Bonbon Cakery – Simulation Game Review
Bonbon Cakery is a Simulation/Family/Entertainment game from Kairosoft Co.,Ltd, first launched in 3rd March 2016.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 278+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Bonbon Cakery Stand Out
Have your cake and eat it too in this latest and greatest of cakery simulators, fresh from the Kairosoft oven!
Improve your prowess as a pâtissier by pioneering a bountiful catalogue of high-ranking recipes. For example, combine a sponge cake with strawberries and cream–and presto! You'll have whipped together a supple shortcake! Even grace your creations with toppings for added effect. And once you think you're ready, test your confectionary capacity by pitting these pastries in grand competitions!
Pleasing the palates of your beloved customers will aid your culinary crusade by earning cash rewards and tasty ingredients. These delectables hail from specific regions–which you'd do well to take note of. Once you've pooled sufficient funds, invest to break ground in new markets!
Persevere in the path of the pâtissier to eventually unlock secret features like the "Hall of Fame Challenge," in which you'll need to fill a flurry of fast orders, and "Recipe Lab," allowing you to step up the quality of your sweets.
But wait, there's more! Cherries on top include an online feature allowing friends from across the country to visit your personal cakery, as well as a "Truck Sales" mode allowing the pastry peddling to continue in real time–even while you sleep!
With a pinch of time and a dash of TLC, you'll agree… success was never so sweet!

Community Insight:
We love this game, and we find ourselves going back to it every once in a while as the months and years go by. Its much more in-depth than youd think, but we prefer the beginning of most tycoon games where youre fighting to keep up with everything. All of this deeper games have followed us through our childhood and into our adulthood. It started with the apartment manager one (we cant remember the name off the top of our head.) and thats how we stumbled onto this one way back when. We love that they update the game just enough to keep it on the AppStore so people like us can continue to enjoy it for years to come. If you havnt tried this timeless classic, we totally recommend it.
Stimulates. Just sooo fun. Love this game.
We didnt really like the UI. The game itself was fine though.
We played this game for a year. Its very fun and time killing!! We play other Kairosoft games as well, but this is by far our favorite. Or should we say was. The game no longer loads or opens. We get stuck on an infinite loading screen. Tried deleting and reinstalling. Resetting phone, nothing works. What happened.
We just paid and Im still dealing with ads. We love the other games. The fact theyre even dealing with ads (especially with consumers paying) feels a little bit greedy. Like we just gave you our money, boos! Why do you need ad dollars too.
We love this game a lot; however, an error occurred only in Japanese writing. A similar error occurred in another persons review as well. We tried clicking yes and no on the error pop up but, sadly nothing changed and the game didnt go back to normal:(. We also noticed another thing that was weird in the game. Once you reach a certain level there will be challenges you can play. These challenges will have different people requesting an idea of an order or sweet they would like. It might show up l want something sweet, chocolate, or creamy. We would put an ingredient that would match it but l still wouldnt succeed in that persons request. We hope the mistakes in the game get fix and winning the contests are pretty difficult as its not concise in what its asking. Its a good game but has a lot issues that needs to be worked on. Now lm sure our data left on the game is gone and l will have to start over.
PLEASE MAKE THIS AVAILABLE ON NINTENDO SWITCH.
This game is good because of its creativity, and it's divine experience.
We started playing today and we love it! Just one suggestion maybe add more guidance sometimes we get confused! But thats ok we all get confused sometimes im just requesting more guidance. Other then that this is a great game and we love it so much.
Would play this game for so long combining up ingredients and such to discover new flavors that the customers like, or new types of pastries maybe for the contest judges to taste! (we dont think its possible to go bankrupt in this game but its mainly easy to get out of negative funds) Love the characters, the shops, everything about this game is so charming. Im sad to see it start to come to an end with how little updates are coming but im still playing! :D.
OMG OMG we CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW MUCH we LOVE YOUR GAMES! We always wanted to play a game that seemed nostalgic and cute at the same time, thankfully we finally found it!! Your games give off such a warming and optimistic feeling to it and reminds us of good memories of our childhood!! We love the pixelated animations, the characters are so sweet, the concept of the game is SO ADDICTING !! OMG we love all your games! Especially dream city story!!!! Ive never written a review before but we felt that we just had to with your games!!! Thank you so much.
Please add more bonbon content and add other updates! We love BonBon Cakery so much so do our friends we wish there were more cakes for the cakery! We love you bonbon.
Game is normally in portrait mode but when making a cake it goes to landscape mode, causing some of the screen to become a black void. This only resets when force quitting the app and happens every single time. Other than that, it runs fine.
