Below are the gameplay basics you'll need to know for Cake Mania: Lights, Camera, Action!

Tick-tock ...tick-tock. Keep an eye on the clock. Make sure you earn enough money to meet your goal or you'll be replaying the level.

At the end of each level, when time runs out, the closed sign will appear over the clock. You must finish serving all customers in line to complete the level.

After all, when it comes right down to it, money is what makes the world go 'round. Jill is living in a material world, and she is a material bakery worker. Tips: The more hearts a customer has when you fill the order, the bigger the tip!

When a customer enters the bakery, they will appear at the counter with a single bubble above their head. Customers will not place an order until they have been given a menu. Once given a menu, customers will deliberate for a short time before submitting their order. When they've decided, their order will appear in their speech bubble.

This is an automatic power-up that happens in the Bakery any time the player makes a combination of specific moves: 1. If the player serves 3 cakes in a row 2. If the player gives 3 menus in a row 3. If the player picks up 3 money piles in a row
4. If the player frosts 3 cakes in a row
5. If the player decorates 3 cakes in a row
By making 3 moves consecutively, the Sugar Rush meter will increase. Once the meter is full, the Sugar Rush will occur.

When a customer enters the fashion shop, they will appear at the counter with a single bubble above their head. Customers will not place an order until they have been given a catalogue. Once given a catalogue, customers will deliberate for a short time before submitting their order. When they've decided, their order will appear in their speech bubble.

There are three ways an item can be listed in the customer’s balloon:

Images of the items (standard).

Name of items, such as “Leather Vest" and "Purple Fedora".

Color of items, such as 3 X Blue. This example would mean the customer is looking for three blue items.

After customers receive their orders in the fashion shop, some may choose to have them wrapped. Look for this icon.

You can collect up to 3 items on the cursor at one time in the fashion shop. This means, if a customer has 3 items in their balloon, the user can collect all three of these items and deliver them at once. It also means they can deliver 3 items to three different customers if they want to.
There is no penalty for having unrequested items on the cursor. As always, these can be put back or put into the bin to be returned to the rack. You can also right-click to drop all of the items from your cursor.
If single customer orders 3 items:

- If user collects one or two of these items on cursor and delivers them to single customer, this customer gains 1 additional heart.
- If user collects all three of these items on cursor and delivers them to a single customer, this customer gains full hearts and leaves happy, thus leaving a full tip.

Deliver 3 items to a single customer and you'll receive the Clearance Bonus. Not only does this mean you are a skilled fashion shop worker, but you'll also earn an extra bonus from the customer!

Deliver 4 or more items in quick succession and you'll receive the Speed Bonus. Not only does this mean you have the reflexes of a cat, but you'll also earn an extra bonus from the customer!

When a customer enters pizza shop, they will appear at the counter with a single bubble above their head. Customers will not place an order until they have been given a menu. Once given a menu, customers will deliberate for a short time before submitting their order. When they've decided, their order will appear in their speech bubble.
