I've played Cake Mania online a few times, and enjoyed it. I mean, who wouldn't like a game that allows you to build your own bakery and tend to customers? So, I bought the Ds version. Which ended up being everything i hoped for, my own bakery in my own hands. The game starts off at a learners rate, but when you advance in the game, it gets extremely hard and quick paced. Many times I ended up becoming angry when I didn't make baker's goal. The game is awfully aggravating, but worth it. I got it at a reasonable price, not very expensive. First glance at the case, It seems to be a girlie child's game. Don't be fooled, the game is far from it.

The plot is a young girl, Jill, returns from culinary school to find that her grandparent's bakery has gone out of business. She embarks on a long journey to get the deed to her grandparents bakery back. Jill makes her own plans, and starts up a business. Through out the game you serve to some normal, and special occasion customers, like Business men, Food critiques, Easter bunnies, Santa, and many more. she serves a variety of cake shapes (rectangles, circles, stars, and triangles, pumpkins, hearts, and eggs on special occasions) with a variety of frosting (red, white, brown, and purple). The more money Jill makes, the more bakery equipment you can get, like more ovens, frosting machines, cupcake microwave, display case, and even decoration and toppers for the cakes! Things such as decorations and toppers will make the cakes cost more, the high the price, the better the income. Also, the cupcake microwave gives out 4 cupcakes (how fast they regenerate depends on how far you have upgraded it) which will make customers less angered. They display case holds an extra cake, which has a 20% chance that a customer will want that cake. I've used the display case for when I've accidentally clicked the wrong cake shape, frosting, or decoration, so that I don't have to waste money throwing it away. In the game, Jill sells cakes at some unusual place, such as a beach side, circus, and a casino.

The game is quite fun, yet it lacks an interesting plot. I mean the plots simple, and boring. But the game overall is challenging, and gets intense. I would recommend it to anyone who really wants to test themselves.
