Okay im not the biggest fan of the games but I do enjoy the gameplay for the most part and a helpful hint would be probally focus on buying the better shoes, then the extra ovens, and frosters for those rough times and somewhere in between squeeze in the tv and if you still havent beaten the game try getting the toppers but one side has a topper with two married people if you know which one buy off of it till you get it the brides love that the topper!
Hope this helps
P.S.this is a tip for cake mania 1
