    * As you level up you will unlock more recipes that increase in cost and the amount they will make for you during different time amounts.

    * Note that each recipe has a cost to make and takes a certain amount to bake.

    * Be sure to read how long each item takes and make sure you can be there to decorate and serve it on time or it will spoil.
    * You have the option to use Quick Bake Dollars to reverse the spoiling but it is very expensive and usually not worth it unless you have many dollars saved up or purchased.
