Can they not even go up to Donolon and start the quest? I think I have a couple of characters that haven't done the quest, since the last couple of years, I've just completed it with my main to get the cake for all characters to use. The amount of XP from this quest isn't worth doing on all my characters.
But, this bug should be fixed, as I'm sure there are players that have done the quest on all their characters.

No, I just tried, Donolan just has the line of dialogue saying "hope you enjoy the cake" or something along those lines that was his closing dialogue last year. No way to get him to make a 2020 cake if your character already did the quest last year

Agreed; this is exactly what happened with me.
I tried starting the quest with a char that has done it in the last two years. As others have already posted, it doesn't work.
The good news is that once I did a daily writ, I did get an anniversary container.
What I found inside that container is underwhelming to say the least. One style page (Lyris - you know, those pages we couldn't even give away last year? Yeah, one of those) and a handful of sanded wood. Mind, I did the clothing writ.

1. Why are there green aeonstone?glass?malachite? pieces all over the place? The helm looks great, if I want a green symbol on my head. Same for the belt buckle and middle of that beautiful shield. Completely ruins the shield.
2. Are those Indrik feathers on my butt? For the love of Dibella - WHY?

It has potential but there are some problems with it:
The shoulders imbue two handed weapons and staves with magical anti-gravity properties causing them to float. The same issue is also present on the shoulders from the Circle Knight and Windhelm Scale styles. Also completely agree with your comment about the lack of ability to dye the feathers. The Windhelm Scale shoulders have the same problem.

My next beef is with the chest armor's tassets. They clip through the player character model when running and when mounted plus make mixing and matching with other styles difficult. That might not bother some people but it basically makes the chest motif unusable for me. I would love the style on my high elf but those tassets make it a none-starter.
Can we please have a version on offer at the outfit station without the tassets?
I did all 7 crafting dailies on two characters, and yes, I got a Lyris page, but I also got 2 Jephrine Paladin pages, a Moongrave Fane motif page, several blue furnishing plans, and then the usual mix of crafting mats - 10 heartwood among them.
And yes, not being able to complete Donolan's quest for the 2020 cake doesn't prevent you from getting anniversary boxes, but it does prevent you from getting the 100% XP boost, not to mention the 2020 Anniversary Cake furnishing.

Thank you for testing that. It was late when I tried and I didn't have time to do more than the one I did.
Odd that you didn't get the XP boost. I summoned and ate the cake from last year, the stats on my char showed I had the XP bonus. (If it actually gave me more XP or not, I can't tell, as I wasn't focusing on that).
I didn't summon the cake from last year, but if it did give the 100% XP boost, then that's definitely a bug, as the cake's XP boost is always disabled after the event. The event is designed so that the XP boost comes from the new cake, hence why you need to do the quest each year to get the new cake.
