The Frostcake is a species of shellcake appearing in Pikmin Evolution. It has the standard body structure of most shellcakes, having a puck shape and black eyestalks. However, it is unique from its kin in two ways: it's the only shellcake to disguise itself, taking the form of one of the "coin" pieces of refuse in the Flavorful Flatops family, and the only shellcake to vary in size, because of its behaviors. Its disguise can easily be thwarted by looking for its beady eyes tucked between the cookie parts of the supposed confectionary. In this state, the Frostcake can cause the Treasure Gauge to pick up false signals, much like it does with the false gold of the Gildemander and Gildemandwee. When Pikmin attempt to carry it, its eyes unfurl while the creature secretes its signature cream covering over its soft clay body. Smaller Frostcakes have smaller health pools but faster speed while the larger Frostcakes are the opposite, though all sizes share the same weight, seed value, and sparklium worth.
