Decorate Cake Overview
Decorate Cake was one of those simple Flash games you'd find on a casual gaming site in the 2000s. It didn't have a story or complex levels. You just opened it in your browser and started making a cake. The game had a quiet, unassuming presence among more frantic titles. It was a digital craft project, a few minutes of quiet focus during a school break or a slow afternoon at work.
You control a cursor, clicking through layers of cake, frosting, and decorations. The main objective is straightforward: build a complete cake from a blank slate. You start by selecting a cake base, then add frosting with a click and drag of the mouse. The recognizable mechanics involve layering these elements and then placing final decorations from a sidebar, like sprinkles or candles. The pacing is entirely your own; there's no timer or score to beat. You simply arrange things until they look right. The game feels like a small, personal act of making something orderly and bright.
