What with everything on your mind, it's easy to add the pink icing to the wrong base, and end up wasting precious seconds of baking time and losing cash because you have to chuck away a bunch of unwanted ingredients. With all four customers wanting their cakes as soon as possible, you'll find yourself simultaneously icing one, baking another's base, while attaching some kind of accessory to a third. But things start to get trickier in this game sooner than in most handheld titles. It's all incredibly simple, and you'll power through the first of Cake Mania's levels before you've even got your brain into gear. With that knowledge to hand, you have to rush around the kitchen, using the various tools and gadgets to make the cakes and gain the cash before the heart meter above each customer drop to zero.

The way to do this is make sure your customers are served with their exact specification of cake as speedily as possible.īy tapping each customer on screen with your stylus – there's a maximum of four shoppers at any one time – they'll get a menu, from which they'll make their choice.

Only Jill can save the day by making a success of her own cake shop.

Originally launched as an online PC game but now ported to the DS in a budget-priced package, Cake Mania's mixture of cutting-edge capitalism and colourful patisserie skills has previously kept many an office worker away from doing any actual office work. With Cooking Mama handling things on the DS when it comes to starters and savouries, it's up to Cake Mania to deal with our taste for the sweeter things of life.
