Hi,  The button on the frosters does not work for some reason, I think there are lots of folks who says this.  If you buy a cake stand and then if you have a cake that is not wanted someone will come along and buy it.

I have tried it loads of times, and it never works.  I tried it again today after reading the post, but no luck.  Not that I am bothered, as I wouldn't really use it.

Hi kittiesfiv,

I'll see what I can do to help, as I've played Cake Mania 3 multiple times. 

What I generally tend to do is get the TV ASAP because it helps a lot in maximizing the customers' happiness.  So get it right away if you haven't gotten it yet.  I checked on the Cake Mania 3 page here and it does list which customers like which channels.  Here's the link:

You'll need to click on the Tips&Tricks tab and there, it will list which customers like which channels as well as some other usual information.

As to other tips, what I tend to do is this.  If a customer wishes for a multi-layer cake, I'll bake all of the layers first and then simultaneously frost the layers appropriately.  I won't usually do what the tutorial says and wait until one layer is frosted before frosting the next one. 

I admit that the French Revolution era can be a little more difficult because there aren't as many frostings available on a froster but it can be done.  There just needs to be a little more strategical thinking. 

Also, if Napoleon does show up and you're already making a cake for another customer but then Napoleon prevents you from giving that customer his/her order, then place that order on a cake stand or freezer and then immediately complete Napoleon's order so that he can leave and you can go back to serving the other customers. 

I hope that'll help you get started a bit but if you need more help, let us know and we'll do our best.
