Cake Mania is brilliant, fun and very addictive. I've had this game for approx 6 months and still play it regularly trying to better more scores.
The game is great fun for all ages from teenager upwards.
Will certainly be looking to buy Cake Mania 2
 Good but repetative April 29, 2008

This game is good, as I would expect from having played the PC version. It does get challenging, but once you've learned how to make the cakes and got a good rythem going, it gets very repetative, although the challenge helps to make up for that.
Being able to 'go back to the bakery' is great, starting again and meeting new characters is good, although from what I've seen, pretty much the same as the original game.
It's okay February 2, 2008

Review by daughter:
I got this at least an week ago and I and I was a bit disappointed because you don't really do any thing except from making money to make their bakery popular again it's just a bit annoying and if you don't make enough money for the month at least three times you

I found this game to be great fun, and quite addictive. You basically run a bakery. You have to greet customers, bake cakes, ice and decorate them, then collect the money from the customers. You have a target (amount of money) to reach on each level - once you have made the required amount of money you move on to the next level. The 'money' you make can be spent on new equipment - like extra or faster ovens, cake decorations, cupcake machines etc. You need to upgrade the equipment, as after a few levels you will need to bake and decorate several cakes at once. You get different customers on some of the levels, which makes it more interesting. Some customers get grumpy waiting, so you have to 'buy' a TV to keep them entertained.
There are 60 levels in Cake Mania. You get to work in 5 bakeries (12 months in each). Once you have completed Cake Mania, you unlock the 'Back to Bakery game'. Back to Bakery is much the same as Cake Mania - just extra levels really, although I found the first few quite tricky. The whole game is played with the stylus, and it works well. I liked the graphics - colourful and bright. Sometimes you have to look carefully at the cake picture the customer wants, as a couple of the shapes look similar.
This game is suitable for all ages. I completed the game in a week. My daughter (age 6) is on level 6. She has got the hang of it, but probably would be better for slightly older children and adults.
Overall, a very good, fun game. Very easy to learn (there is even a tutorial you can do before you start the game, and another - part way through, to show you how to bake 2 layer cakes). I only hope they bring out a sequel, although I have heard that 'Diner Dash' is a bit similar, so I might try that.
 Arghhh!! So Frustrating!! October 21, 2007

This is such a frustrating game. The waitress moves so slowly. You have to tap various things in the stages of making the cakes and if make a mistake and tap the wrong thing, you have to wait until it finishes before you can make the correct choice. This loses you time and customers disappear very quickly, often as you are about to give them their finished cake!!!
As the game progresses, you have to bake two cakes on top of each other. It's extremely difficult to see what shape the cakes are and what colour the icing is. In fact, for most of them I found it impossible.
If you are looking for a waitressing type game serving customers, then Diner Dash is a much better game. Very addictive and lots of fun.
Cake Mania however, is a maddening game. I found myself swearing at it (and I don't normally swear) and getting stressed. Games should be fun and not drive you mad like this one.
