Papa's Cupcakeria To Go! – Strategy Game Review
Papa's Cupcakeria To Go! is a Strategy/Simulation game from Flipline IDS LLC, first launched in 14th September 2015.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 565+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Papa's Cupcakeria To Go! Stand Out
Bake and decorate delicious cupcakes on the go with this brand-new version of Papa's Cupcakeria, with gameplay and controls reimagined for iPhone and iPod Touch!
You'll need to multitask between four areas of the cupcake shop, with new controls designed to work just right in the palm of your hand. Head to the Order Station to take orders from your wacky customers in the lobby. Switch to the Batter Station to prep the pans with liners and add just the right amount of batter. Move to the Bake Station to put the cupcakes into the oven and wait for them to bake. Jump to the Build Station to add frosting to the cupcakes, and decorate them with a variety of shakers, drizzles, and festive toppers. Each station is a hands-on experience, where you'll need to drag, swipe, and tap your way through the cupcake-crafting process.
Keep your customers happy to earn more points and level up. As your level rises, you'll unlock new toppings for the shop, and new customers will start visiting the Cupcakeria! A set of well-crafted cupcakes will also earn you tips to spend on in the Shop, and Mini-Game Tickets to use in the daily Mini-Game!
NEW FOR PAPA'S CUPCAKERIA TO GO
NOW WITH HOLIDAYS – Holidays are finally available in a "To Go" version! As you reach new ranks, the seasons and holidays within the game will automatically change, unlocking new holiday-themed ingredients for the shop! We've also included a number of holidays that weren't available in the original version!
PLAY MINI-GAMES – Earn Mini-Game tickets as you serve customers, and spend those tickets in the daily Mini-Game available after each workday! You can earn prizes in each Mini-Game, which you can use to decorate your lobby. Earn all bronze, silver, and gold stars in a Mini-Game to unlock Rare Prizes!
NEW INGREDIENTS – We've added lots of new ingredients which can't be found in the original version of the game, including brand-new items for the new holidays in the game. We've also added new holiday batters to the game, so each holiday's cupcakes will be even more unique!
CONTROL WITH YOUR THUMBS – You'll switch stations using buttons in the corners of the screen, perfect for your thumbs. You can also use buttons in the top corners to quickly switch Order Tickets, and you can view all of your Order Tickets in a zoomed-in mode for easy reading.
BATTER and BAKE STATIONS – We've redesigned the Batter and Bake Stations for smaller screens, so you can easily add liners, pour batter, and bake cupcakes like a cupcake master!
FROSTING CUPCAKES – You'll add frosting to cupcakes in a brand-new way that feels great with touch screens! Choose a frosting type, then drag the cupcake left and right as the frosting pours down from above. This new method gives you a great amount of control, letting you decorate your cupcakes like a pro!
ADDING TOPPINGS – The Topping Bin carousel from previous "To Go" games is back, making it easy to browse through your available toppings! You'll swipe the carousel of Topping Bins to choose the item you want to use, then grab the cupcake to start pouring toppings evenly across the cupcake. Tap a button to switch to festive toppers for your cupcakes, and tap a convenient slider to swap between the two cupcakes in the order!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game is so nostolgic for us. We used to play it on coolmaths.com during math class. Im twenty two and we still play it. Thank you for making such a great game and for not overpricing it.
We been playing these games since elementary school, we had this game for over a year. This game is not a hard game at all, its a very simple and easy game with simple and easy instructions. The build part is easy, just hitting the arrow, easier with double batter, nothing hard. The cooking is easy too since you dont have to go back and check when you have to flip it. The hardest part about this game is the build. Whether its putting down the icing or toppings it definitely the part where you will mess up or get a lower than the wait time, build, or cooking. This game is pretty good except the only problem is the QUALITY. Its not as good as papas donuteria or bakeria. This game also lacks the updates as todays specials or customization for your characters outfits as those games go. But we think thats what makes the game so easy. Overall, a good game. Only problem is quality and the customer count for us is up to 6 customers a day. Not that hard. If you want a simple game do this, but if you want a more challenging game with more things to do then use another one.
We really like this game, it looks just like the original game we used to play on our computer when we were a kid.
Keeps us busy and its also very fun.
U cant change ur character on here, but its still so fun! Its more of a relaxed yet really fun gameplay, we like when games are more on the relaxed side than a rushed finished as soon as possible side. The holiday rotation & toppings are so fun! Love this game its worth the money maybe worth even more! We love your games filpine.
Yall install this app and poison people.
The game is good but consider adding character customization.
