Cafe World Cook for the Campers Catering Order: Everything you need to know

Before the weather turns too cold, it looks like Zynga wants to get every ounce of fun out of summer and the great outdoors that they can - even in Cafe World. It has released a new catering order in Cafe World called "Cook for the Campers" - or simply "Camping Trip!" if you prefer. The order asks you to do nothing other than simply cook up some delicious goodies for hungry campers, and you'll receive the ultimate in themed dishes if you succeed.

First things first, there are only three cooking tasks for this order, rather than four. That isn't to say this suddenly becomes an easy order, however, but you simply won't have to do as much cooking. As it stands, you'll need to serve Macaroni and Cheese (a two-hour dish) 220 times, Belgian Waffles (a two-hour dish) 180 times and Fish N Chips (a two-hour dish) 100 times. No, you didn't read that incorrectly. All three of these dishes require just two hours to cook, which could be either a blessing or a curse depending on the player. If you're one that can check on your cafe frequently throughout the day, you'll be able to get a lot done in a single day. However, if you can only play Cafe World once or twice a day, you'll have to worry about these dishes spoiling before you can come back to them.

Perhaps now would be a good time to point out that you can bring up to 14 of your Cafe World friends in on this order to help you. Also, remember to use some spices (at least they would only need to be smaller spices, and not any of the "instant" ones), or check your gift box for any extra servings of these dishes before panicking.

In addition to cooking these three meals, you'll also have to collect three items to finish off the order. You'll need six each of Tent Pegs, Marshmallow Sticks and Charcoal Briquettes. This should help you predict the prize you'll receive for finishing this entire order fast enough, as you'll use those Marshmallows in your brand new S'Mores recipe.

The S'Mores recipe, along with 15 Catering Points, 7,500 Cafe Points and 200,000 coins can be yours if you finish within three days earning the three-star rating. If you finish within five days, you'll still receive 10 Catering Points, 5,000 Cafe Points and 125,000 coins, but you won't receive the new recipe. Likewise, the one-star rating is recipe-free, but does allow you to earn 5 Catering Points, 3,000 Cafe Points and 75,000 coins just for finishing the order once the five day time limit has passed.

When everything is said and done, the difficulty of this overall order really comes down to how much time you can dedicate to Cafe World in a single day's time. Either way, we wish you good luck in finishing with the highest rating possible!

What do you think of this camping-themed catering order? Do you like seeing shorter cooking time dishes required, or do you prefer those that take more time to cook, giving you more freedom of when you need to play?

Cafe World Soap Box Supper Catering Order: Everything you need to know

Here's an interesting one: a new Catering Order has launched in Cafe World asking you to help feed a group of racers after their Soap Box Derby race. You'll be there at the finish line waiting, and if you can help these racers out in time, you'll walk away with a free recipe for your efforts.

This particular catering order requires you to serve Tony's Classic Pizza (a five-hour dish) 100 Times, Basil Finger Sandwiches (a six-hour dish) 35 Times, Clubhouse Sandwiches (an 18 hour dish) 20 times and Bacon Cheeseburgers (a five-minute dish) 300 times. Luckily, the Bacon Cheeseburger happens to be the shortest cooking dish and is the one required in the highest quantity. This means that you'll be able to push out dozens of servings in a single sitting in the game, and when you bring up to 14 of your friends in on this order with you, the progress becomes even quicker.

In addition to these cooking tasks, you'll also need to collect 12 Axles and 12 Racing Flags to go along with the Soap Box Derby theme. Both of these sets of items are earned through individual gift requests sent to your friends.

If you can finish all six tasks within the first three days of starting, you'll earn the three-star rating, 15 Catering Points, 7,500 Cafe Points, 200,000 coins and a Fried Chicken Sandwich recipe. Unfortunately, you must complete this order with the three star rating in order to earn the recipe, so feel free to cancel the order and start over if you haven't finished it by that time. If you do decide to push on, however, and can finish before five full days have passed, you'll receive two stars, 10 Catering Points, 5,000 Cafe Points and 125,000 coins. Finally, finishing at any point after those first five days gives you a single star, 5 Catering Points, 3,000 Cafe Points and 75,000 coins.

All in all, this Catering Order doesn't have a time limit in terms of when it must be started, so if you have more time-sensitive tasks to complete in your cafe first, feel free to complete those entirely before coming back and helping these racers.
