What Makes Papa's Cupcakeria HD Stand Out
Bake and decorate delicious cupcakes through all of the fun holidays in Papa's Cupcakeria HD!
— ABOUT THE GAME —
Papa's Cupcakeria has opened in the picturesque town of Frostfield, and you're in charge of baking and decorating cupcakes in the shop! Work your way through all of the holidays of the year, and master all four stations of the restaurant to become a cupcake crafting master.
You'll need to multitask to handle all of the separate areas of the restaurant, and each step is a hands-on process. Choose the correct pan liners and pour just the right amount of gooey batter into each. Slide the pan into the oven and bake them to perfection. Twist and swirl frosting onto the cupcakes, and carefully shake and drizzle the correct toppings onto each. Add festive decorations on top, and serve the delicious cupcakes to your hungry customers!
— GAME FEATURES —
Holidays have arrived on your tablet! As you level up and build a loyal customer fan base, you'll notice the seasons changing all around you, bringing exciting new holidays on a regular basis. You'll unlock a variety of batters, drizzles, shakers, and toppers for each holiday of the year, including some brand-new holidays that weren't included in the classic game! Each customer has a favorite holiday, and will visit the shop to order something special with these holiday ingredients during their favorite season.
Play as James or Willow, or create your own custom character to work in the Cupcakeria! Visit the Shop to find an extensive wardrobe of clothing and accessories for your workers, which you can buy with your hard-earned tips. In this new version of Papa's Cupcakeria, there is also a wide selection of holiday-themed clothing that you can wear to get in the holiday spirit. If your worker is wearing clothing that matches the current holiday, your customers will give you even more tips!
The restaurant also includes a Dining Room where customers can sit and enjoy their freshly-baked cupcakes, and you can hire a Server to help you take their orders. Hire James or Willow as your Server, or create another custom character to staff your restaurant. All of the clothing and accessories you buy in the Shop can be used by both of your workers, so you can coordinate their uniforms or give them each their own style!
The customizable lobby is back, with new themes of furniture and decorations for each holiday of the year! Decorate the restaurant with holiday decorations and your customers won't mind waiting even longer for their food. You can also change the wallpaper, flooring, countertop, and trim, which will change the decor in the Dining Room as well!
Play Foodini's Mini-Games after each workday to earn new clothing for your workers and furniture for your restaurant. Complete all of the levels in each Mini-Game to earn a special Rare Prize with extra points for your lobby decoration score! Complete all of the levels again to earn a second and then a third Rare Prize to complete your collection!

SOOO FUNNN we love this game and the mini games are so fun and this game is really great and never gets harder or boring! Buy Now.
We love this game so much! We love cupcakes and the mini games are the best! We love you so much and we are glad you made this game.we mean taking orders and putting batter in it and baking it and adding decorations on it is so much fun and we will get a new papas game so we will be a master at the papas games and we will be the best player in the world but we will need to ask our mom and dad but we dont think it will go very well but at least we have the cupcake one and that one is so much fun and we will never dleat this game because it is so much fun and if we did not have it we would scream so so so so so so so so so so so so so much for the rest of our life so we are happy that we have it.
This game is so awesome but we have one question do you keep the items you get from The holiday.
This is our first favorite papas game and we really cant stop playing this game on our iPad and we havent been playing this game on our iPad in a while and we are still on rank 200 and our Bestfriend Emma really like this game and when we were in middle school and we used to play this game first on cool math on a computer and we still be playing this game and when we got a iTunes for Christmas for our iPad and we brought this game on our iPad.
Dispite having no specials in this game, this game looks like the computer game just with few changes. We love it! To be honest all HD version looks like the computer just no mouse and slight different changes.
So we just bought almost all the games and its sooo worth the money! Im obsessed Ive never been so in love or addicted to a game before! The only thing is we wish yall would make a sub and cake one too and Ill be set! This is THE BEST and soo addicting.
