"Where are the Cook’em Cakes?"

―Haki Zeophrine, after returning to her and Chemish Runazha's safe house on Coruscant — 20?cb=20250116042720

Cook'em Cakes were a type of small instant cake that were stored in packets and edible by Heptooinians and humans. The cakes would instantly form after the packet was opened, with its jelly giving off an artificial berry scent. Early into the reign of the Galactic Empire, the Imperial Intelligence spy Haki Zeophrine kept Cook'em Cakes in the safe house she and her apprentice, Chemish Runazha, shared on the planet Coruscant.^[1]

In 19 BBY,^[2] Zeophrine returned to the safe house to meet with Runazha and fumbled through its cabinets until she found a packet of Cook'em Cakes. When she opened it, she noticed it sweat jelly and give off an aroma as it took form. Another time not long afterward, when Zeophrine returned from a mission with Senator Bail Organa, she and Runahaza conversed and ate several Cook'em Cakes together while the latter informed their mentor of Coruscant's happenings while she had been away.^[1]
