Cake Mania All Games

[Janie Mccorey]

Haveyou ever dreamed of running your own bakery and making delicious cakes? In the Cake Mania game, you get to step into the shoes of Jill, a talented young baker with a heart full of dreams. After finishing her training at culinary school, she comes home to find her beloved grandparents' bakery closed. A big, new Mega-Mart store made business tough for her grandparents. But Jill is ready to roll up her sleeves and make things right.

Your job is to help Jill open her own bakery, serve tasty cakes to her customers, and gather enough money to reopen her grandparents' bakery. With many levels to complete and new places to set up shop, it's up to you to make sure every customer leaves with a smile and a delicious cake!

Imagine you're inside a bustling bakery. When a customer enters, the first thing you should do is hand them a menu. They'll then choose a cake shape and a frosting flavor. Next, it's time to bake the cake, add the right frosting, sprinkle on some decorations, and serve it up! And don't forget, they'll leave money on the counter once they get their cake. Make sure to collect it!

Every cake is unique! Customers might want a triangle, square, star, or even a round-shaped cake. And they'll want to top it with their favorite frosting - magenta, white, red, or brown. It's important to remember their choices and make the cake just the way they like it.

Did you make a mistake? That's okay! Every baker has those moments. If you end up with the wrong shape or color, you can throw it in the trash bin and start again. But try to be quick because time is ticking!

While baking, you'll notice that every customer has heart symbols above their heads. This shows how happy or patient they are. If you make them wait too long, they might get upset and leave. But if they're happy, they'll pay more for their cakes. And the more money you earn, the closer you are to reaching your goal for that round.

After each round, you can make your bakery even better! You can use the money you've earned to buy cool stuff. Maybe an extra oven or another icing station? Or perhaps some speedy shoes for Jill to move faster. And to keep the customers entertained while they wait, consider adding things like a TV.

One of the best parts is meeting different customers throughout the year. Like in February, the lovey-dovey Cupid might visit, and in December, the jolly Santa Claus drops by. They bring along special vibes that can change the mood of your bakery. At the same time, you should pay close attention to them - they might need their orders really fast.

Dive into this delightful world of cakes and challenges! Discover how fun and rewarding it can be to serve sweet treats and spread joy to everyone who walks through the door. Ready to whip up some magic? Put on that apron and let the baking adventure begin!

I beat the first Cake Mania. Now on Back to the Bakery I'm stuck at September year 2. I've gone back and tried to make different purchases and I still can't get past it. I come within $17 of the goal but never make it.

Help!

"Hello, my name is Kristy and I am a cake addict"

Wii.......... I thought I was the only cake dork. LOL I spotted that game across a crowded after the holiday afternoon at the mall. Hah !

Then a used sytem cake in, I mean came in, we purchased it.

sorry to say...

My daughter is much better at the game, but I am much better in the kitchen with the real thing ! LOL

If I ever get the chance to really play and I come across that road I will hopefully have an answer for you. For now...

I am off to do the real thing, almost, a dummy cake.

Let's see if I can explain this right:

I've found that both cake mania are only as hard as the supplies that you buy... meaning you will never get a cake order that requires something you haven't bought...

so to get past a stage.. don't buy anything (just upgrade speeds of oven and froster) I quit buying the TV - spend too much time fixing the channels and have learned that cookies are better are keeping the customers happy... so every once in awhile I run down the line and give everyone a cookie....

I guess I should mention that I play the DS version.. I unfortunately beat both 1 and 2 the first weekend I received them...

hope that helps a bit!

Thanks all, I guess I'll just have to keep trying. Sorry if this wasn't the proper place to post. I've never posted in the lounge before.

I played it online and beat all the available levels. So I bought it for my PC. After I beat all the levels on the first one, I purchased the second one (also for PC). Then I locked myself out of my laptop for 8 months. Now I'm back in and totally hooked on my 'new' cake game.

I've also seen it used at Game Stop, for XBOX I think.

You start out with one slow oven and one icing station. As you beat each level, you earn money and you purchase/upgrade your ovens and your icing stations, plus buy decorations and winged shoes to make you go faster. You can also buy a TV and microwave for goodies, to keep your customers happy while waiting for cakes.

As I said, my name is Kristy and I am a cake addict!

Jill Evans, who was inspired by her baker grandparents, developed a love for pastry cooking and went to a culinary school. When Jill comes back from culinary school, she finds her grandparents' bakery, Evans' Bakery, closed. Jill decides to open her own bakery and work her way up the business ladder so she can buy back her grandparents' bakery. She also learns how to deal with some very tricky customers along the way. In Cake Mania: Back to the Bakery, Jill tries to win her grandparents a Hawaiian cruise vacation while renovating the bakery.[15]

The player controls Jill, a baker. Customers come in and line up, giving Jill their orders. The player must then direct Jill to create the cake each customer wants, before the customer becomes tired of waiting and leaves, whereupon Jill loses a life. If Jill runs out of lives, the player loses the level and must try again from the most recent checkpoint.[16] Cakes in Cake Mania are created using the oven and the frosting machine; the cake has to be a specific shape and have a certain color of icing for each order.[16] If the wrong cake is made the player can throw it away. In later levels, cakes are more complex to make, such as orders requiring several layers of cake and extra cake decorations.[16] Different customers have different gameplay quirks (such as preferring a certain feature on their cakes) and differing levels of patience, and Jill can use purchasable items such as cupcakes and a television to help keep her customers patient while they wait.[8] Each level takes place in a different month, and holiday-themed customers appear such as Cupid and Santa Claus in February and December, respectively.[8][17] Virtual money earned in the game can be used to buy additional baking equipment such as a second oven, better frosting machine, cupcake microwave, or faster shoes to make Jill move faster.[8]

Both the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable versions of Cake Mania: Bakers Challenge and the Nintendo DS version of Cake Mania include features from Cake Mania: Back to the Bakery,[10][11] which was released as an expansion on PC and Java ME-supported phones.[18] The original PC game has 48 stages, and 84 with the expansion.