We have and love all of you games we have all of them HD and to go. We have completed Cupcakeria HD we have all the poster and all that jazz. No rush here but can you pls put the computer games on the iPad and phone. We are so addicted that we are have a birthday party about flip line games. We have been playing for 7 years. Also when is the new game coming out! Thank You so much can you pls respond.
This game is so fun and addicting to lots of ages! You basically make food and then see how you did! We however feel that the game is a bit laggy. Often shuts down and sometimes doesnt save our progress. Its a really good game though, and we totally recommend it.
Hello, we love this game! But can you add a button for someones birthday? And also, make two more mini games called: What were they wearing and And Papas Racing Roadway! Please take our suggestions and respond.
Papas freezeria was our fav papas game but then we beat it. This is the next best thing, if not better. Love the addition of holidays and seasons, it keeps the game interesting. Also, doing the frosting of the cupcakes is v satisfying.
We love this game but the only thing is the price and the timing is off because Im very close to Christmas yet the holiday being celebrated in the game is Valentines Day? Dont know why its doing that or how to fix it but yeah. Still a great game.
Its a great game but two things need to be added in this game, the first thing is you need to bring back baseball season replace cherry blossom festival with baseball season please, and the second thing is add special recipe please update this game please.
We bought this app a while ago and we still play it. We think it was worth it although, we feel like its a little bit easy and never gets harder. Over all we still love the app.
Papas cupcakeeria is awesome and addicting sometimes our game will glitch out and freeze but our cupcakes will still bern but it's still awesome that's why we give it 4 stars.
We got many of these games on our iPad when we were a girl and we loved them. However, once we got a phone we went to download them off of our purchases and they didn't show up. We then checked the App Store and found that it didn't show up there either.
This game is awesome but we wish their was updates also we are about to unlock everything on papas and cant wait for the next one.
So…… Our opinion is that you NEED more people and orders we have papa luoie and Im getting board we have all the games on all the devices but dispite what we said we are addicted to your games we could write a 4 page essay on all your games we deleated every game on all our devices ecsept yours Your friend, FLIPPLINE FAN.
This game has no adds, which is why it makes sense to buy it. The problem is the game never gets more challenging and Im extremely bored of it. Also the game never gets any updates so you only have whats on the game. This game is great for young children or people who like really easy games. You dont need internet so we guess thats a plus. The only problem with the game is it gets pretty boring eventually. We would probably rather sell cupcakes in real life, that would be less predictable and monotonous. It would also be waay more challenging. We suppose no adds and no internet needed is a plus, but this game gets old fast.
Started great and quickly became boring. Once you know how to play the only thing that changes is the season and flavors.
So we just downloaded the game and was having our fun.Soon we unlocked rico!so as we begin cooking his cupcake and get to putting the iceing,our gameplay pauses.Like we couldnt do anything so we delete some photos just incase its our storage but we have a ton of space.So we just close the app then go back in.Still no use it wont work.we switch our internet,we check it,STILL we cant use it!please tell us if its our ipad or not because we just paid for it and im starting to think this is a waste of money and a scam. -confused and sad customer.
Okay..great game but the thingy that makes it faster is useless might as well make one for all the cupcakes because you cant press two at at time please fix it.
Ive been playing Flipline Studios games on our laptop and Im a big fan, we recently discovered that they have mobile versions so we decided to get Papas Cupcakeria HD and we love it. Keep up the great work Matt and Tony.
Our son loves this game and loves it.
Everyone should get this game you gets so many choices and we are at rank 100 so exciting.
We saw a YouTube video on this game and we have watched it so many times that we had to get it! Ever since we got this game we have been super addictive to it! The cupcakes are super yummy looking. This is the most fun and yumalicious game ever! -Tamia Thompson P.S. We know that yumalicious isnt a word. We just made that word up. XD LOL.
Its easy! You just take the order then go to batter station and fill it until the line and bake it! Then frost them put toppings then serve it! And it is loud.
We LOVE Papas Cupcakeria. We play it every day. We love how you can customize your character, as well. However, it lacks a few things. Most of all, it is not HD as stated. Some things are a little blurry and sketchy, but Im guessing this is because it is blown up on our iPad. Sometimes the shakers and sauce bottles freeze, but you just have to shake them a couple of times and they work. We think that this game is great for everyone.
