where you first met Beatrice, but keep going past her location to the waypoint marked on your map. You're looking for a Spiderant cave. Inside, you'll find some glowing red pods. Shoot these pods; they'll explode and release a bunch of spiderant eggs. Grab those.
  3. 3
    Deliver Ingredients to Beatrice: With both the gunpowder and spiderant eggs in hand, head back to Beatrice. Hand over the ingredients she needs.
  4. 4
    Collect Candles: After you give her the first set of ingredients, Beatrice will have one more request: candles. She'll direct you to a room near the back of the building. Head in there and pick up the candles.
  5. 5
    Deliver Cake & Assemble: Now for the final stretch. Grab the three layers of cake from the table. Follow the waypoint on your map to where you need to assemble the cake. Once it's assembled, add the candles you just collected. Then, ring the doorbell! The game will prompt you to melee the cake. Do it! This sends the cake flying into the cave, where it'll explode.
  6. 6
    Talk to Beatrice: All that's left is to chat with Beatrice one last time. She'll be happy (or at least, as happy as someone in Borderlands can be), and the mission will be complete.
Tips
  • Don't get too caught up in the fight with the initial enemies; they're just there to slow you down. Focus on clearing them quickly so you can get to the gunpowder.
  • The spiderant pods explode, so be ready for that. It's not a huge deal, but it's good to know.
  • Meleeing the cake is the final step to sending it off. Make sure you're ready to press that button when prompted!
