Happy Baking!

Hi Chefs!

Glad to see you enjoying Cakes and Cookies so much!
Just like with the base game, we'll keep taking good care of the expansion. Thanks to your awesome feedback and many suggestions, we'll be looking for ways to further streamline the gameplay and make it even more fun.

Here are some of the updates planned for the nearest future:

June 18th - Sandbox mode

The Sandbox mode will be available on Thursday, because it still required a few adjustments. We know how much you guys liked this mode in the base game and there's no way we could've skipped that for Cakes and Cookies. In the meanwhile, make sure to check out the basic mode. The expansion provides much more chilled out experience - there are not orders awaiting and virtually no penalties. The daily hashtags are more of a suggestion but it's not required to follow them to sell cakes. Additionally, we've made sure that there's enough sources available right from the start so you can check out everything this DLC has to offer!

June 25th - more figurines

It seems you guys have fallen in love with all the fancy decorations and we'll be more than happy to deliver you more sets of beautiful figurines.

July 2nd - Chaos Tool

That's right! Very soon you'll be able to wreck your kitchen like never before.
THIS FREE UPDATE AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE WHO OWNS THE BASE GAME.

A quick recap of it's features:

• Shooting ignited firecrackers. Initially we wanted it to shoot darts but firecrackers sound like more fun!💥🧨
  
• Shooting beams that mess with the gravity of individual objects. Houston, we're about to have a problem!🛰️🌌👨‍🚀
  
• Shooting beams that change the scale of objects. Ever wanted to spend some time in the kitchen with a human-sized banana?🔼🔽🍌
  
• Shooting chosen objects. You pick an item you want to use as ammo and the Chaos Tool can shoot is as much as you want.🍅🥦🥕 🔫
  
• A beam which swapps objects for other random objects. Because why not!🍎⚗️🥩
  
• Shockwave!🌊🌊

Happy Baking!

Thanks for the warm welcoming of Cakes and Cookies. We're super happy to see you enjoying the expansion!

Regarding the Sandbox mode. It will be available as an update next Thursday, because it still requires a few adjustments.

Don't worry though, we've made sure that the basic mode is super chill. Cakes and Cookies is a very different experience from the base game. There are virtually no punishments. You'll have plenty of resources from the very beginning, so you can check out all the ingredients, tools and decorations the DLC has to offer. Daily hashtags work more as a suggestion, you don't have to follow them, if you don't feel like it. Chilling out making your own customised cakes and cookies is what this expansion is all about.

We would appreciate it so much, if you could leave a positive review for Cakes and Cookies on Steam, if you're enjoying the game. That would make Bobo happy!

Cakes and Cookies is now available!

To sweeten it up, this new expansion is currently on a -20% launch discount and Cooking Simulator is -35% off. Additionally, we've setup a new Complete the Set bundle containing both Cooking Simulator and Cakes and Cookies at-15%. The deals add up, so there's no better time to start your culinary adventures!💸💸💸

The new expansion gives you an opportunity to run your own confectionery and prepare various pastries, cakes, donuts, and cookies! There are tons of new ingredients, including different types of flour, butter, eggs, chocolate, fillings, icings, and toppings just to name a few! New mechanics allow for kneading, baking, deep frying, filling, stacking cakes, icing/frosting, topping/dusting, and decorating using fruits, figurines, and whipped cream. On top of that, the expansion introduces a brand-new rating system that doesn't require following any strict recipes. Your score will be based on how well your desserts match daily trends, and it's completely up to you to come up with ideas that will make your customers happy.




Thank you for your support and for participating in the wishlist challenge! You guys are the best! Don't forget to share your fancy desserts – we can't wait to see your ideas!
