The Bon Appetit special ability allows the Patissier job to create various Confections that inflict status ailments, elemental weaknesses, or stat debuffs on enemies. These can be crucial for controlling the battlefield and making tough fights easier.
Status Afflicting
These Confections have a chance to inflict various status ailments on foes. Note that bosses are often immune or resistant to these effects.
| Confection | Effect | Requires |
| Poison Pastry | 75% chance to inflict poison | Genoise + Chantilly |
| Blinding Biscuit | 75% chance to inflict blind | Genoise + Streusel |
| Silencing Souffle | 75% chance to inflict silence | Genoise + Zeste |

| Lethal Layer Cake | 50% chance to inflict death | Genoise + Anglaise |

Ghostly Ganache is particularly useful as it can make your own characters invincible by turning them into ghosts.
Elemental Weakening
These Confections add temporary elemental weaknesses to enemies, making them more vulnerable to attacks of that element.
| Confection | Effect | Requires |
| Flaming Fondant | Add weakness to fire for 4 turns | Biscuit + Chantilly |

| Thunder Tart | Add weakness to lightning for 4 turns | Biscuit + Nappage |
| Gusty Genoise | Add weakness to wind for 4 turns | Biscuit + Zeste |

| Bright Blondie | Add weakness to light for 4 turns | Biscuit + Cannelle |
| Devil’s Food Cake | Add weakness to dark for 4 turns | Biscuit + Fraise |
While many enemies have natural elemental weaknesses, these Confections are useful when you lack the appropriate spells or attacks, or wish to exploit a specific weakness.
Enfeebling
These Confections reduce enemy stats for a duration, helping to mitigate damage or control their effectiveness.
| Confection | Effect | Requires |
| Wilting Winecake | Lower Physical Attack by 50% for four turns | Feuilletage + Chantilly |
| Fool’s Fruitcake | Lower Magic Attack by 50% for four turns | Feuilletage + Chocolat |
| Soft Spongecake | Lower Physical Defence by 50% for four turns | Feuilletage + Bombe |
| Upside-Down Cake | Lower Magic Defence by 50% for four turns | Feuilletage + Anglaise |
| Fat Rascal | Lower Speed by 50% for four turns | Feuilletage + Amande |
The minimum stat reduction is to 75% of the original value. These are excellent for weakening bosses. The Patissier's 'Prolong Enfeeble' ability can double the duration of these stat reductions to eight turns.
