Candy Crush Cake Bomb Blocker

by

The Cake Bomb blocker in Candy Crush Saga takes up 4 squares on the board and is the hardest to clear out of any blocker in the game. The Cake Bomb can take anywhere from one up to eight hits in order to clear off the board.

Making matches next to the Candy Crush cake will begin to break off pieces one at a time. Hitting the cake with special candies or special candy combinations can clear up to four pieces of cake at a time. There are eight pieces of cake that must be cleared, two pieces in each quadrant.

Once all eight pieces of the Candy Crush Cake Bomb blocker are cleared, a pink party popper will appear and wipe all the existing candies and blockers off of the board. If the blockers have more than one layer, the pink party popper will clear one layer off of those blockers. This is a great way to clear your board when you do not have any good matches to make. However, all of your special candies will also be removed before they are activated. So you might want to wait to clear the whole Cake Bomb until you have used all your special candies to your advantage.

In terms of the points you can earn from Cake Bombs, you will not gain points for breaking off slices of cake. The only points you can get from clearing the Cake depends on the candies that are cleared from the pink party popper.

Candy Crush Cake Bomb Tips

  • Use special candy combos to remove several slices of the cake at once (striped + wrapped, color bomb + striped, wrapped + wrapped).
  • Clear the cake bombs as soon as possible in jelly levels, because they usually will have jelly underneath them.
  • When the cake bomb is cleared all your special candies will be cleared off the board. Make sure to remove the cake bomb at the opportune moment so that you do not lose valuable special candies.

Candy Crush Licorice Swirl Blocker

What is a Licorice Swirl?
licorice-swirls

A licorice swirl (or block) is a blocker in Candy Crush Saga. This blocker is a bit unique in its characteristics–while it takes up space on the board, it has no color and cannot contain a candy.  A licorice swirl, like a candy bomb, are moveable. This means you can switch a candy with a licorice swirl to make a move.

Even once you’ve cleared all the licorice from your board, more can fall from the top if you clear candies. In certain levels, only one or two will fall, in others, entire columns.

Licorice swirls are first introduced in level 81.

How to Clear Licorice Swirls

Licorice swirls are  easy to clear by making moves adjacent to them.

However, they can absorb special candy effects. This means that if you formed a striped candy and activated it next to a licorice swirl, the swirl would clear but not the row. Essentially, they block most special candy combinations. The bonus is that a licorice swirl can prevent chocolate blockers from spreading.

Since a licorice swirl does not have a color, lining up three or more of them in a row does not clear them either. They can only be cleared by other candies.

There are two special candy combinations that can knock out licorice and not be absorbed in the process–a color bomb + color bomb and a wrapped candy + wrapped candy.

What is a Candy Bomb?

A candy bomb is a blocker which must be cleared in a set amount of moves. It is not to be confused with a color bomb. The number on the inside of the candy bomb corresponds to the number of moves you have to clear the bomb before it explodes. When a candy bomb explodes, the turn ends and you lose a life. For $1.99, you can buy a Candy Bomb diffuser to earn 5 more moves to clear the bomb.

In levels, even when all candy bombs are cleared on the board, new ones can drop down. Candy bombs can also be contained in other blockers, like licorice Xs.

Candy Bombs first appear in level 96 and the amount of moves you get can greatly vary (from 50 in level 470 to 3 in level 275).  Every cleared candy bomb earns you 3,000 points.

If your board runs out of moves and the pieces are shuffled, the candy bombs will not be shuffled. However, you can move a color bomb to make other combinations, they are not stationary.

How Do I Clear a Candy Bomb?

A candy bomb is colored like normal candies. This means there are two ways to clear the candy bombs.

  1. Through 3-candy combination or a special candy combination.
  2. A candy bomb can also be cleared if it is affected by a special candy being activated.


A candy bomb can also be cleared by another blocker–you will not have to clear a candy bomb if it is absorbed by a piece of chocolate.

Beginning in level 261, there are candy canons that can produce bombs.
