Cupcakes are blockers in Candy Crush Soda Saga. They are first introduced in Episode 2, Lollipop Meadow, at Level 9. There are five layers of cupcakes. Their appearances depend on the progress of making a cupcake. The more completeness, the more layers. The number of layers is positively related to how hard it is to clear the cupcakes.
A cupcake occupies one square and is stuck until cleared. It can be broken by making adjacent matches or any special candy's effects reaching the cupcakes. This procedure must be repeated as many times as there are more layers.
Destroying the last cupcake layer will give you 20 points (score will not be displayed). If it is destroyed via a Special, it will give to you 60 points.
