Help with Cakemania 3, please

I really like the Cakemania games. 3 is very nice too.
BUT: it's getting too hard too quickly. Only the first level I can get Experts on all. And after owning the game for at least 2 weeks now, no way I can get futher than level 3.5.
Unfortunately one can not replay levels to make more money and pass the level in thatway.
ANY suggestions, please.??

I have the same problem and I'm stuck on the same level!
Really really annoying!

Stuck on the same level ...
Doesn't matter which places are the two before...
I tried every strategie out
Doesn't help ...
Tried upgrading the ovens or tv ..
I'm really frustrated I can't get level 3 - 5
If anyone got farther please give me the strategie which made it possible
Thank you in advance for any tip...

Is this the $550 Egypt level?

Impossible. I am so stuck, I have played it 50 times and started over 3 times from the beginning with different strategies and still no luck at all.

I'm also stuck on the $550 Egypt level after trying every possible combination of upgrade available... GRRR!

Thanks for your replies. I feel better to read there's more of you with the same frustration. I start to feel sorry I bought it.

I'm guessing you're all stuck about the same place as I am, sort of.

Since you can play them in any level, the game ramps up depending on what you played first so it seems like your Egypt may be your 4th world??

I'm playing France as my 4th level and having one heck of a time meeting the monetary goal. . . I'm missing by a decent amount--probably a cake or so, and just can't get that extra customer in the door!!! Yes, it's getting quite frustrating!!

there should be a way to get past these..

Should we maybe try to finish a location before getting to others?????

Luckier then me I cannot even play the thing!! Keeps telling me its a corrupt file.

Tips:

- Serve Anubis first so that he doesn't turn your customers into mummies (changing their orders as a result). Don't give anyone a menu when he's there, so that he can't change their order Only hand out menus and prepare cakes after he's left the building.

- Egyptian Queens always order a second cake after you've delivered the first, so try to get to her quickly.

- Use the "Ra's gift" bonus, which will add time to your clock. Once per level, used while you have many difficult cakes is when this is best used. Can appear as a black cat, or pharaoh.

The first and second time around I had the same problem as all of you here. The third time, I tried a new strategy that turned out to work well! As always, I bought the display first (in case of an oopsie... :whistle . Then I bought the faster shoes, çause more speed means serving more customers. I started making money fast, so then I upgraded my froster and oven, bought the cookie machine, bought the phone (extra order=extra money) and the television. The TV is a valuable piece of equipment, it makes your customers happy which means bigger tips! Next time I might even buy that before the cookie machine. I then started upgrading everything further ASAP. I've only had to replay two levels for not reaching the goal, and some for not reaching the super goal. I'm now finishing up on my 3rd world and got super goal on each level! I agree with the tip about serving Anubis fist so he doesn't change your customers, the same works for the green witches in England. Also, I recommend making good use of the bonuses like the crystal ball and the figurine that gives you extra time, not to mention the powerups you earn in the minigames.
Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot soepie and Webwench; I realy like your tips. I'll try them, for sure. The first level playes slow though.. But I will try again from the start.
I felt I couldn't switch the tv easy, clicking the coloured corners; I got the same channel all the time. I look forward to start trying again though.

Well, if you are in Ancient China, there's a customer there that will change the channel to his favorite every time you click it, so use it for that type of customer, but use cookies on everyone else!

In the other worlds, each character has a specific channel that they react well to, so it's a matter of figuring out which one works on each customer type, and then remembering to use that one for the angry customers.

Hope that makes sense, I'm getting tired I think LOL Oh, and you're welcome!

P.s. I just started a new game too... bought the tv first, then faster shoes, then upgraded my oven and froster... having only one oven and froster limits the customers as to what they can order, so I'm finding it a little easier to manage... on third world, all "super" scores without much effort so far! hehehe

So far I've noticed it does Not matter which game you choose; the difficulty-level is the same.
My opinion so far: level 1: too Easy
2: very nice
3: Unbearable..........grrr...
Have not been able yet to get passed 3.5..........................

good luck to y, webwench. I like y'r comments.!

I really like this game..I'm on the first world and on the last board in that world and I really am frustrated..like eveyone else..but I will try to not give up...

I'm on level 4-3 and cannot get past it. I've tried many different ways of buying the items and I've gotten the farthest with one oven, one froster and one decorator all leveled up to gold. And the fastest shoes. I can't deal with the TV so I don't even bother with it. I was doing really good until now and I just can't make it past this level. This is the most frustrating cake mania yet! But I won't let it beat me. Good luck to all of you!!!

@Fransje66 - I'm glad you like my comments, I hope they're helping a bit!

@ AlaskaLady62 - Wow! I don't know if I could have gotten so far without the TV! I've even upgraded that, and the cookie machine. So far, I think this is the most challenging Cake Mania, and I'm really enjoying it!

Good luck everyone

I am so frustrated...I've tryed and tryed to pass but its just too hard..I wish I had not downloaded it..
