Notes
This character has been in the game since release 2012-04-04 when the first Caketastrophe had place.
Biscotti is the Skylark's head chef. She can be found in the Laboratory next to her Sprite Food Alchemy Machine. She gives the player information about the diet of Battle Sprites.
This NPC's name alludes to a cookie of the same name.
Caketastrophe
During the Spiral Knights anniversary Caketastrophe event she can be found in the Town Square standing between Bulky and Maskwell. She was under pressure trying to bake enough cakes for the celebrations, so she infused Dark Matter into the batch, creating the carnivorous Creep Cakes due to the dark powers and chaos that is contained with in Dark Matter .
In the 
Event Mission: Total Caketastrophe!, her kitchen has been infested with the Cake Creeps and needs assistance, so the player and their party are assigned to help.
Apparently, she is very embarrassed by the events, so she tries to cover up the whole incident.

Hi there, PLAYERNAME! As Head Chef of the Skylark I've been assigned to oversee the nutritional development of our new sprite companions. They seem to have really diversified themselves down there in the Clockworks. It will be interesting to see how they develop.MainDo you have any questions about feeding and caring for your sprite?
|
|
- How do I feed my battle sprite?
- Tell me about appetite.
- Tell me about favored items.
- Tell me about required items.
- Nothing right now, thanks. (Ends conversation)
How do I feed my battle sprite?
If the player chooses "How do I feed my battle sprite?"
|
|
Feeding your battle sprite is easy! Simply open up your battle sprite interface and select your sprite icon. From there you can select a material from your arsenal to drop into the feeding tray.
Once you've queued up a material for your sprite to synthesize, simply click 'feed to sprite' and bon appetite!
|
|
- I have other questions. (Goes back to the beginning)
- That's it for now, thanks! (Ends conversation)
Tell me about appetite
If the player chooses "Tell me about appetite"
|
|
| Sprites have a set appetite that limits the amount of materials they can eat at any one give time. When you feed a material to your sprite, its appetite will deplete. Once full depleted, you will be unable to feed it.
|
|
- How does appetite increase?
|
|
| A sprite's appetite will increase naturally over time, though slowly. To increase appetite quickly, take it for a run in the Clockworks. Absorbing heat from monsters is a great way to burn calories!
|
|
- I have other questions. (Goes back to the beginning)
- That's it for now, thanks! (Ends conversation)
Tell me about favored items
If the player chooses "Tell me about favored items"
|
|
| At any given time a sprite has a 'favored item', a special material that it enjoys eating the most. Feeding one of these to your sprite is a great treat and grants the sprite a lot of heat.
|
|
- Where can I acquire these items?
|
|
| Favored items can be alchemized using this very alchemy machine you see before you. All it takes is two of any one material and some minerals from the Clockworks. Easy!
|
|
- I have other questions. (Goes back to the beginning)
- That's it for now, thanks! (Ends conversation)
Tell me about required items
If the player chooses "Tell me about required items"
|
|
| Required items will appear once your sprite is ready to level up. After your sprite has consumed enough heat, a 'required material' notice will appear above the feeding tray. This material MUST be fed to the sprite in order for it to advance further.
|
|
|
|
| In most cases this is just a standard favored items, but when your sprite is ready to evolve, an Evo Catalyst will be required.
|
|
- I have other questions. (Goes back to the beginning)
- That's it for now, thanks! (Ends conversation)

Hi there, I'm Biscotti, Head Chef of the Skylark! We've got a little situation on our hands that may or may not involve sentient, monstrous cakes that may or may not have completely overtaken my kitchen and infested the Clockworks...
Anyway, I've worked it out with the Strangers to provide rewards for turning in slices of cake that prove you've helped eradicate these horrible monsters that may or may not exist.
|
|
- This all sounds really strange, but I'm happy to help if I can.
|
|
Great! There are two ways to help me out:
You can accept the new Prestige Mission 'Total Caketastrophe' which is available daily.
Or you can journey into the Clockworks and weed out infestations of these 'Creep Cakes' as much as you like. Just look for the tell-tale frosting!
|
|
- Again, this is really weird Biscotti, but I'll do my best.
|
|
| Thanks PLAYERNAME, I appreciate it. And do me a favour, please don't mention this little 'incident' to Spiral HQ...
