Community Insight:
We had this game a really long time ago on an iPod touch and randomly remembered it existed a few weeks ago and its still just as fun as we remember.
First off, how is this game so calming?! We LOVE the different flavors to bake! And the toppings! We love the the donut doodle app too by the way! The custom create cake (make as many tiers as you want and any shape) is too good! But, theres something even more great…… NO ADS!!!! ZERO!!! So get this app.
We love this game so much. This game is the reason we got married. Its the reason we have children. Our favorite child is our 3rd btw. Anyway, this game makes our day every time. The graphics when you mix the batter together is so impressive it looks better than despicable us. ALL of them. The fact that you can put a picture on the cake is also so crazy and when we tell you we were flabbergasted for WEEKS afterwards. This game is just so worth getting and even more so considering a duck made it.
This game it is possibly the most incredible thing we have ever seen. You haters dont understand. This helped cure our childhood trauma and it is now our life.
Ive had this game for about 7 years now and it is really fun. Its a good way to spend time and it doesnt require internet, but it hasnt had an update for years. We dont know if the devs even care about it anymore but we love this game and a small update to textures or something would be greatly appreciated.
This is a really fun game its unique never seen a baking app like this one. Once you start playing time goes by SUPER fast. So many different looks of the tips make the cake look good enough to actually EAT. Plus you can customize the shape of your cake. We love to make new colors of frosting with the color pallet. The fondant flowers are pretty cool as well. Its also cool that you can pick a font and color if write something to go on your cake. We recommend the Chalkboard font.
This game is amazing! You get to pick a flavor of a cake and put frosting and toppings on it and just about everything!!! We are obsessed!!! Its super entertaining and satisfying and it has no challenges or levels or anything! Its just plain Cake Doodle! And double, theres no adds or anything annoying! Its just a game! Hopefully this review satisfies and inspires everyone who wants to download this game. You can delete it if you dont like it, but we challenge you to download it and try it out. 90 out of 100%, youll like it So that is our review! We hope you enjoyed it and to everyone out there who sees this game and wants to get it, do what your gut tells you to, which is probably getting this game (which is what we did) Have a nice rest of your day.
This app is AMAZING, and as a kid with ADHD whos almost 16, we still love playing this game. Its super fun to design the cakes and then make more! 5 things we think you should add 1. The ability to tie a bow around the cake (kind of like the ones you see on wedding cakes) 2. Non-binary characters for the wedding toppers 3. Adding adding some lunar new year and LGBT pride terms to the holiday decorations section of the cake decor step 4. Adding at least 3-5 baby shower related cake toppers 5. Adding a bride in an Asian style wedding dress, Hawaiian style wedding dress, and middle eastern style wedding dress. This is important to us because we want all people to feel represented.
We is amazing becuse we love baking so we feel like we are realy making a cake in persen.
We love that you can doodle on the cake after you bake your favorite cake!! You dont even have to make you can just press instant if you want to just go and color your cake.
We just got this game because we wanted to have a combotion with our friend but then we played it every day and night. GET THIS GAME NOW.
Literally are used to play this game all the time on our grandmas iPod we looked all over to find it again we are so happy this is probably the best game ever five stars.
So much better than just a game. Ive used the recipes to make real cakes and they always turn out AMAZING.
We have had this game for about 5 years and it is still one of the best games. We like how this game you dont have any ads. You actually experiencing making the cake. Adding the ingredients is really cool its like youre actually doing it. Also how you can pick a lot of the stuff. We have nothing bad to say about it so its good job people made it.
Can you add cranberry flavor. Can you add dragon fruit flavor.
Favorite childhood game, but we want more types of cakes so it can be more fun! Maybe more shapes, too :D like a cat.
It is a way of bringing baking into your life but not for real.
This game makes for the cake we dont have 5 stars.
We were born in 2006 and this game was our favorite thing ever to play on our ipod. Its still fun and brings back every memory.
