here is another strategy:

1. divide the board vertically into two halves, then focus on the half that is more likely to have many matches that will let you clear one cake, let us say it is the left half, so keep playing on the left half of the board aiming and focusing on quickly clearing one cake in a maximum of 7 to 8 moves, 10 on the most, and DO NOT cross the midline, and if you have to take care the two marmalades on the right are not broken, then

2. when this first cake explodes, the two striped under the marmalades of the right side will get immedately above each other, collect them, at this point you should have 6 combos left and a minimum of 40 moves, then

3. focus on nothing but removing the remaining three cakes and making a combo within another 10 moves maximum, thus will have 5 combos left and a minimum of 30 moves

4. here start playing slowly and think a lot before every move.....consider it as an ordinary level but with 30 moves, before every single move, read the whole board horizontally, vertically and diagonally, try to focus on two things, first making a colour bomb to limit the number of colours, second play in the middle not the sides, if you make a colour bomb, set it immediately, don't hesitate, and if you get a striped on one side of the board and there is no chance to make another for a combo within a maximum of three moves, go back quickly to the middle

i think the only problem in this strategy is that it needs the number of moves to increase to 55 or 60 or may be needs a good board, still it will take a lot of tries, just it may work for you like it did for me, i hope this level is nerfed, it is easy to get three stars but it is very difficult to pass this level, and i suggest also after passing it to get 3 days vacation from candy crush to relax and refresh your mind for 425, good luck
