Jill decides to show the mega corporation what her family's baking is all about and opened her own bakery in order to earn enough money to buy back Evans Bakery.
Can Jill handle the pressure of running her own business and beat Mega-Mart? In Cake Mania , your job is to help Jill meet the monthly quota through 48 progressively difficult levels.
This is no simple task because you will have to bake quickly as well as serve the customers quickly.
There are a variety of different customers to serve.
From nice old ladies to impatient holiday icons like Cupid! Each kind of customer have a different patience-level (indicated by the number of hearts).
The longer they wait, the lower their patience.
If they get too low, they will storm off and cost you money! When a customer first enters your bakery, hand them a menu.
Then they will give you their order (in the form of a thought bubble) and you will have to create that cake.
If you create the wrong cake (wrong shape or wrong frosting, etc) then you will have to throw it away and start over (costing you more money).
You start off with one oven and one frosting machine.
Between levels you will have the opportunity to purchase upgrades or new items that will improve the bakery's.
For example, you can purchase upgrade your oven to one that bakes faster or you can purchase a T.V. that will help improve customers' patience.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Cake Mania 3 for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Cake Mania 3 to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2009.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Cake Mania 3, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo DS titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
