How to Play

Slide the cupcakes across a 4 × 4 tray. Two matching cupcakes merge into the next recipe. Every successful move adds a new cupcake. Your first order: bake a Golden Star (64) in 50 moves. Reach the target to complete your order and stop the timer.

Bake to Order

Start with Golden Star, then take the next order: a Winter Wreath (128) in 90 moves, followed by a Santa’s Hat (256) in 170 moves. If an order is unfinished, try it again or undo your last move. The last move can still complete an order. Only moves that change the tray use a step. Undo returns a step but never rewinds the timer. Each mode has its own best score for this visit. Find other orders and Classic 2048 below the Recipe Book. Classic has no move limit and ends at 2048. Switching modes starts a fresh batch. Refreshing returns to the Golden Star order.

Controls

Swipe on the tray on a phone or tablet. On a computer, focus the tray and use the arrow keys. The direction buttons work on every device. Use Undo to take back up to three moves. Music and effects start muted; use the sound button to turn them on. The game timer starts on your first move and pauses while you’re viewing a dialog or the page is in the background.

FAQ

Is 2048 Cupcakes free to play?

What happens after I reach 2048?

In Classic 2048, your batch ends and the timer stops. View your final score and time, make a score poster, or start a new batch.

How do limited-move orders work?

Start with Golden Star: reach 64 in 50 moves. Complete it to take the next order: 128 in 90 moves, then 256 in 170 moves. Only valid moves count. Undo returns a move without rewinding time. The last move can still complete your order. Refreshing starts at Golden Star.

Does Undo count against my move limit in Bake to Order?

No. Using Undo returns one move step back to your allowance so you can correct a mistake. However, the game timer keeps running.

No. Recipe kcal are fictional game points for fun, not nutritional information or health advice.

Can I change the skin?

Christmas is the first available theme. More skins can be added while keeping the same game rules.
