The story aspect of the game is criticized for being a mere imitation of the original "Cake Shop: Bakery Chef Story," with the developer, indiegames3000, accused of repackaging a Unity asset without adding any original content or depth. As a result, the narrative lacks merit and fails to provide a meaningful gaming experience.
- “After reading the other reviews and playing the game myself, my conclusion is: this game is a knock-off of the app 'Cake Shop: Bakery Chef Story.'”
- “The developer, indiegames3000, took the 'Cake Shop: Bakery Chef Story' Unity store tutorial/demo/game asset pack from the real developers, Ketchap, changed the name, and dumped the result onto Steam.”
- “In this case, 'Cake Shop: Bakery Chef Story' is just a deprecated Unity asset for making a cake shop mobile app, and doesn't have any merit as a proper, fully fledged PC game, so this copy-paste of it can't be recommended.”
