Welcome to the Evans Bakery! With Jill very pregnant, Jack has taken over the running of the bakery. However, being the perfectionist that she is, Jill has decided to keep working at a new work station that she's had installed. While Jack runs the day-to-day operations, Jill can kick back and add extra decorations to her famous cakes!
Jill's signature item is her delicious cake. In Cake Mania: Lights, Camera, Action!, there are 8 different cakes customers can order.
Swapping Cakes: The player can swap cakes using the right mouse button. For instance, if Jack has a heart cake in his hand and wants to swap this with the square cake from the oven, right-clicking on the square cake allows him to do this without having to put the heart cake down first.
Price of Cakes: In the Cake Mania games, it’s important to note that cakes are ordered in layers.
The minimum number of layers that a customer will order is 2. They break down like this:

- Single, unfrosted cake ~ $5.00
- Single cake w/frosting ~ $10.00
- Single frosted cake w/topper OR single frosted cake + single unfrosted cake ~ $15.00
- Single frosted cake + single unfrosted cake OR double frosted cake ~ $20.00
- Double frosted cake w/topper OR double frosted cake + single unfrosted cake ~ $25.00
- Triple frosted cake ~ $30.00

The price for each layer is $5.00.
As delicious as Jill's world-famous cakes are, they aren't complete until the rich and creamy frosting is added!
The Bakery Shop Screen is where Jill and Jack can purchase bakery equipment and upgrades. This screen is available at the beginning of each level and displays the current bakery layout. To purchase a new piece of equipment, click or mouse-over a silhouette on the screen. These silhouettes denote a spot where a piece of equipment can go. Once clicked, an information box appears letting you know what upgrades are available. You can also click on existing equipment to purchase upgrades. After clicking on an item, you will see the description and price. If the price is green, you can afford it. If it's red, you can't afford it yet!
To move existing items around on the screen, simply click on the item and drag it and drop it in one of the available positions. As you purchase equipment, your total cash amount (shown in the bottom left corner) will be reduced accordingly.

To purchase an item, click on the 'Buy' button.

Press the 'Sell' button to sell equipment back at a portion of its original cost.

To close the item window, click on the 'Close' button.

Equipment and their upgrades provide Jack and Jill with new ovens, frosters, shoes, etc. All upgrades are obtained by purchasing them in the Bakery Shop Screen menu before the start of every level. Cash obtained from previous levels can be used to purchase these items.
The player begins a new game with one Level 1 Oven and one Level 1 Froster.
When Jack takes over the bakery, he occasionally breaks the equipment. When this happens, you'll have to repair the equipment before you’ll be able to upgrade. Players can sell broken equipment, but only at ¼ the price you paid for it. In some cases, it may be cheaper to simply repair the equipment.
Note: Prices for repairing equipment are listed in the equipment sections below.
Decorators can each hold up to 4 toppers, which can be purchased from the Bakery Shop Screen at the start of each level. The toppers add money value to the cakes being sold and, as each topper is purchased, the time it takes to top the cake decreases. The decorators are called Décor Mates and the player can purchase a maximum of 2. The player begins the game with no Decorators.

Upgrade from a cake stand to a refrigerated display case! Located under the counter, cakes placed on display are visible to customers at all times. The advantage of the fridge is that any items kept there are carried over from one day to the next.

2 | DisplayMate Elegante | 2 | 25% | $150

When things are going haywire in the shop, the more workspace the better! Double your display area to free your hands and tempt shoppers. Made of 60% recycled materials!

Extend that shelf life! A refrigerated display case shows off your wares during the day, and keeps them fresh overnight so you don't have to start from scratch the next morning.

Pre-bake and relax! Not only does the CoolMate Deluxe hold more goods, its built-in mood lighting and Aroma Disperser increase cake appeal. Warning: do not defrost with ice-pick.

Every cake in the Evans Bakery needs frosting before a customer will accept it. Luckily, there are Frostmates that take care of this task quickly and cleanly! You'll begin the game with one Level 1 Frostmate (Frostmate A) and can upgrade to a total of three Frostmates (B and C) throughout the game. The cost and upgrade details are below:
FrostMate A

Level | Name | Time | Cost | Color | Repair Cost
1 | Basic | 7 sec. | Free | Green | $200
2 | Better | 5 sec. | $600 | Purple | $300
3 | Best | 3 sec. | $900 | Blue | $500

FrostTech's 'Revolution' line of redesigned automatic frosters are cleaner and more ergonomic, with less moving parts to jam.

The Revolution Deluxe has the same basic design as the original Revolution, but with additional features such as a built-in cowbell.

For fast-paced kitchen environments, this machine's digital interface can be pre-programmed for faster frosting output on large batches.

Marketed towards the professional like you, the Revolution Pro can run in Simple or Nitpicky mode, allowing you to either automate or manually control every detail of the frosting process.

At first, Jill will run the bakery until you reach Level 5. After that, however, she will need her rest, and Jack will need to take over. Since she can’t stay away from the bakery entirely (it would drive her crazy), Jill has invented a new station.
Customers will order cakes as usual, but now they can choose to have a hand-crafted fruit topping added to the top of it.
Customers will still be able to order toppers, but they will not be able to order both toppers *and* decorations. The way this station works is as follows:

1. Prepare the cake according to customer’s order, the same as in all previous Cake Mania games.
2. If the order requires a fruit topping, click on the matching button located on Jill’s station. Each button represents a different fruit (defined in Upgrades section below).
3. Jack will bring the cake over to Jill and a small window will appear with an image of the cake as seen from the top-down. There will be a number of dots on the image which you will need to place the fruit topping.
4. Click on the spots in any order - no mistake can be made. When the task is finished the window will close and the finished cake is presented on the plate.
5. Click on the plate to pick up the cake, and then click on the customer. Jack will deliver this finished order to them.
6. The customer will pay and leave as normal.

This station can be upgraded 3 times:

Level | Name | Cost to Player | $ Amount Added to Order
1 | Cherry | $0 | $2.00
2 | Lemon | $450 | $3.00
3 | Strawberry | $850 | $4.00

With each upgrade, the player receives 1 more fruit option AND the number of clickable spots increases.

Jill's new Decoration Station allows her to add fruit toppings to cakes.

Create beauty with lemons while Jack does all the running around!

Express yourself... with strawberries!

In Cake Mania: Lights, Camera, Action!, there is a maximum of 2 ovens. The two oven slots hold OvenMate A and OvenMate B. Each oven has 4 cake buttons available, as well as a progress bar showing the cake that is baking. These ovens all have 4 levels of upgrades and each upgrade works faster than the previous one.

The industrial-strength model for higher-volume kitchens. Designed with the expanding business in mind.

Our exclusive catering oven employs nuclear fusion to achieve speedy results. Eye and groin protection recommended.

The top-drawer model of choice for venues such as convention centers and stadiums catering to huge crowds. The form of power this thing runs on doesn't even have a name yet, but if we had to pick one, we'd go with 'magic'.

Customers can place their order by phone! Technology never ceases to amaze.

Televisions are a handy way to distract and entertain customers while they’re waiting in line for their order. Customers will react to the TV differently and each will have his/her preferred TV station. Once a channel is selected, a particular Television show will play for a short period of time before it stops and resets. As each TV upgrade is purchased, the effect on the customers hearts will increase.
The TV stays on a shorter amount of time so that players can change channels more often. When the TV resets, the screen shows only static. If the television breaks, only two of the stations will work properly.
Players begin without a Television.

Level | Name | Time | Effect | Cost | Repair Cost
1 | Standard | 8 sec. | 1 heart | $250 | $100
2 | High Definition | 6 sec. | 2 hearts | $500 | $300
3 | High Definition Plasma | 3 sec. | 3 hearts | $1300 | $900

There are 4 TV stations available for viewing. The color refers to the color of the button the player clicks on to change the channel.

Channel | Button Color | Subject
1 | Red | Game Show
2 | Blue | Cooking Show
3 | Yellow | Fashion Show
4 | Green | Sports

A TV keeps customers happily distracted, preventing them from noticing how long their order is taking, or that you just dropped it on the floor.

An updated plasma screen keeps customers even more mesmerized, and comes with a handy pocket remote for quick channel surfing. Side effects include spontaneous post-hypnotic suggestion.

Patented Zombification technology induces a virtually endless trancelike state of bliss. Excessive viewing may lead to desire for BRAAAAIIIINNNSSS!!!

Purchasing a cookie oven is very handy, as the treats it provides can satiate the more impatient customers while they’re in line waiting for their order. The player does not begin with a cookie oven, but can purchase one and upgrade throughout the game. Each upgrade causes the cookie oven to cook faster than the last. The cost and upgrade details below:

Level | Name | Time | Cost | Color | Number of Treats | Repair Cost
1 | Basic | 8 sec. | $200 | Green | 3 | $100
2 | Better | 5 sec. | $500 | Purple | 4 | $300
3 | Best | 2 sec. | $900 | Blue | 5 | $500
4 | Ultimate | 1 sec. | $1400 | Gold | 6 | $900

This handy miniature cookie oven makes 3 cookies designed to mollify the masses.

Flexible silicone baking sheet insert utilizes more interior oven space, letting you make 4 cookies.

A second cookie oven rack expands the batch size to 5 cookies!

An incident with a Time-Bender rendered this new oven model bigger on the inside than the outside. It now somehow fits 6 cookies.

Each shop will have one special upgrade item that can be purchased before each level. This item is always sold very inexpensively and may only be used once for each level. This means that if the player wants to use it again, they’ll need to repurchase it each time.

This handy device creates a single order, instantly! Instructions: Click on the Cake Maker icon (in HUD), then click on customer’s balloon. The order will be automatically finished, the customer will pay, and will leave happily.