It was taking a long time to load.
We cant get into the game. Its stuck in the loading screen we love the game tho. Its so addicting. REALLY buggy tho.
The game itself is well designed with many elements we enjoy, the main problem we find is they have games that are more rewarding/enjoyable. Their most recent game Coffee Story we find more enjoyable in the loop of creating and faster than this game which is important for replay ability. We personally do not recommend this game if youre getting into Kairosoft, play Coffee Story instead.
One of our favorite games by you .. It crashed once we got so far black screen 2 options about a data.
The ad is not fit to the touchscreen and the close button is quite literally unreachable; unable to progress further through the game as the game itself is inaccessible.
So we were playing the game and to back we turned our ipad tp discover So we got to the mane place and we could see where all the caricatures go in a place where there is a black room and only color where they are and there stacked up needs to be fixed good luck ps why not make it so it stays still.
We use to play this game all the time when we had an android phone. Now that we have an iPhone and iPad, it seems like this game wont work for later versions. We really loved playing this game and when we went to play it again recently, it was stuck on the loading screen and stood at 100%. We did everything we could to try and fix it but nothing worked. We would appreciate it if you could update for recent versions so we could be able to play again.
We love this game, we have been playing for the past 6 years but it has been stuck on the loading screen and we are unable to play.
We are obsessed with this game we can never stop playing it.
This game is great, we love it but there is one thing, the last challenges are always so hard that we have to make really good recipes or we will fail but we like the challenges, we like everything about this game, but can you please add more recipes like cupcakes? Anyways, love it.
Okay so we downloaded the game and wanted to get another game made by this company but the problem is as soon as we download the other game the app icon went dark and now we cant delete it or play it. We dont know how to fix it please help.
We like everything but the point is that it is too difficult to level up the products, but in itself it is a perfect app.
Ive been trying to update for a while now and nothings happening, not sure if its an app issue or an Apple issue.
We HATE this bug! When we are logging on it is stuck on the loading screen! So we can hardly ever play the game. We gave it two stars because besides that bug, its a nice game.
We played this game three years ago, and the rediscovery of it made us cry because we are so attached to it, and its a really good game! If we had to play one game for the rest of our life, this would be one of our top ten choices. For a game that isnt huge and expensive (its straight up free), we could okay it for a long time unlike those pick up and play for five minutes and realize its boring. We give this game five stars! (And a heart emoji).
Ive been playing kairosoft games since we were about 11 years old (Im 16 now) and Ive loved them since!! All of their games are cute, unique, and interesting. This game is definitely our favorite out of the ones Ive played, our only complaint is that the full game is so pricey for a shorter and simpler styled game. We really wish one of the restaurant-esque games would be free or at least have the price cut down. ALSO would love if a new game was made.
We enjoyed this game we hope ya add more sweets in future update.
Ive been playing this game for a good 4 years now and its not stopping us!! This is soooooo fun.
We love this! Its addicting, cute, and fun! Youve got a range of sweets to choose from, and they all look so goooood.
We like the game. This game needs to be more popular though.
We have played this game for like 200+ hours! It is the most addicting game and it never gets old. The graphics are so cute! Im also getting this game again and speed running it this time. 10/10 on his game. We think it also deserves more attention! We also love the other game KAIROSOFT made! So please keep up the good work KAIROSOFT.
We have recently got it back a few weeks ago and played fine and it was sooo fun!! Until a glitch happened today and said an error happened as we were making a decorative yule log and we refreshed it and then it had a error saying to report to the developers but we clicked yes and it let us to a part that said send data so we pressed it but every time it loads it kept saying error and we went out of the app to fix our storage because we thought that was the issue, but as we went back to try to fix it it instead reloaded and we cant get our account back we hope you guys could fix that.
We love this game but we found a bug that got rid of all our progress. We were just finishing a dessert when all of a sudden an error notification showed up in Japanese, we dont know Japanese so we were very confused it had a no and yes button underneath it, we didnt know what to do so we clicked yes and the game crashed. We went back onto the game and the error notification showed up again. We were still confused so we clicked no this time and it crashed. We were back to our home screen and the screen glitched and moved around a little then went back to normal. We went back to the game but it crashed multiple times. The last time we went back to the game, it was normal but made us start all over again. Im so confused what should we do.
This game is so addicting and is so fun. We originally had this game 4 years ago and deleted it but somehow we found it again and its the best thing ever.
