An exploding cake. Note that this blocker takes up four squares.

Cake Bomb (also known as Exploding Cakes) is a blocker in Candy Crush Saga first seen in level 366. This blocker is very unusual in many different ways. It is the first and only blocker to take up 4 squares, or a 2x2 area. The blocker is a round pink cake with a star in the middle. This blocker is also potentially the blocker that takes the most hits. It can take anywhere between four and eight hits to destroy an exploding cake.

By simply breaking candies adjascent to the cake, it will break one segment off. The segment broken will be in the quadrant closest to the candies that were broken. Each quadrant contains two slices of cake. If a special candy hits the cake it will take up to four slices off the cake, therefore reducing their efficiency greatly. 

When all eight slices of cake have been removed, a pink party popper appears on the bottom right hand side of the screen and sends a ripple of explosion through the entire board, blowing all candies and blockers away, or if it's a blocker with several layers, takes a layer off. The blocker disappears. The disadvantage is that any special candies on the screen are also blown away, rather than setting them off.

Trivia

  • Clearing the blocker is more effective than the Colour bomb + Colour bomb combo as the combo doesn't touch most blockers. This destroys blockers.
  • This blocker can take anywhere between two and eight hits to destroy. It can therefore take more hits than a five-layer meringue.
  • This is the only blocker to take up four squares.
  • The only thing the explosion doesn't destroy is other cake bombs.
  • Special candies can only ever take up to four slices off the cake. Even a Striped + Wrapped combo only takes two off.
  • The cakes sit in a sachet similar to the meringue sachets. The sachets have hearts inscribed in them, one on each quadrant.
  • Jellies can hide behind the cake bomb.
  • Jellies behind cake bombs aren't destroyed by the explosion.
  • In the entire game, there are 61 cakes total so far. (32 cakes in Pudding Pagoda, 6 in Licorice Tower, 4 in Polka Palooza, 6 in Soda Swamp, 7 in Rainbow Runway, 4 in Butterscotch Boulders, and 2 in Sugary Shire.)
