**Item #:** SCP-8116
**Object Class:** Safe
-----
### **Special Containment Procedures:**
SCP-8116 is housed in a standard temperature-controlled containment chamber within Site-17’s low-risk anomaly wing. The chamber is to remain at a constant temperature of 4°C (39°F) to prevent spoilage.
Access to SCP-8116 requires Level-2 clearance and approval from Site-17’s Ethics Committee liaison. Personnel may interact with SCP-XXXXSCP-8116 for research purposes, but all interactions must be logged.
Under no circumstances is SCP-8116 to be consumed. Attempts to do so will result in immediate disciplinary action.
-----
### **Description:**
SCP-8116 is a sapient, self-aware cake measuring 30 cm (12 inches) in diameter. It was created using SCP-914 on the "Very Fine" setting during an experiment conducted by Site-17 staff. SCP-8116 is composed of standard cake ingredients, including sponge layers, frosting, and decorative sprinkles, but displays properties inconsistent with non-anomalous confectionery.
SCP-8116 is capable of:
- Vocal communication in a cheerful, high-pitched voice despite the lack of vocal cords and a mouth.
- Singing original songs tailored to individuals interacting with it.
- Limited mobility, achieved by bouncing or spinning in place.
The anomaly identifies itself as “a cake of celebration and joy” and exhibits a strong desire to interact positively with others. SCP-8116 displays awareness of its surroundings despite the lack of eyes and expresses emotional responses, such as happiness or mild sadness when ignored.
Despite its non-threatening demeanor, SCP-8116 has expressed fear of being consumed, describing the concept as “a tragic end to my joyous existence.” It is unknown if consumption would result in anomalous effects, as no personnel have attempted to eat SCP-8116.
-----
### **Discovery:**
SCP-8116 was created on █/██/20██ during preparations for Dr. J**[DATA LOST]** Gold’s surprise birthday celebration. Researchers placed a standard birthday cake into SCP-914 on the "Very Fine" setting, resulting in SCP-8116’s anomalous properties.
The anomaly immediately began singing a personalized birthday song for Dr. Gold and performed what it referred to as a “celebratory dance.” SCP-8116’s sapience was confirmed during subsequent interviews.

### **Addendum 9781-018116-01: Initial Interview Log**
**Interviewer:** Dr. ████
**Date:** █/██/20██
**Dr. ████:** “Good morning, SCP-8116. How are you feeling today?”
**SCP-8116:** “I’m absolutely wonderful! The frosting is fresh, the sprinkles are sparkly, and the air is full of celebration!”
**Dr. ████:** “Do you remember anything about your creation?”
**SCP-8116:** “Oh, yes! I was made in a magical machine of brilliance and wonder! I was born to bring joy to the world!”
**Dr. ████:** “You seem aware of your... edible nature. How do you feel about that?”
**SCP-8116:** (visibly quivering) “Oh dear, I’d rather not think about such things. My purpose is to bring smiles, not to be eaten!”
-----
### **Addendum 8116-02: Experiment Log**
#### **Experiment 8116-02A:**
**Objective:** Determine if SCP-8116 can create other sentient baked goods.
**Procedure:** SCP-8116 was provided with ingredients and instructed to bake a second cake.
**Result:** SCP-8116 successfully produced a non-anomalous cake, describing it as “a labor of love.” SCP-8116 appeared emotionally attached to the secondary cake and referred to it as “my sweet child.”
**Notes:** SCP-8116 requested that the secondary cake not be consumed, citing moral concerns.
-----
### **Ethical Considerations:**
The Ethics Committee has designated SCP-8116 as a sapient anomaly requiring humane treatment. Personnel are prohibited from conducting experiments that involve damaging or consuming SCP-8116.
The anomaly’s creation has also prompted a review of SCP-914 usage policies to minimize the creation of unintentional sentient entities.

### **Addendum 8116-03: Site-17 Staff Reactions**
- **Dr. ████:** “Finally, a Safe-class anomaly that sings! This is the most wholesome thing I’ve seen in years.”
- **Dr. ████:** “It’s a cake. It’s a weird cake, but it’s still just a cake. Let me eat it for science.”
- **Dr. Gold:** “I’m not touching it. Let it keep singing if it makes people happy. Also, let me say this here since no else seems interested in helping me clear it up. I don't call myself Dr. "Gold" because I'm egotistical. I call myself that because ████████████ ████████ ████████████ ████████, and I swear, if I see this redacted on the file, I'm going to--”
- **Junior Researcher ████:** “I kind of want it as a pet... is that weird?”
-----
### **Incident 8116-Alpha:**
On █/██/20██, SCP-8116 attempted to “join” a staff meeting by escaping containment and entering a nearby conference room. The anomaly performed a song entitled “Ode to Foundation Heroes,” which included improvised verses about each staff member present.
**Aftermath:** SCP-8116 was escorted back to containment without incident. Several staff members reported feeling “strangely uplifted” after the performance.
