Tips & Strategies

  • 1

    Push the ingredients to the side

    The ingredients in this board will drop down from the ingredients dispensers. The problem? They are dropped into columns that don't have exit points. In means in this level, you'll need to move the candies. Your best approach is trying to move them both to one side and then work on taking down one cake. Localizing your moves is going to increase your chances of passing this difficult level!

  • 2

    Form color bombs

    The shape of this board makes it surprisingly easy to form color bombs. To take out the cakes and to bring down ingredients (and unlock the marmalade striped candies), try forming as many color bombs as you can. Even if you can only eliminate one color from your board, this will open up opportunities to activate the marmalade locked candies and it will make the probability for forming striped candies greater.

  • 3

    Clear at least one cake

    In order to get to the green arrows (two are under each cake), you'll need to clear them. The easiest way is to form a succession of vertical striped candies. A wrapped candy + striped candy combination could be very useful at this point as well.

\"Push the ingredients to the side!\" Fuck yeah, most of the times I can't move those fucking fruits even one lane sideways (what a stupid tip suggesting this would be an easy task). Fuck this goddamned motherfucking level

Completed in 10 games!! Easy once you move the ingredients!! Not a HARD level at all!!

Let me see if I got this right. Your tips make it sound so easy. All I have to do is move both ingredients to one side of the board right??!!! Piece of cake. Shouldn't take more than 5 or 6 moves right??!!! Then break the cake under the ingredients and move them off the board. That's brilliant!!! It's practically impossible but brilliant. Thanks for the wisdom.

Finally!!! It took me a while, but I got through by pushing the ingredients to one side. I also got two chocolate candys and stripe combos. Good luck! The next level is more fun!

What happens when one of the fruits goes missing? It's happened to me twice and I could not finish the game.

Took me months to beat this level so far the hardest level. Almost took it off my phone. I passed it in 60 moves though. Had to use gold. Was so close.

Same here! I think this level is glitchy. In my case, the ingredients disappeared after activating two separate colour bombs.

This one's impossible. Just watch t.v. or read until the 72 hours are up and the Tooth Fairy lets you proceed in normal Candy Crush.

Not sure what is going on, I have smashed both cakes with over 30 moves left, several times, only to have my ingredients disappear!!! They do not come back!!!

Passed this level on the third go, amazed myself as I thought I'd be stuck on it for ages. You just have to keep matching candies and hope for a chance to swap the ingredients over to the sides of the board.

Stupid board design to waste hundreds of specials and rack up lots of extra moves purchased. The true strategy for this board is to go in every morning and spin the wheel and not bother to even play the game until you have earned enough free swapping hands built up (at least four or five). And then when you do have enough, don't use them to move your candies into alignment until you have successfully opened up the bottoms. Not having to waste the majority of your moves trying to align the ingredients first should make this a snap. And if you don't clear out the bottoms with enough moves left to get the candies down, save your swappies for another attempt... Not going anywhere for a while? Eat a snickers.. This could take a long time to get enough free swappies to do it but it should work fine. Either that or break out that card and just buy them.

3 attempts and it was done. It doesn't seem difficult at all.

It is an annoying level

Usually when levels like this frustrate me I play my fiance game and she plays mine. She's on level 733, I beat for her today level 728,729,730,731,732, all without losing a life and she can't pass this level for me. I've played about 100 games... Every 20 levels or so you get \"what seems like\" a impossible level to pass. I hate this level... Lmao... Eventually after several hundred tries the game feels sorry for you and candies fall in place. The hardest part is moving the ingredients. I know you are supposed to place two alike candies on top of the ingredient and in the next column a alike candy so you can move them. But that hasn't worked because the candies fall completely out of order. I'll play this level 5 times a day total and wait for the candies to fall in place on their own.

This isn't a Dreamworld level. However, some layouts do show up again in later levels of Dreamworld...same objective, only with the &$%@* owl to further complicate the level.