We have purchased 9 of your guys apps (including this one as the 9th.)! Papas burgeria, papas cupcakeria, papas pancakeria, papas freezeria (which is by far our favorite) papas cheeseria, papas bakeria, papas sushiria, papas scooperia, and papas mocharia! All being the to-go ones! Id say they all are pretty worth the money! But, this one is what im mainly talking about in this one. We ADORE this app and love each and every single topping, batter, decoration, and more!! But the thing is, it just gets repetitive overtime. Anyways, we dont know what else to write, because we were just bored and wanted to write a review on an app. But, the app slider scouts that you guys has made that we ABSOLUTELY AM OBSESSED WITH we NEVER knew that it was made by you guys!! But, we love it! Great work flipline studios, keep up the good work! We plan on getting more of the papas cooking apps in the future. We definitely recommend you guys get this app! – from your dear reviewer, strawberrymornings.
This game is wonderful, but our problem with it is the quality. We do not know if it is a problem with our phone, as we have not seen other reviews mentioning this, but we have other papas games installed and they all look good.
Ok so when we discovered thAt the papas games had mobile apps for them, we decided to get some, including this one. This game is SO MUCH FUN!!!! We cant recommend it enough.
We really love this game! Our only suggestion is that we enjoyed the lobby decoration system from the old game on the computer, and we wish this feature was the same. Although the lobby can still be decorated it seems like the point system was taken away.
We used to play this in school all the time! We were all the games were free but sadly there anywhere from $0.99 to $1.99. This one has always been our fav but we havent tried all of them.
This is such a good game! When we were smaller we played papas Cupcakeria on the computer whenever we were bored we are so happy that they had this game on mobile it it exactly the same as it was when we were smaller. We love this game and it is totally worth the $1.99. Great game overall.
We absolutely love this game and theres nothing to criticize about it. We also love it cuz it makes us really nostalgic!! Thanks.
The cupcakes taste yummy. Thank you. Love you mom. We love cupcakes.
This game is totally worth the money. You get new ingredients and customers often enough that your not sitting there playing through days until you get new ones, but you also dont get them every day so your still motivated. The holidays last for the perfect amount of time. The only thing that would make this game better would be if we got to design our character like in some of the other papa louie games but its not a big deal. Also maybe if there were more closers. The holidays are super fun and the characters are super creative. We can not recommend this game enough.
We used to play this all the time in elementary school on cool math games. You should definitely buy this so you can be a cool kid. If youre good enough, you can impress your crush with your frosting abilities.
We like the game but its not up to date like all the others you have less customizable options and it doesnt have the tool bar at the top like the other games.
We own all the papas games on our phone, we've loved them since we were young. Please please PLEASE make the other 7 papas food making games for iOS Im really wanting Sushiria. Its our favorite game.
This game is really fun, because every holiday you get new toppings and cupcake holders! But maybe add sushiria and cheesaria because we would love to buy those as well.
We were looking at the papas games and accidentally tapped buy we set our iPad to automatic so we couldnt stop it . Is there anyway to reverse it? Please.
We LOVE THIS GAME! Update:we still love this game but we have a few requests. Request #1-Make it so that we can edit our person and not just use a pre-made one. Request #2-Make some of the utensils cheaper. And Request #3-Make it to where we choose which theme we want to do. And maybe if we dont want a holiday theme maybe add an aquarium or movie (like Harry Potter) or circus theme. Plz take our requests into consideration. Thx.
This game is a great game we used to play these games on the computer and to be honest the to go one is our favorite but we really with donuteria, pasteria, cheeseria, sushiria, bakeria were on here cuz tbh we would get it! But overall this game is an amazing game! There are no bugs either.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RELEASE PASTARIA.
Cupcakeria is our favorite out of all the other games. We just wish it had better graphics and we can create our own characters and clothes etc all the fun features like the newer games. PLEASE UPDATE.
We love this game, especially since baking is our hobby. Ive been playing this game for a couple years now. We would rate it a 5, but the only thing is that these games dont give us the option to save credentials. If we lose the app by accident or whatever, all our progress could be lost & wouldnt want to start all over. :(.
We really love this game. For us, we wish this could be updated to be more modern but could be able to keep its original look. Like maybe changing how the customers walk and how it looks like when you start a day! We also wished that this could be updated so that newer iPhones could be able to pause and be able to get out the app. When we try to do it, the game unpauses and in this case, we have to just close the app and restart our day. Thats all we have! Thank you if you update this.
Ive played this game for years and its always been our #1 papas game since we were younger. But as Ive gotten older, Ive realized that the game gets a little boring after a while and also the FROSTING is so hard to ever get perfect and we can only get it to say great but neverrr perfecttt. But, this is a great game and the rest of it is so nice and simple and we love it.
Hello, so we just got this game, literally, we opened it and the game had low quality.