We love this game so much! We never write reviews but for this we must. This game is like an old classic with a modern twist and it never fails to amaze us. The overall idea of the game is amazing except for a couple of small problems. For one, the rating of the cakes at first is really discouraging and we deleted the app once for it thinking it would never be perfect. Also, at first when you're getting into the game gathering medals and gold is kind of a problem to train and hire staff. We just wish things were a little bit easier instead of scrambling to hold the shop together lol. But in general, amazing game. Love it. Please continue.
Whenever we try to click something on our mobile, it always clicks on a different thing near our desired option please fix this.
To put it simply, we love this game. The sweets, the recipes, and the activities are all very fun. However, Im constantly hearing a strange popping noise while playing the game. Ive checked to see if its our devices case, a software bug, a hardware issue, etc, but we can confirm that we only hear the strange noise from this game. Im not totally sure if this is only happening with us, but its very annoying and we wish for it to be patched soon. Other than that, really awesome game.
If you put a book with like recipes and when you level up you unlock Different recipes thx.
Paying so much to lose a contest makes the game not even worth it. What sane programmer makes it so difficult to win a contest we have sweets not high in calorie a leveled up supplier and still no win. Seriously don't play because it's not even worth it.
We love it like all the other Kairo games… But you cant purchase no ads. We played when it first came out and have deleted it multiple times. And Ill probably keep doing it since you HAVE to watch the ads. At least with the other games you could purchase no ads. Even if it was 9.99 like Heropolis was, Id still pay. Because we like it that much but the ads ruin it completely. Also the inability to use directional buttons like all the previous games makes choosing the ingredients we want hard. Sometimes Ill choose something we were just browsing through with the info in, which also doesnt stay on permanently… It makes us feel really crappy and regret playing this ever. You cant delete it and reinstall it because all the tickets you bought with real money arent tracked in this one. We bought 10 earlier today hoping to remove ads, also you have to delete the game to restart it unlike the other games. And so we wasted money on an app that will stay f2p but never be as good as their regular games. Fail Kairosoft. Out of all of your buyable games we most of them… So we take this as an insult. Ive paid quite a bit for all this games, on android and iOS… Hundred plus dollars all together. But you cant fix a few f2p games.
We love this game. Its a perfect time waster and its totally clean. We love the cute graphics and the fun little cakery. We are the type of person who loves shooting games but we still love devoting our time to a cute, quiet game like this. Nice job.
Our friend told us about this app and we were thinking ugh this is a waste of our GB so we downloaded it to make her happy and then we started to play it everyday SHOUT-OUT TO THE CREATER FOR SUCH AN AWSOME GAME.
Theres super cute characters and it has a good story. We think more people should play these kariosoft games! Im SO addicted.
Title says it all. We have literally downloaded almost every game from kairosoft and we have played about 60% of them to where we are satisfied and we can put them down. This is the first game that we are essentially going for completion, like 100%. In league with Cafe Nipon and The Sushi Spinnery, Cafe Bon Bon offers a lot of room to be creative in how you design your dishes. Where some of the other $5 titles you have limited but structured content. Cafe Bon Bon has a plethora of content with everything from your cooks to suppliers affects your final dessert outcomes. Finding a new dessert or ingredient feels super rewarding and late game there is a level of making desserts to cater to your guests that becomes fun in itself. You want an cool ice cream dessert with kiwi and a cherry on top, great, you want that same ice cream to be spicier, make it with Tabasco and put some cocoa powder on the side, used too much cream, your ice cream just became a panna cotta (look it up) and you just unlocked a new recipe. We seriously cannot explain how good and addicting this was. We learned more about deserts and we started watching Zumbos Just Desserts (t.v. Show) because of this game. Also sorry kairosoft, we have bought all of your games, but we have gotten so close to the end in this one for free. Takes a long time, but all of our desserts are pulling infinities in terms of their taste and aroma and such. The gameplay is bright and colorful and really offers the same charms of all the other kairosoft games. For those of you that get addicted to these simulations as much as we do, well there are some hidden surprises late in the game that will keep you playing. The only negative thing we could say is that the music gets very repetitive. All in all, amazing simulation game. Good job.
We want these game developers to become millionaires the graphics are so adorable and its so entertaining just watching the little people. So much detail was put into this game we wish it would become much much more popular or noticed by apple.
Ive been looking for a game like this! You have your own bakery and staff and can create your own pastries! We love the way its set up. This is a wonderful game.
Entertaining and fun. Add our ID: Friend Request (Bonbon Cakery) Try Bonbon Cakery for iOS and search for the ID "118491802" to find us.
