Dinner has been served and now it is time for dessert! New orders come in for delicious cakes, tasty pies and exquisite ice-creams. However, preparing a dessert properly and on time requires even more attention than a regular order and is definitely no piece of cake. Piece of Cake, an expansion for Kitchen Rush, adds a new type of order with desserts, ice-cream mini-orders, two new ingredients (crème and fruit with custom-shaped wooden tokens), and a new type of token (ice cream scoops). An extension to the game's board introduces additional actions for the players, and there is also a 60" hourglass for a specialist worker who can perform improved versions of the available actions. —description from the designer