So we bought this game not that long ago and we are obsessed with it. We used to play this game all the time on our computer and im glad they made a mobile version. The only problem is that it hasnt been updated in 5 years. Compared to the new papas games, they have character customization, floor designs, the parade and more audio settings. We feel like thats all this game needs. Making some improvements in the quality would make this a 5 star game. If that can please be taken into consideration that would be amazing. Awesome game.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE UPDATE THE GAME THE QUALITY IS OLD AND we WANT TO BE ABLE TO CREATE our own CHARACTER BECAUSE ON ALL THE OLD GAMES THERES RARELY ANY BLACK PLAYERS THAT YOU CAN CHOOSE FROM.
We love this game and how there is a game for mobile but can you please maybe think about us having custom characters like of how we can on computer/pc websites of this game? And we need a setting to where we can save game data, and change fps Quality. Thank you.
Love the fact youve made these games available on the app store and am grateful regardless but it would make the game and experience of playing so much more enjoyable if you updated the quality of the graphics. On the computer theyre not even this bad. Update these games to support newer phones please! Its been years where yall at.
We LOVEEEE THIS GAME def our fave of the franchise we just wish the graphics were updated and more clean.
Thats all :D if youre going to put a custom character in the icon & advertise it that way, they should be part of the game.
Ok! This game isnt bad at all, its just like the computer version, however we just feel the quality is worse then the actual game. We understand why, with all of that code and work put into a phone game is hard. But we just feel they could have fixed some things or added some minor changes such as being able to create your own character, etc. We like this game, its cool and gets the job done, but it feels like they abandoned this game, left it in the dust, added no updates to it, and just worked on newer projects like the cluckeria for example. Thats all we have to say! – aaron :).
Flip line, Ive bought 7 of your games and live all of them. Pls update this and all the other older games to be as good quality as the newer ones. Its a really fun game but the bad graphics make it a little annoying compared to the others.
When we first opened the game we immediately noticed the graphics quality. Its much lower than all the other gamerias. We love all the gamerias this one included its just the graphics make it a little harder to look at than the others. We still play it and enjoy it! The graphics just make a little less fun, because the graphic quality is lower it makes the game look a little fuzzy and harder to read. Other than the graphics, we LOVE it.
The icon makes it seem like you can change outfits like in the original game, but you cant. It doesnt even have the character advertised in the icon (with the real bow like in the old game). Add the character customization to make it more like the original, and make it where the furniture increases customer happiness during wait time (again, like the original) then it would be perfect.
We love this game sooo much but we think a customizable character would make this game 10x better.
PLEASE ADD the option to customize your character like the original game when it was in flash we really loved this feature and it was our Favorite so pleaseeeeeeeeeee add it pleaseeeeeeee Im begging please add it also the games so fun we played it when we were in elementary school and now Im grown and we still enjoy it.
Ive been playing these games since like middle school and theyve always been pretty fun and an easy way to pass time. HOWEVER, the only problem we have is that theres no setting to keep gameplay audio on while turning the background music off. Sometimes ill literally have to turn the game off, not because we want to stop playing but because the repetitive jingle-like song plays in the back and drives us absolutely insane. If we turn the audio off, we cant use our door/oven bell upgrades because we cant hear them. Great game but pLEASE ADD THIS OPTION, especially for a game that actually cost money on the app store.
We love all of the Papa games, and we love the gameplay with this one! We do wish you could create a custom character once you launch the game though, since those were always fun to us in the other games like Cheeseria and Pastaria. The resolution is also lower so it stretches to fit the screen of our iPhone, so if there was any way to fix that it would be great! Otherwise the game is perfect.
Not worth a dollar but still interesting and fun to play if you are driving in the car for a while needs no WiFi.
First of all we love this game as much as we do every other papa louies games on this entire AppStore but we think its time that you updated the older games like the Cupcakeria, Freezeria, etc because android users can get to go hd but for apple iPhone users thats not an option so Im not asking you make a separate app but we just think youd have much more people buying the older games if they were updated even if you bump them up a dollar to match the already updated games.
The computer version of this is great, and Im so glad we got the game on our phone, but maybe an update would be nice to be able to create your own character like you can on the computer ? And the option is on Papas Scooperia and Im sure others for the mobile devices, but not on this one.
Please update it so it looks like Bakeria and Wingeria please.
We really really love this game and its super addicting! Our only problem is you used to be able to customize your character, and we really loved that feature! Maybe Im missing something…? If you make a new update please include being able to make your character. Love this game, great job.
We love the papa Louie cooking games. If always played them on the computer but we wanted to try out the mobile games. Ive started to notice a drastic change in graphics and sharpness throughout the games. We think if they updated the graphics of the game, the game would be much more fun to play.
Love this game so obsessed with it, but we wish u could serve more than 6 people, also add daily specials would be nice.
