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 PlayStation 2
The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.
Gamevaro tracks Cake Mania: Baker's Challenge for PlayStation 2 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: Baker's Challenge 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 PS2 release dates back to 2008.

Rarity & condition
