I found the mini-game fine overall (and certainly more engaging than a lot of previous events with nothing to do but gpose somewhere), but I still find it telling that when met with a new piece of group content, my first instinct was to try it alone to make sure I wouldn't screw it up and have people mad at me. Having to "parse" for a mini-game sounds about right for FF14 though, lol.
I tried it once alone just to see. I could only get one cake too. You get 30 per cake, but it does count partial cakes too. It seems 1 or 2 for each item on the cake.

Thing is alone it's the same 10 minutes accomplishing much less progress, so it's pretty boring. With a group it's much more fast paced, and the mammets get more aggressive as you go. The worst run I had with a 4 player group was 3 cakes and that's enough for everything. Most of the time we got all 5 done.

In my experience people are pretty chill about holiday stuff.
