Papa's Cupcakeria is a game in the Papa Louie series. It's the eighth cooking simulator game (aka "Gameria") in the series, and is the sequel to Papa's Hot Doggeria. It involves making cupcakes for the various customers that visit the establishment.
Plot[]
Papa Louie and Roy have just gotten their newest restaurant, Papa's Cupcakeria, approved for business by Mayor Mallow, the mayor of the snowy mountain town of Frostfield. After leaving the mayor's office and beginning the drive home, another car hits them from behind as they stop at a stop sign. Roy gets out, examines the damage, and angrily taps on the other car's window, which rolls down to reveal James/Willow/Custom Worker (depending on who you chose to play as) smiling sheepishly.
He/she tries to apologize, but Roy is still angry about the accident and demands immediate payment. Unfortunately, James/Willow/Custom Worker doesn't have any money on him/her, infuriating Roy even more. Just as Roy is about to have a total meltdown, Papa Louie steps up to deescalate the situation. He gives Roy some money to pay for the car's repairs, and then offers James/Willow/Custom Worker a job at the Cupcakeria in order to help pay the expenses. Taking Roy's Cupcakeria hat and placing it on James/Willow/Custom Worker's head, Papa Louie officially designates him/her as the Cupcakeria's worker, much to his/her dismay.
Gameplay[]
In this game you play as one of the Cupcakeria's employees as they spend their days working at the establishment. When creating a new save file, you can choose to play as either James, Willow, or Custom Worker - Custom Worker is a fully customizable character that you can style to your liking by choosing the character's body type, skin and hair color, and clothing. Each level constitutes one day of business at the Cupcakeria. During a day, a number of customers come in and place orders for cupcakes, and your objective is to create the food to their specifications. This is done through four different stations: one for taking orders and three for making the cupcakes. When a cupcake is completed and sent to a customer, the customer will judge the food based on how long they had to wait for it and how accurately the food matches their order, and give a corresponding score. If a customer gives a high score, they will also give you a tip, along with up to three minigame tickets.
The points you get from customer scores give you XP that goes towards achieving a higher rank, allowing you to advance through the game and unlock more of its content, granting you access to more ingredients and attracting new customers to the establishment. Additionally, this game also introduces seasons and holidays; as you climb through the game's ranks, the game will advance through the months of the year, each one represented by a different holiday. Each holiday has its own set of special holiday toppings that are only available during that respective holiday. Certain customers favor a specific holiday and are more likely to order holiday-exclusive ingredients while their favorite holiday is active.
Meanwhile, the tips can be used to buy decorations for your lobby and upgrades to make it easier to make the food. However, said decorations have a value called freshness; a decoration's freshness slowly goes down the longer it's left in the lobby, making it slowly become less effective over time - this makes it important to switch up your decorations every once in a while so you can keep getting maximum bonuses from them. Meanwhile, the minigame tickets are used to access and play minigames of varying nature after each day; these minigames give various rewards including extra tips and new furniture if you win them.
The ultimate goal of the game is to reach a high enough rank to unlock everything. Aside from customers, there are two other ways to earn tips: weekly paydays and badges. Paydays give you a large amount of tips once every seven days, and badges are in-game achievements that give you a small tip once completed.
In addition to earning tips and points, doing well on a customer's order also gives the customer a star. When a customer gets five stars, they get a Customer Medal that causes them to give you higher tips when you do well. The medal gets upgraded every five stars; the first medal customers obtain is the Bronze Medal, then the Silver Medal, and finally the Gold Medal.
Aside from normal customers, you also have to contend with Closers; the Closers are a group of seven customers that are more picky about their food than normal customers, and will judge you more harshly when critiquing the food you give them. One Closer always appears as the last customer of each day (except for Day 1), and unlike normal customers, they don't appear randomly; each Closer is tied to one day of the week. On Sundays, the most judgemental Closer of all, Jojo the Food Critic, will visit the Cupcakeria. His scoring is even harsher than the other six Closers', and unlike any other customer in the game, he orders something completely different every time he visits. If you serve him well, Jojo will reward you with a Blue Ribbon award; the Blue Ribbon stays on your counter for the next three days, causing customers to give you higher tips during that time. Also worth noting is that in this game, each of the Closers favors all of the holidays.

Minigames[]
- Pizza Pachinko: Your task is to drop a metal ball from the top of the screen into a field of pizza-themed obstacles in hopes of it landing in the center hole; if it lands in the center hole, you win. The placement of the obstacles gets trickier the more times you win this game.
- Saucy Shot: Burger-themed food monsters run and fly across the screen, and you have to shoot as many of them as you can using a bottle of BBQ Sauce before time runs out. If you shoot enough of the enemies by the time the game ends, you win.
- Strike Out!: You play as a pitcher in a baseball game, and your goal is to throw baseballs to strike out the batter. A diagram will appear, featuring a stationary red line representing the batter's bat and a moving yellow circle that represents your ball. To strike out the batter, you have to click when the ball in the diagram isn't touching the bat, which results in the batter missing. Do this three times to win the game.
- Hallway Hunt: You're shown four customers, each one standing in front of a door. You're then assigned a customer, and the screen goes completely black with only the customers' eyes being illuminated. The eyes will move around for a short while, leaving it up to you to keep track of which pair of eyes is your customer's. After this, the screen lights back up with all four customers hiding behind a door, and you have to pick one of the doors. If you pick the door your assigned customer was hiding behind, you win. The blackout gets more challenging the more times you win this game; extra pairs of eyes will start entering the screen to confuse you.
- Spin n' Sauce: You're tasked with spinning a wheel featuring many different sauces, and the goal is to have it land on the Foodini Sauce space. This can be accomplished by simply spinning the wheel when your power level is at the highest point.
- Blender Ball: Your task is to roll a ball of cookie dough onto a board with several holes. Choosing the appropriate level of power, you have to try to get the ball into the small hole with a star symbol above it; if you do, you win.
- Mitch's Mess: Your task is to search Mitch's extremely messy room for a few items displayed at the bottom of the screen before the time runs out. If time runs out or you click on the wrong item three times, you lose. The number of items increases the more times you win this game.
