Staking in [Syrup Pools](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/products/syrup-pool) lets you earn CAKE or other tokens while you sleep!

It's simpler than farming with PancakeSwap's Yield Farms because unlike the Farms, you only need to stake **one token** to start earning: usually CAKE.

## **Getting started with Syrup Pool staking**

1\. Go to the Pools page [here](https://pancakeswap.finance/pools).

**IFO CAKE** automatically compounds your rewards: any CAKE you earn will be harvested and re-invested in the same pool for you. You can also earn IFO Credit during the calculation period.

**Auto CAKE** automatically compounds your rewards: any CAKE you earn will be harvested and re-invested in the same pool for you.

**Manual CAKE** doesn’t automatically compound like Auto CAKE. You’ll need to harvest and compound your earnings manually.

Other Syrup Pools let you stake your CAKE to earn dozens of other cool tokens. Make sure you check them out.

5\. Once you choose a pool, click the **Enable** button. Your wallet will ask you to confirm the action.

6\. The Enable button should now be replaced with **Stake**. Click the button to bring up the staking menu.

9\. The Confirm button will change to "Confirming", then once the transaction is successful, you’ll see your staked amount change and the button will change again.

10\. You should now be able to see details on your Syrup Pool. Auto CAKE will show a countdown until the unstaking fee ends. The other pools will show a **Collect** button to claim your staking rewards into your wallet.

### **Adding and removing CAKE from a pool**

You can easily add more CAKE to a Syrup Pool, or move some CAKE to a more profitable pool. Here’s how you can move your staked CAKE.

1\. Click the **-** to take some CAKE out of a pool, or the **+** to add more to the pool.

Please note that unstaking from the Auto CAKE pool has a fee of 0.1% if you unstake within 72 hours.

2\. A window will open. If you clicked the **+**, choose the amount you would like to add to the pool. If you clicked the **-**, choose the amount to take out of the pool.

4\. After a little wait, you'll be able to see your new amount of staked tokens.
