Levels
Cupcake Circus contains levels 171 to 185. This episode starts off easy, with all of the 170s being easy, but the end of this episode brings a cluster of some very hard levels. Every level from 180-184 can be considered hard, some being extremely hard, such as 181 and 184. These five levels is known as Hell's Cluster. This episode contains the most annoying notorious level 181 which is possibly one of the hardest ingredient drop levels due to the meringues.

As a result, this episode is quite hard.

There are 5 jelly levels, 4 ingredient drop levels, 4 candy order levels and 2 timed levels.
