Cake Mania 2 Hints: ------ Submitted by: David K Multi-task To Save Time: ------------------------ Anytime you can do a task while on the way to completing another, the better. Examples: When one cake is done baking, start baking the next customer's order before you take the one in your hand to get frosted. You can also Hand out menus to the new customers on your way to pick up cakes from the oven. Jill can only carry one cake at a time but she can hand out menus, collect money, tune the television, bake another cake and frost cakes all while holding a cake in her hand. Stacking Cakes: --------------- If you cant see the shapes of the cakes because of the way the cakes are stacked, look at the color on the side of the cake to determine what shape it is. Choose a tray with the color frostings that you need and build your cake on top of one tray so that you will not get confused about stacking the cakes. Putting A Cake Down: -------------------- If you pick up the wrong cake and you need to put it down, or you have only one frosting tray that has a cake already on it, you can right- click on a cake to swap it with one in your hand. Get out of the way, Jill!: -------------------------- If Jill is blocking your view of the shape buttons on the oven because shes in the way, just click where you think that button is anyway. If youre not sure, just click to move her somewhere else temporarily. Upgrades: --------- Get faster ovens, faster shoes and cookie ovens first. The TV and the cookies keep your customers happier for a longer period of time so you can do more. Display stands are good to hold some cakes that may have been made by mistake or to make some cakes in advance to display. Bubble Twins: ------------- Sometimes customers come in pairs treat them as a single customer with a double order. Hand them their orders as you normally would and you will also get double the tip. Losing Money: ------------- For every customer that leaves you will lose $50, for every cake that you throw out you will lose $20. Server Big Tippers First: ------------------------- Doctors are the biggest tippers and they don't have a lot of time; take care of their order quickly to get the maximum tip. Police Officers are low tippers so you will not get as much out of them. Saving time: ------------ Try doing a task while on the way to completing another one. Jill can only carry one cake at a time but she can hand out menus, collect money, tune the television, bake another cake and frost cakes all while holding a cake in her hand. For example try the following. * As a cake is done baking, start baking the next customer's order before the first cake is taken to be frosted. * Hand out menus to the new customers on the way to pick up cakes from the oven.
