Cakes!

Players run a busy bakery and compete to build the tallest, ten-layer cake by stacking components on a tray balanced in one hand. On each turn players draw sponge and frosting cards and add the prescribed number of layers to their personal stack to fulfill incoming order cards; balance matters because stacks can collapse. The game ends when a player completes a stable ten-layer cake and rings the bell or when the order deck is exhausted, at which point players score points from fulfilled orders. Players can pursue fast, risky stacking or slower, cautious construction to win.
