The pattern of the 4-layer icing is also awkward, which makes them tricky for the players to destroy.

Strategy
Break the blockers. Special candies help speed up the process.
Aside from that, vertical striped candies act as a shortcut to instantly bring down ingredients to the exits (once all icing has been destroyed on the path of striped candies), just like most other ingredient drop levels.
Trivia
Bringing the ingredients down gives the player enough points to meet the target score.
