Show off your Bakery - Thread 2

[AnnirasSweets]

I've been playing since 2010 and finally have raked up the courage to share my Bakery. The bakeries are all so beautiful that it's a bit intimidating! My place has undergone some major changes lately but (hopefully) I'm finally happy with it again.

In all my years of playing, I've always used the same floor plan. I would divide my Bakery into equal squares, and decorate each square with matching items and all the squares together matched an overall theme. Lately though, I've been trying to save up for the really expensive expansion and was having trouble keeping my coins up which is a new problem for me. After lots of thinking and forum reading I figured out it was mainly due to the heavy goal purchases and not enough time to recuperate in between the goals. Looked into ways to adjust my coin intake and came across the old threads on layouts and decided it wouldn't hurt anything to try it out. I went with what the thread called "Narrow T" layout and was pleasantly surprised to see that my counters now clear each night and I'm steadily building up for that expansion. Problem was, after all those years of re-decorating the same layout (I redecorate every month) I was frazzled at the concept of decorating this new one but I think I'm happy with the results.

An example of my original floor plan - Fall theme from Sept last year:





The new floor plan - Jewel theme which is current:





As you can see, I didn't totally lose the habit of dividing up the larger space but maybe I'll outgrow this need in time? Only real worry I have now is whether or not I'll be able decorate for the holidays to my liking within this new layout.

Thanks so much. One of the main reasons I play the s8 games is because I'm a collector at heart. I love collecting all the items and figuring out new ways to display them so it's always nice when someone likes my efforts.

I really like decorating myself, and I always love to visit other creative bakeries and redecorate my own. I have really good designs I'd love to do in my bakery but I am think its not big enough to do them. Wish expansions didn't cost so much. Haha, I want to collect all of the decorations too, but unfortunately as I have only been playing for 1 and a half years most of them are still locked. I really love jewels and diamonds and your bakery is really appealing to me. Thanks for sharing
