Most have undoubtedly heard of Bejeweled or Peggle, as these are both series that have crossed over and found a good deal of mainstream appeal. Cake Mania is a lesser-known entity but is still a franchise that has seen a bit of success beyond an average casual title. Thus sequels have been spawned, and now we find ourselves at the third installment. Cake Mania 3 manages to be addictive and entertaining for a while, but sadly, the game is a bit of a one-trick pony, and it likely won't be long before you toss it aside in favor of a meatier title."
GameZone writes: "I'm a sucker for games like Diner Dash, Sally's Salon and even Burger Island that are fun in quick bursts when you want to kill some time whether it's on your PC or - even better - your Nintendo DS. Let's face it, these games were made for a handheld with touch-screen capabilities but seldom are they good for long stretches of gaming goodness. Cake Mania 3 is the third game in the series but it does very little to keep the fun going before you realize that it just gets way too repetitive."
