If you have a sweet tooth, this game is a good recipe for digital baking pastries.
Grab your apron🧑‍🍳, fire up the oven🔥, and let's dive into the sweet world of Lemon Cake 🍋🎮!

• 1. Master the Basics of Baking:
  Pay close attention to the baking tutorial at the beginning of the game. Understanding the basics of baking is crucial for success.
  Get used to using Sprint to serve orders quickly. Use Numbers to select the recipes you want to bake, not the mouse. Those Keyboard Binds save time.
  
  
• 2. Keep an Eye on Customer Orders:
  Watch for customer orders.
  Fulfilling their orders while the bar is within the blue range (Perfect Order) will earn you more money.
  
  
• 3. Upgrade Your Store first:
  As you progress, invest in store upgrades first to improve your money making efficiency. The Coffee Machine makes a significant difference in how easy you can make multiple perfect orders. For the Greenhouse upgrades, prioritize getting the Rail Cart.
  Don't rush the Sprinkler, you will lose the experience that you get for watering a plant.
  
  
• 4. Plan Your Baking Strategy:
  Plan your baking strategy carefully.
  Arrange your menu with recipes that have similar ingredients in order to save time and resources. The menu should have as many boosts as possible in order to get a higher tips percentage. Luckily, there is no need to actually have that many recipes in your menu to get that variety boost.
  
  
• 5. Stay Organized:
  Keep your kitchen organized.
  In the Preparation phase before opening the bakery, make sure to have everything fully stocked up, all plants watered and animals brushed. This will help you work more efficiently.
  
  
• 6. No need to actually experiment with Recipes:
  For your menu, be careful not to include multiple recipes that contain different types of resources. However, take advantage of new recipes since they grant a onetime massive tip boost.
  
  
• 7. Practice Makes Perfect:
  Like any game, practice is essential. The more you play, the better you'll become at baking. A thing to keep in mind is that baking the same recipe increases its grade. The higher the grade the higher its earning. A+ is the highest grade. Don't get discouraged by early burns.

After playing for more than 100 days, I noticed the following:

• Having different bakes on Window Displays is recommended in the beginning when you want to get as many Perfect orders as possible. By mid-game and after multiple upgrades (unlocking multiple Window Displays for example), I noticed that it is more useful to have the most time consuming bakes on those displays. As an extra, you earn more money this way since a lot of items that take a long time to bake actually get you more cash.
  
• The Blueberry cheesecake is a gold mine. Especially if you fill all those Window Displays with it.
  
• The Marshmallow is a hidden weapon in increasing Tips since you can make it quickly with just one ingredient. It comes in handy during lunch rush too.
  
• Don't start a day if you have less than a 50% boost in Tips.
  
• Use a new recipe as a strategic boost in Tips. For example, if you used a recipe too many times, but you want to use that recipe even if you get a temporary reduction in Tips.
  
• Avoid using the same recipes every day!
  
• You do get some XP when a cat is being adopted.
  
• The Decorations upgrades are truly meant to be last since they offer nothing but a visual change to a room where you stay 30 seconds at best.
  
• Buying a bookcase gets you the opportunity to collect 7 tips from Miss Bonbon's Cookbook, 5 notes Miss Bonbon's Diary and 4 Miss Bonbon's Secret Notes.
  Side-note: I created a guide to display their content. You can check it here.
  
• I reached level 40 after 115 days. Here is my fully upgraded bakery:
