Candy Crush Saga Level 5490 Tips and video

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 5490 Candy Crush Saga without boosters by Cookie 
Level 5490 Candy Crush Saga is an ingredients level, you have to collect 4 ingredients to complete the level. The 2 cherries are on the board at the start of the game and there is no need to clear the cakes to collect them, the cherries will drop diagonally through the gaps between the cakes and get to the exits without clearing the cakes.
However in order to get the nuts to drop onto the board you need to clear the cake on the top left of the board. Work in the bottom left section as much as possible to make stripes and stripe/wrap combos which you can use to clear the cake sections. The nuts will only drop one at a time so you need to get the first one off the board quickly. It may be that you clear two cakes at the same time and this will collect the first nut. You may not have many moves left to collect the nuts, but you don't need many, a vertical stripe will collect each one in one move.

If the level you play is different from the one here it is because the developers have changed it since I played and I have no control over this. Please let me know on our FB group and I will try to change it.

Lucky board please-----this level is complicated---too hard with NO boosters & fewer MOVES. Once again CC KING screws the players to make MONEY-----SO UNFAIR. Big cheaters.
Thanks COOKIE for the tips--
