To find how many cakes Caeli sold, we can set up an equation based on the information provided.

1. She earns a fixed amount of 350 dollars per week.
2. She also earns an additional 5 dollars per cake sold.
3. Her total earnings for the week were 630 dollars.

Let $ x $ represent the number of cakes Caeli sold. The equation will be:

\[
350 + 5x = 630
\]

### Solving for $ x $:
\[
5x = 630 - 350
\]
\[
5x = 280
\]
\[
x = \frac{280}{5}
\]
\[
x = 56
\]

So, Caeli sold 56 cakes.