We remember this game back when we were 10, and even almost 7 years later, Im glad to see its still around, and it seems like it even have more added! Sure, its not 100% accurate to actual cooking, and sure, there may not be the most exciting decorating items, but its still a great memory game, children and adults alike for a little bit of a time passer.
Great Game we love shoe the goose games.To chose frosting,flavor,and toppings is really fun.To shape cakes and frost them is our favorite part.we also like to make our own colored frosting. Developers For Developers,2 things.1.More toppings.2.More shapes to make cakes Thanks.
Hey, our name is Milan, we are a kid. We love your game Cake doodle and we were wondering if you can download what type of cake you want to make for party or a wedding. We love your app when we get babies and they play this game they would love it!! Thanks Shoe The Goose!! Youre awesome.
Our two daughters love this app. We have dozens of other age-appropriate games, but they still come back to this one even 2+ years after we downloaded it. We wonder if you could actually make the recipes.
We have had this app for almost 3 years and it never gets old! Our students LOVE making and decorating cakes together.
This game is super fun and it has no adds.
This great for all ages, but the developers havent done much to update their games lately. We gave it four stars because our fear is that when there is another iOS update Shoe the Goose games wont work anymore, and it will be a waste of money.
Great game, decent graphics, fun idea. But, there could be more realistic recipe selections and more realistic ingredients. And, maybe you could have a choice to make frosting the frosting… And we know what youre thinking, why is this 11 year old kid ranting about graphics and realistic choices?. And, the reason why, is because we want our games to be a good quality. Thank you for your time, and God bless you.
This is a great game for kids who want to make cake! Also kids can make varietys of different types of cakes and their colors. Good game.
This game is the best cake making game ever.
This is an a very good app. We would recommend it for pretty much anyone and it keeps kids distracted.
This app is awesome it says ages 6-8 but this app is great for all ages. We definitely would recommend this app.
This is the BEST app!! We just got it and it is awesome!! It is totally worth five stars.
Cake Doodle is an awesome game. We would recommend to download it. We think there should be a feature where you can send cakes to other players around the world. Please add this we think it'd be really cool. Great game.
We love this app so much we think that everyone should get it.
It is like making a real cake with out the all the work. Give it to your friend's. There is a lot of different kinds of flavors you can make and the Decorations are OutStanding!!! An AMAZING app.
Y IE TI E E EE OE IT IT we GET O GE EE Y TE.
Love the game! Could use some more flavored though.
We love this game it does ask you to rate it a lot but what game doesn't this game is amazing.
We had this game for a while–it was fun! We love baking, so this was great.;) Eventually, we did tire of it, and deleted it to make more room on our phone….but it was on our phone longer than most apps! /;D Overall, this game is good:);).
This is fun. The kids love and even we do but it but it's get gotten bored. The game BARELY EVER gets updated. The same still the exact game now, with the exception of very few things, Even though it's only 99 cents, there need to be more frequent adds and updates. Just do SOMETHING To make the game newer.
It gives you recipes for real life. And fun all the time.
This game is amazing! We love playing it, and there are so many different types of cakes and Flavors to choose from! We highly recommend this app.
Best game ever ,love it especially since everything is unlocked and how it has many choices.
Please put more cakes in this app! (example: coffee cake) Also, you should put more cake styles! (example: bundt cake; cake pops) And you should make a different way to eat the cakes (example: touch the cake and it will be cut into a fraction and eat the pieces) This is a great app! And it makes us want to eat some cake.
We've had this game since it first came out and we just love to create so many cakes! Our only SUGGESTION, PLEASE ADD more cake textures like lace.
Cake doodle is so awesome because U don't have to buy anything to make or decorate the cakes! :).
We are so amazed at this game! We love that there are no in-app purchases, and the cakes are always one of a kind. Those of you about to download this game, do it! It's totally worth the money.
We liked how nothing was locked and there was soooo many flavors! The way you got to make the batter was awesome.
Shoe the goose is the Best Cake Making game ever we've Played it since we were 4years old :0 Ya! Ya! Ya! Nothing is stupid in this game or dumb )$( Your Money is so worth it For this game It dosen't cost stupid Stars uhh for this game.
