n1 = input('Qual é o seu bolo favorito?')

if n1 = 'Bolo de Chocolate':
   print('teste123')

If you write "Chocolate Cake" all in lowercase or all in uppercase, it will end up happening not to enter the if that I created, does anyone know if you have a function that ignores if it is uppercase or lowercase? / p>

You can use lower() to turn everything into a lowercase. Whenever you have a question about whether you have a function to do something, you can look in the official documentation for the type of data you are working on. It would look like this:

n1 = input('Qual é o seu bolo favorito?')
if n1.lower() == 'bolo de chocolate':
    print('teste123')

See running on ideone . And no Coding Ground . Also I put GitHub for future reference .

I could use upper() too. Of course it does not solve all the other problems of the person typing different, which is much more likely to give some problem.

You have to compare both versions in lowercase (or upper case). The .lower() function of a string transforms all characters into their lower case versions:

n1 = input('Qual é o seu bolo favorito?')

if n1.lower() == 'bolo de chocolate':
   print('teste123')
