Experience a slice of the high life with Cake Mania: Celebrity Chef

Reality shows appear to have reached well beyond saturation point by now, with audiences beginning to grow tired of watching talentless people being talentless 24 hours a day.

Conversely, one thing that’s still on the rise is the stock of the celebrity chef, as people seem to enjoy watching talented people being talented for half an hour a week.

Cake Mania: Celebrity Chef mixes both ingredients together to form one delicious gaming cake, with icing and cherries on top. As in previous Cake Mania games you control Jill as she sets about fulfilling each customer’s order in her busy cake shop.

This time, though, you’re not just bringing in the pennies. An international cake baking competition has been launched, so you need to fend off the challenge of a string of rival bakers in front of a studio audience. You must impress in each round in order to earn the right to take on your opponents in a climactic bake-off.

In between levels you’ll be treated to some fun mini-games, which act as a pleasant light bite in between the rich slabs gaming goodness. These require you to stack, catch or distribute cakes within a set period of time, providing a real test for your reflexes.

Cake Mania: Celebrity Chef is no mere trifle, presenting a satisfying feast for fans of multi-tasking game play. Add on the sweetest of icing in the guise of gorgeous visuals and you have yourself a surefire recipe for success.
