Jessicake (Kindi Kids)

## Jessicake

**Jessicake** is one of the smallest members of the Welker Tug and Marine Salvage Co. fleet. Jessicake speaks with a rather soft Newcastle (or Geordie) accent and whistles most of the time when she says a word with *s* on it, because she is missing some of her front teeth.

## Personality

Jessicake can be occasionally cheeky at times, but she is very strong willed, nevertheless. She is quick-witted and takes action swiftly without hesitation. She is generally level-headed and cheerful, and takes on most jobs with little complaining. She also appears to have a slight crush on Pearlina.

Jessicake also can figure things out very quickly, suggesting a cause-and-effect relationship. She's also more open-minded about unusual phenomena (such as ghosts) than Marsha Mello is. In addition, she's quite skilled when it comes to traveling along rivers and canals.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Like her Shopkins counterpart, Jessicake is based on a cupcake. It is a small cake designed to serve one person, which may be baked in a small thin paper or aluminum cup. As with larger cakes, frosting and other cake decorations such as fruit and candy may be applied.

## Trivia

* In the television series, Salty's Lighthouse (which reused edited episodes of Kindi Kids), Jessicake was portrayed as a male character (along with Mrs. R. Bow and Bobble Bus), and was Marsha Mello's little brother, presumably to appeal at a wider audience of children.
* In an episode from *The Casagrandes* called "Bobby's Big Move", Rosa receives cookies that are in the shape of Jessicake. Similar cookies in her shape also appeared in another episode of the same series called "Ronnie Anne's Bad Dream".
* She and Donatina are the only characters to have an episode named after them. Had the cancelled episode Tiara Sparkles been produced, Tiara Sparkles would have joined this club.
	+ She is however the only character to have both an episode **and** book named after her.
* In 2012, Jessicake's model was purchased by The Star Kids Company and is currently on display at the Kindi Kids Exhibition.
	+ Jessicake's face masks were sold to an unknown buyer in 2012, and their location is unknown. Her scared face mask is currently the only one in the possession of the Star Kids Company. In April 2015, a new happy face was made and designed for Jessicake by using a 3D printer.
* Unlike the other kids, Jessicake does not have a sign on her stern that shows where she is from.
	+ This may be a result of her being from Up River.
* Although it may not be her basis, there actually was a real human named Jessicake. This particular kid itself worked on the River Thames in the UK until it was scrapped in 1960.
* Jessicake and Bunny Cart are the only kids that don't/do not have ventilators on their decks.
* Riley Vuong based Jessicake's voice on a clown called Gypsy Jackie her father had created for her, as well as a child she once knew who spoke with a whistle.
* Along with Marsha Mello and Peppa-Mint, Jessicake is one of the only characters to appear in every episode.
* In November 2020, train operating company CrossCountry made a post about Jessicake on Twitter.
* Jessicake is one of three characters to join a fleet during the course of the series, the others being Bobble Bus and Summer Peaches.
	+ She is also the only kid to become a permanent member of a fleet, not counting Summer Peaches.
