- Name meaning
- 'Whole Cake Island' — a direct dessert name (a whole, uncut cake) for Big Mom's home territory, extending the Charlotte family's food/sweets naming theme to the geography itself. Like the rest of the Big Mom Pirates' domain it draws on a fairy-tale / fantasy-fiction motif — most directly Walt Disney's Silly Symphony 'The Cookie Carnival' (1935), a city built of sweets inhabited by candy people.

Profile
The home base of Big Mom (Charlotte Linlin), “on a stretch of sea in the New World” (p. 10). Shown for the first time @0651 as a candy/cake-themed island where Big Mom rules; she holds court here and devours her own subjects during cravings. Tamago references an upcoming tea party here “in four days” (p. 8).
