How to Make the Dawning Neomun-Cake in Destiny 2

by Matthew Jan 21,2025

In Destiny 2's annual Dawning event, players bake treats for NPCs using collected ingredients. While recipes often remain consistent, new ones occasionally appear. This guide explains how to craft the Neomun-Cake.

Neomun-Cake Recipe:

To bake a Neomun-Cake, you'll need:

  • Vex Milk (from defeating Vex enemies)
  • Dark Frosting (from defeating enemies using Stasis or Strand abilities/weapons)
  • 15 Dawning Essence (earned through various in-game activities)

Dawning Essence is readily acquired through standard gameplay, weekly, and daily activities.

For efficient ingredient farming, equip a Stasis or Strand weapon (abilities work too). Nessus is recommended due to its high Vex enemy concentration. You can gather Vex Milk by exploring Nessus or completing Lost Sectors. Strikes also yield Vex kills, but Nessus exploration is often faster.

Crafting the Neomun-Cake:

Once you've gathered all ingredients, open your inventory and select Eva Levante's Holiday Oven 2.4. Select the Neomun-Cake recipe to begin crafting.

The Dawning often involves delivering various baked goods to NPCs. The Neomun-Cake is a requirement for some quests, such as the Cookie Delivery Helper, which also includes older recipes like the Lavender Ribbon Cookies.

This concludes the Neomun-Cake crafting guide for Destiny 2's Dawning event. Check The Escapist for more Destiny 2 tips and information.
