The Banana Eats Cosmic Pastry badge is a permanent secret achievement in RyCitrus's survival horror game Banana Eats on Roblox. To earn the badge, you must find a small pink pastry cake hidden on the floor during a match, pick it up, and survive until you escape. Doing so permanently unlocks both the Nyan Cat Box skin and the Nyan Pastry beacon for your account.

How to Find the Secret Nyan Pastry
The item required for the badge looks like a small pink frosted pastry cake, which some players describe as resembling a sponge. Finding it depends primarily on map exploration and round RNG:
- Map Availability: The pastry can spawn on virtually any map in rotation, including Banana Fairgrounds and standard facilities.
- Spawn Mechanics: Only a single pastry spawns per round. Because any survivor can pick it up, you must check hallways, room corners, and floor spaces early in the round before another player claims it.
- Collecting the Item: Approach the pastry on the ground and click or tap it directly, using the same interaction prompt as regular puzzle cakes. Once collected, it enters your inventory immediately.
Surviving with the Rainbow Trail
Picking up the pastry introduces a unique hazard referenced by the official badge description: "Mind your cosmic-crumb trail." Whenever you run with the pastry equipped, your character emits an active rainbow particle trail.
- The Trail Hazard: The rainbow trail can reveal your exact movement path around corners, making it significantly easier for the Banana to track and corner you.
- Game Mode Selection: Community gameplay guides recommend voting for standard Escape mode over Hardcore, Split, or Infection modes. Avoiding high-hazard modes drastically increases your odds of staying alive while carrying the item.
- Minimizing Movement: Because running broadcasts your location, navigate toward an exit early while puzzles are being completed. Players frequently recommend hiding in a locker adjacent to an exit zone, stepping out only when the exits unlock.
- Win Conditions: You do not have to solve puzzles yourself, but you must either leave through an open exit door or survive until the round timer expires. If the Banana eats you before the round concludes, the pastry is lost for that match.
Cosmic Pastry Badge Rewards
Successfully making it out of the facility with the item in your possession awards the Cosmic Pastry badge and automatically updates your locker inventory:
- Nyan Cat Box Skin: A survivor skin featuring the box-bodied meme cat.
- Nyan Pastry Beacon: A themed beacon to equip during survivor rounds.
Content creator playthroughs confirm that neither unlock carries a "First Edition" or limited tag. The secret pastry hunt is a permanent crossover feature, meaning players can unlock the badge and its cosmetics at any time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Banana unlock the badge by eating the player holding the pastry?
No. During video testing, a Banana player who eliminated a carrier did not receive the quest credit or the badge. The item must be held by a survivor who successfully escapes or survives the timer.
Does the pastry spawn in every round?
The item has a chance to spawn, and finding one comes down to luck. Multiple rounds of checking corners and floor spawns may be necessary before one appears.
Do you keep the rewards if you die after picking up the pastry?
No. If the Banana catches and eats you while holding the pastry, you fail the challenge and must locate the pastry again in a future round.
