Top Cake

You are an aspiring hotelier getting ready to exhibit at the industry’s leading luxury trade show. Whispered rumours have reached you that Des Erttrolley, the notorious cake critic, will be attending and judging the confectionary on offer at each stand. You realise that your bowl of mints isn’t going to cut it. You want a slice of the real action. At the last minute, you dash to the cake auction to bag a few bargains. To save time, stack layers as you win them and stop your multi-tiered, gravity-defying showstoppers from collapsing prior to judging.

Fox and out-bid your competitors to win layers of cake in each round of bidding. Stack your cakes as you win them. At the end of the game, the more impressive each cake stack, the more points you’ll get during judging. Win extra points for stacking matching layers and for crowning your creations with a fabulous topper.
