By holding the "down" button and then doing just an "okay" job flying the king, you can get the medium badge on the first try super easily. Don't worry if you only have about 30,000 points after the "timer" runs out. The king will fly and eat the cakes, and if you're accurate enough, you can get to 40,000 fairly quickly.

Dear King of Cakeland,
Though has proven to be a most....interesting job, I find it a waste of my magical capabilities to merely make cakes stack so you can eat them. I've used most of my mana (magical energy, my lord), and now find even finding my spellbooks taxes much of my strength. In addition- no 3 second cameo in the game even? This lack of attention and waste of my powers and talent are just too much to bear. Have fun stacking cakes yourself.
Sincerely,
Merlin
Former Court Magician of King James of Cakeland
P.S. One of the batches of cakes has been poisoned. Guess which one and you might live.

You don't even have to mash the down button, you can just hold it, goes even faster. Great game, easy to break though.

For the badge of the day just spam cakes, you'll get around 30k points just from placing them down, and another 30k from eating em

There are multiple perks you can buy. I would give all of them, and be fine with paying 5000 coins, just for a "no muffins" perk instead.

Dont bash the down key, hold it. You'll drop the cakes faster than ever plus I got 40k points before launching the king.

So, when I posted on the forums that I was going to add a new medium badge to Pel for the 5-Minute Games quest, what I really meant was that I'd be adding a new medium badge to Feed the King and not including Pel in this quest at all. So, yeah, sorry about the messaging/planning with that. My fault! But this game is awesome, and it needed to be a part of the 5-Minute Games quest, and the easy badge is trivial while the hard badge is pretty hard. And this game had room for one more badge anyway, so here it is -- enjoy!

Best baker in the world: Not only can he hold a gigantic stack of cakes with ONE HAND, he also keeps a mostly straight face as he watches the king climb the stack, knowing that the king will fall back down and make the funniest noise ever when he hits the ground. (Too bad we don't get to hear it...)

advance on the tips for the medium badge. you don't need to mash the down button - just hold it down the entire time!

After getting the hard badge, I thought I'd give my own tip, because it was difficult for me until I realized this. Ignore the advice the game gives about not getting as high a score just because you stack higher. Take your time, going as straight up as you can, tilting the cakes whenever there's a bomb for you to avoid. I also highly recommend getting the heart upgrade for when you do this. :) Making it straight makes it very easy to eat all of your cake afterwards without missing any, and keeps you from screwing up and missing your cake.

FGS. Yeah, like others are saying, for time mode: holding down the "down" key gets the job done. I smashed my "manual" hard-earned score of 41K with an automatic-ish 52K. Slightly broken lol.

I like to think this is a very happy kingdom with very happy people that have literally (and I'm not misusing the term) no worries in the world. They all aspire to be something great and they all achieve their goals. But let's be real. We all know who's paying for the cakes that feed this sin of gluttony.

Look at the baker's expression when the king is about to get flung. Depending on how many cakes you've balanced, it'll change.

if you're going for the hard badge, you get more points from eating many cakes in a row than from stacking them and getting bonuses . at least I think :P

For those going for the hard badge, I would suggest a hybrid of LockeDreams and jasonjie88's advice: Go as straight up as possible (to maximize points from the cake eating part), but be pretty aggressive around bombs. It's possible to get 3 dangerous bonuses per bomb + some edge bonuses, which help out a lot. Got the hard badge after just 5 tries with this method.