This is our new favorite app on our iPad. We just bought it after looking at the good reviews. Its very addictive from the beginning. We cant wait to see how much harder it gets and the mini games are very fun and we like how theres a variety of them. Thanks to the creators for making this.
Ive seen Papas pasta and sushi (and others) on Pc website, we would LOVEEE to see Papas Pastas on here, or any of them for that matter. Such great games, very entertaining, we love the way its set up and the upgrades you can purchase. Keep the Papas games comin.
This game is the BEST GAME EVER! You guys did so good on it and we love all the toppings and holidays and everything about this game keep it up guys and just do your best.
This game is the best we play it all day without getting bored. We started off playing coolmath games on our comouter at home we relized how slow MY computer was because its very old we wondered if they had an app for it, it turned out they did! We were happy we saw it costed money (which is totally worth it) which made us cringe but when we played it we were so amazed!! Keep on playing papas games.
So dont judge us but this game makes us so hungry we want to fight our face turns red so we go buy cup cakes every day this all started from YouTube so.
This game is so awsome ! You can change seasons.
Love these games. Theyre just like the ones for PC. Our favorite part about Cupcakeria is the frosting station because you can unlock so many different frostings and toppings. When this came out, we couldnt wait to play it. Hoping to see more HD makes in the future (Pastaria?).
This game is so fun! We love all the characters, they're all so cute. Also how you can customize your own character and waiter. We would recommend this game to anyone and everyone, and all the rest of the papa's games.
This game is so amazing because we like cooking games and it's better on mobile devices.
Reporter #1- Aug 29,2017 This app is great! We're super addicted to it. We've only been playing for a week and we're on level 90. One time there was a glitch where it took away 10 of our levels. But Overall, this game is the best !!! ( p.s. It is worth your money).
We loved papa's games since we were 5 years old. We played in laptop but the stations were different in coolmath or kizi site. We suggest you download this game.
This app is one of the best apps ever. You should play this game it is so fun. It has the stuff like on the computer. It does not freeze or nothing. Please try to get this app. If you don't want to pay on the other device you can play on this website that is named kizi or just type up papa's games and it will show a bunch of games. Overall it is so fun and we have a great time playing this game.
These Papa's games aren't like the other cooking games! For one you get to play many levels and can actually win without having to pay out of pocket every 10 seconds!!! The other games on the App Store just steal your money! This game is fun and entertaining.
All the games are great, and we think you should add papas Bakeoria (idk how to spell it) to mobile.
We LOVE this game they should make more games like this.
We used to play these kinds of games on the computer, and now they're in the app store? This is amazing! How about adding the other ones. Like hotdoggeria, pastaria, pancakeria, donutria, even the first pizzeria. That'll be awesome. Maybe even make all of them and put it in a pack. That'll be cool to.
Omg we just hit rank 100!!!! We're so happy about this game!! It would be really cool if at rank 100 you could create your own customers or hire someone else to be the baker and have yourself as a customer! Then you could create your own custom ticket! Thank you Flipline Studios for all of your papa's games.
This is an amazing game, you have to get it! It has a nice animation and it's super fun to play! Flipline Studios has created our favorite game.
We love it you guys should make the rest of them.
This is a fun awesome game. You get to decorate your own lobby. And really all we want to say it is a very fun, unique game.
We used to play this on computer, now we can play it on the go plus it has more games and more prizes on the contests than any other papa games.
We really like this game we love the details on this game whenever we are going to go on a road trip we always play this app, totally worth our money.
Ok so we love this game, its great. But it never gets harder. Honestly it only gets easier. We have deleted this game once and just redownloaded it. Nothing changes really besides the occasional season|holiday and rare ingredient. Also the building station on the iPad is impossible to get the frosting right. When it looks good we dont get a good score and when it looks okay we get a decent score. Anyways, this game definitely needs to be updated. We really love it but Im getting bored like we did before. No one seems to be actively updating it.
