Cake Climb is a type of event featured on HTML5. In these events, you must win a predetermined sequence of levels consecutively and in order without failing. If you fail a level and met the level failure message, you must start over from the first level in the sequence.

Cake Climb events, such as Golden Path, still make one-off appearances. The levels involved are derived from existing levels, and may differ per player and per replay. As of September 2022, with Candy Cup, Cake Climb has been nerfed significantly. You will no longer slide down to the first level in the sequence.

Description[]

The wonderful Berry Baker has spent all day and all night baking the most delicious cake the world has ever seen, smelt, tasted or Instagramed. But in her rush to create cake perfection, she forgot to light the candles! Now the frosting is so slippery she can’t get to the top, that is where you come in! Berry Baker needs your help! You have 48hrs (from 22:00 GMT on 25/09/15) to light the candles at the top of the cake and if you succeed, the very merry Berry will reward you in the form of boosters and other goodies.

Lighting the candles is simple but it’s definitely not easy; there are three levels to complete and each time you complete a level you light a candle. If you complete three levels in a row Berry Baker will shower you with epic gifts! If you fail a level, you’ll slip off the cake and will have to start right at the beginning, you will also lose a life!

Info[]

  • Three (sometimes five) levels are given in fixed sequence and you have no choice but to beat them one by one. The last level is likely to be a hexagon level or super hard level.
    • Sometimes, the levels are different from any released ones.
  • The player must complete all levels with only one life. Losing at least one of it will cause the player to slide down to the first level. Exiting the level before making the first move will not cause you to slide down.
  • Reward is one of each item (except the Jackpot) on Daily Booster Wheel.
    • Although the reward list states "1 Striped Candy, 1 Wrapped Candy", it is given as a "Striped and Wrapped".
  • Sometimes, this event can be completed multiple times on the same device.
  • If you have already completed this level, and you get a higher score on the Cake Climb, your higher score will not be saved, unlike mystery quests. For example, if you earned 300,000 points on Level A, and this Cake Climb features the same level on one of its levels, and if you earned 400,000 points on the Cake Climb attempt, your higher score will not be saved.

Variations[]

Numerous variations of Cake Climb appear throughout the game. They may not have the title "Cake Climb" but they have the same mechanics. See here.

Strategy[]

  • Despite looking difficult, it is doable. It depends on what level you encounter with.
  • If you are about to fail, do not quit or meet the failure screen. Just simply quit the app as a whole. If you quit the app, you still slide down.
    • It is possible that you will still lose a life and not slide down. Go to any Cake Climb level, and close the app before making any moves. You will not slide down, but you will lose a life nonetheless.
    • Exiting before the first move is also useful if you encounter an "unlucky" board. As of December 2019, this is no longer true.
  • While you can use as much boosters as you can, only use them when it's necessary.

Trivia[]

  • This event is similar to Treasure Mill from Farm Heroes Saga, Bubblegum Hill from Candy Crush Soda Saga, and Mystery Mountain from Pet Rescue Saga.
  • This is considered by some players as the most difficult event to complete.
  • Occasionally, the title of info screen shows "Can you do it?" or "Cake Challenge!" instead.
  • The first Cake Climb series features levels not corresponding to any released levels; they are unique designs which emphasizes the cake bomb.
    • As of now, one of the layouts has been released later as level 1355.
  • An event held on February 15, 2016 had a special info screen, of celebrating President's Day, but was otherwise the same.
  • As of 2016, the event is first seen with five levels.
    • An earlier variation, Tiffi and the Beanstalk, had six levels divided into two parts. That event also got more levels in each part later.
