==Trivia==
*Cake being Cole's favorite food was a running gag in "Double Trouble." It has since then become a core part of his character.
**Prior to the events of the eighth season, Cole gave it up, saying that his "body is a temple," and wanting to become more responsible in Master Wu's absence.
***This is expanded on in Way of the Departed, where Cole explains, "Eating cake is like muscle memory to me. It's just something I do to occupy my hands and mouth some times. I love cake but I think it would be healthy for me to cut back. In several ways."
**After his extended time away from real food while stranded in the Realm of Oni and Dragons, Cole took back his denouncement of cake and gained a newfound appreciation of it.
*According to Tommy Andreasen, if Cole was a YouTuber, his videos would be about "the joys of cake".https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/975110111591985157
*Tommy Andreasen jokingly stated that Cole's love interest is cake.https://youtu.be/m-UUc3u8I0Y?t=609
*Tommy Andreasen said that, because Cole is the Master of Earth, his favorite type of cake would likely be Sand Cake.https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/1394621894360502276 He later implied that Cole's favorite flavor of cake is Chocolate Ganache.https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/1476701949282115586
