how many cakes?

[Lekim]

Hellow, the archivement secrets cakes, is bug? In total is 3 cakes, no? (Sorry for my bad english, thanks for help )

You'll need to get them all in the same playthrough (I.e., you can't start a new game from each chamber). For some reason I thought I had this as part of the description, but I guess I never updated it. I'll make this more clear.

Really? Getting some of those cakes was particularly annoying, and now I have to do it again?
Although I assume you did it this way because the alternative involves keeping track of cakes in a file, which could be modified by the user to cheat. Am I right?
What if you set a registry variable in some obscure place that noone could find out?

SPOILER WARNING
Also, it's possible to get trapped in the room where the cake is found by activating a blue field thing if you shoot both portals in the room with the blue field thing. Since the cube is pressing the button outside, there is no way to open both doors again.

Damn. So in order to get the achievement, do I have to start from the very beginning or from Chamber 11 (where the first cake is)? Cheers

You can start from chamber 11.

Can't you just walk through the fizzler next to the pair of doors?

Wow. I feel dumb.
Although to be honest I was concentrating on getting the cake and not completing the chamber, so I switched off after finding it.
Also, what's wrong with eating cake on the floor? It does have that yellow plate after all :P

Oh finally I got all the cakes. Thanks for making an annoying achievement :P
Reminds of when I was getting Camera Shy...

This also answers my question. Thank you. But I don´t want to replay. With single playthrough do you mean on one game or can you save the game after two cakes and get the last one the next day if you start at your last save?

Yes, that's still part of the same playthrough.
