Check out our tips & tricks for Cake Mania 2 and help Jill run her bakeries more efficiently!
GENERAL TIPS
(a) Cookies: You can make sure that you have cookies available so that they can eat while they’re waiting in line. Most of the time each cookie will add 2 hearts but in some rare instances it will only add one extra heart
(b) TV: You can tune the television to their favorite channel. You will know which channel makes them happier by observing which customers added extra hearts and also by the little dance they do as their favorite channel comes on.
(c) Menus: Handing them menus quickly will usually add one extra heart. There will be a description below of all the customer types and their habits.
UPGRADES
Ovens: You can purchase up to three different ovens to have in your bakeries. You need the faster ovens so that your cakes can be ready more quickly. It’s also a good idea to purchase multiple ovens early on so that you can bake multiple cakes at one time.
Shoes: Jill will gain much needed speed when you purchase these. Jill starts off really slow in the early stages so you will need to purchase the faster shoes quickly because you don’t want Jill taking all day to get to the next stations.
Frosters: You can purchase up to 3 of these in your bakery. It’s a good idea to have multiple frosters when you have multiple ovens so you can frost several cakes at one time. It’s also good to purchase the faster frosters along with faster ovens so the frosters can keep up with the speed of the ovens.
Cookie Ovens: This should be one of your first purchases. Unlike the TV (where you have to figure out everyone’s favorite channel), most patrons enjoy the cookies. The only customer whose hearts will not be raised by a cookie is the man in the yellow biohazard suit. The cookie ovens are great because once you’ve taken the last cookie, it will automatically bake some more.
Display Stand: The display stands are good if you make a mistake and you need a place to put a cake that was not needed at the time so that you will not lose money by throwing away the cake. They are also good for displaying extra fancy cakes that you decorate at the beginning of a level in hopes that the customers will purchase them. Decorating fancy cakes early on are especially effective when the crazy cat lady visits the bakery.
Toppers: Each topper that the customer orders for their cake will earn you extra money. Try not to purchase them too early since they are a lot of work. Do buy them if you need extra money because you are having difficulty reaching your goals and you need that added income to complete the level. Here is a list of all the toppers and how much you will earn every time a customer requests one: The amounts provided below vary from what the online help for this game says. I adjusted the amounts according to what I encountered.
Kitten $5
Soccer ball $10
Cake Mania Walkthrough 1
Lucky (horseshoe) $15
Teddy bear $20
Tiki $25
Pagoda $25
Palm tree $25
Heart $35
Television: You can purchase a television upgrade to keep your customers happy. In order to use the television upgrade effectively you have to know which channel makes which customer happy. In the instance where there are 'bubble twins' or paired customers you should switch the channel according to the customer that is closest to the counter and it will then add hearts to their bubble. The best way to find the right channel is to run your mouse over the colored buttons on the TV and you will see a preview of what each channel is. Once you find the right channel press the button to tune to your desired station.

Cake Mania Walkthrough Game
'on hard levels where there are too many people in line and you can't serve them all at once, and they're all red and glowing and mad, once you get past the first few people, don't pick up some of the money they leave behind. only four people can be in line at the shop(s) so leave only two places open by keeping the money there. this will prevent crowding, and is much easier. it is how i got past several of the very hard levels. once you give one of the people in line their cake, click on one pile of money and then it keeps the routine going. it is incredibly easy and will help so much.' --picatso917
February at the Casino
At that point you should have:
The fastest cake baker
the fastest icer
the fastest decorator (it gives you the option of
making it faster when you purchase all of the
decorationg options
an upgraded cupcake baker
a television
the fastest shoes.
The baker, Icer, and Decorator you should have only 2 of each.
With these you should be able to do Febuary at the Casino.
Cupid is a rough customer. Even if you have to do Cupid's order first and put on cartoons, then the vacationing businessman, then the regular businessman's order.
If not try, try again.
Stuck on a hard level?
have you purchased toppings? It's really the best way to increase the cake price. I made that mistake myself, if you've been saving the months, go back to a month where you have a lot of money and purchase toppings. You'll have to re-do those levels, to get back to the circus stage buts its worth it. As you build toppings it lets you increase the speed of the topping machine, this will decrease the overall cake making time. Hope this helps!
