Hey everyone!

Last night it seems like some players experienced their Bake-A-Cake event suddenly disappearing from their game. We'd like to let you know that we're on the case and investigating the issue to fix it as soon as possible.

If this happened to you, please let us know the following details:

Thank you for your patience as we look into this! 🙇

    Een verandering die denk ik heel bewust is doorgevoerd. Je kan sinds taart bakken via “activiteiten” opgestart moet worden nog maar 1 x per zoveel uur aan een nieuwe taart starten. Zware achteruitgang! Als je alle reguliere levels af hebt zoals ik, valt er dus niets meer te spelen.

    They usually show up for me on Thursdays, didn't get one today. I suppose I go booted from that too.

    It’s since you have to start “bake a cake” via activities. You can’t play as much as you want anymore; they put a time slot on it. So if you finished all the regulier levels (like me) you can’t play anymore. It’s a big decline of the game.

    AAww. I only have 5 levels left so I guess I'm booted from everything. Time to find a new game. Crazy. Not very good customer service. Eventually I guess everyone will be gone.

    True, time to find something new. It’s a pity but nothing to play here anymore.

    Hey there, we added some information in the start of this thread now! It seems like some players lost their Bake-A-Cake event as it was active yesterday - we're currently looking into it.

    Tagging others in this thread as well for visibility!

    As for the question regarding not having enough events when players are at the end of the levels, the studio is also aware of this - and hopefully we'll see some improvements to this scenario this year as the team does have big plans for Soda. 🤗

    If you have the Pink Door at the end of the levels, you should be able to participate in more and more events as well - as you get to play a random level to help you earn rewards!

    Don't worry!

    According to the official announcement:

    "The Bake a Cake is a feature in Soda that's not available for all players at all times. Sometimes the bakery will be closed to make room for other features,i.e. Bake a Cake go missing means that the feature is not currently available, this can be either due to it taking a break in your game or that your team has already finished baking the cake.

    We understand this might feel a little bit like your teammate got an extra slice of cake while you're waiting for your turn, but at the moment, that's how it works."

    This incident has happened to many players over one year. You will get used to this later.

    Well here are my print screens for this. This has been my go to game instead of the other 3 candy crush games but to open the game and see the images below is not making me happy at all.

    This was on Windows 11, my desktop.

    So it looks like I might be a tester but who knows? It's telling me to to to the "Activities' area to play.

    So here is the activities. When I opened the game this morning it said "claim" the rewards. So I opened that and saw the cake and the rewards come in. The print screen above was just taken a few minutes ago so that's why it's not showing the claim anymore.

    This print screen, just taken on my desktop, says that I asked my team for lives and 3 team members said they sent them to me. I never asked for lives! I can't even type to let them know that I never wrote that because the ask button is grayed out!

    Why oh why do these studios always feel the need to move things and change things? Lucky that I saw the message to go to the activities area so that's a plus for the studio.

    When I opened the game on my iPhone a while ago it's still the old way of opening it. Unfortunately, the "News" button is grayed out so I can't even type my team telling them that I never asked for lives. It does show on my phone that I asked and they sent them to me.

    Device - Apple iPhone - my device was updated last night to the latest version 18.2.1

    Latest version of game 1284.4 on mobile and also on Windows 11

    Please Kingsters, I really love playing your game but if I'm a tester, then please make sure that the testing stops for me. If it's a glitch because you decided to move it to the activities then I ask Why?

    I know that @LoFiGummy is now gone and won't be returning until Monday so I'll bring in my daily reward and check if I can continue to play the cake. Guess it will be a quiet game weekend for me.

Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?
