Cupcake Forest

Cupcake Forest was an episode of Candy Crush Saga that was supposedly the 30th episode, only it was a hoax. This hoax was first seen several days before episode 30, Rainbow Runway's real release. The hoax first appeared around July 12, five days before the episode was actually released.

The hoax
No one knows who exactly was behind the hoax, but it is assumed that it came about on the regular Candy Crush Saga wikipedia page. They have a list of episodes there, and a vandal probably edited it and wrote "Cupcake Forest". Crushingcandies.com saw this and then put it on their website, leading to a huge rumour that the thirtieth episode would be "Cupcake Forest".

Many people were sceptical, however, as Candy Crush Saga had never announced a Cupcake Forest and the episode wasn't out yet, also there had already been an episode with the word "cupcake" in, Cupcake Circus. When the promotional image for episode 30 came out a couple of days later, which showed a unicorn on a cloud, Cupcake Forest was imediately recognised as a hoax.

The Candy Crush Saga wikipedia page removed it from the episodes list, and Crushingcandies.com removed the Cupcake Forest page and apologised for the false information.

It is unknown if the original vandal on the wikipedia page was caught.

Trivia

 * Cupcake Forest was said to contain 7 jelly levels, 2 objective levels, 5 ingredient drop levels and one timed level. This piece of information seemed dodgy to a lot of players, as no episode had just 2 objective levels, and the trend at that point had been 6 objective levels. There was also an abundance of ingredient drop levels as the current trend had been 2 or 3 ingredient drop levels.
 * The "proper" Episode 30 turned out to be Rainbow Runway.
