2.0 out of 5 stars Multitasking a series of repetitive tasks but... where's the fun?, September 19, 2009

The purpose of the game is to make money buy baking and selling cakes. It's your mission in life because the 'big box' store were unfair competition and, by working hard, you will outcompete them.

The customers will order a specific shape and frosting and they will pay you once the product is delivered. You get a tip if you deliver the cake in a timely fashion or you may lose the customer if you make them wait for too long.

The cycle goes like this:

- hand over the menu
- the customer picks shape and frosting
- bake the requested shape
- apply the frosting
- hand it over to customer
- pick up the money

It gets pretty frantic once you have more than 2 customers waiting and you need to optimize and multitask. You are successful if you meet your dollar target by the end of the day. The pace gets increasingly frantic as the game progresses.

That's just about it.

I can't say that the game has a high replay value and, unless someone is absolutely determined to run through the same repetitive cycle at a frantic pace, the motivation to advance is not that great.

On the good side, the graphics are okay in a cartoon/comics-style way. I'm afraid there's not much else to say. I don't believe I will play this game again. In fact, since neither my 6 yr. girl or my tween boys expressed any interest in it, I will probably uninstall it. Which, by the way, it's okay because I can always get it back from my Amazon-maintained downloads library.

It is much like diner dash, except with less to do, and way more boring. It gets old within 10 minutes, and I don't foresee me ever playing it again. She makes the cakes for people, you go through several processes and gives them to people, it is like a "rush" except sometimes you are clicking here and there and the b*tch doesn't even do what you tell her to do! Go ahead and get it if it is free, but I would not pay 50 cents for this game.

Create the correct size cakes, then frost them with the correct color and deliver them to the customer before they get mad and leave. I've played it quite a bit, it's just okay for me. I wish there were ways that you could purchase things to help you in the game, like an automatic helper for when the customers get mad. If you make one wrong cake it throws off the whole game. It's similar to "Crazy Cakes" on Pogo which I love, this one is still fun to play when my internet isn't accessable.
