I love Cake Mania in PC game, that is why I bought this for my NDS. Unfortunately, this isn't fun at all. Small screen and hard to control compare to PC game. Very disappointed!

You play as Jill, you are trying to raise enough money to help your grandparents buy back their bakery before the evil new mega mart on the block runs them out of business for good. Despite the fact that you are basically doing the same thing over and over, you are having so much fun you don't really care. Customers order cakes, you take their order, bake it, frost it, and give it a design if necessary, then collect your money and on to the next customer, its that simple. There really isn't much else to the game, yet as another reviewer says there is hardly room for error in this game. It starts off simple but eventually more customers file in at at a faster rate, the cakes get more complex, and meanwhile customers lose patience.

But to counter this you can use your money to buy more ovens, frosters, etc You can also upgrade the equipment you already have to run a more efficient kitchen. You can even buy products to settle down customers so they won't storm off and cost you money. For example, customers will have more patience if you give them free samples of cupcakes.

From a technical standpoint, the main problems I had was that some of the cake topper icons were small and too close together so if you picked the wrong one you were stuck with a cake no one wanted costing you money (unless someone came in and bought it later). Also, I had a problem with the Halloween two layer cakes at first because the Jack O' Lantern and Rectangular shapes looked so similar it was hard to tell what shape was at the bottom. I ended up making the wrong cake a few times, costing me money.

The game comes with the expansion pack CAKE MANIA: BAKE TO THE BAKERY. This is unlocked after you beat Cake Mania. The storyline is different but it is basically the same thing just harder. The customers order more complex cakes and come into the store faster etc. This is really a great game for the price, but if you don't like repetitive games and like diverse gameplay it is not for you. Like one person already said, the challenge is in the constant multi-tasking.

Something about this game is addictive. It's simple yet challenging and fun for all ages. My kids 25, 17, 13 and 11 all play it.
