The Gold Elegance Wallpaper could've been so much better. Wish the right side would connect to the left side instead of this with the gold line in-between 70136

Agreed! I had such high hopes when I saw it - it would go perfectly with the 1920s box items and the other Art Deco pieces we've gotten over the years. I was pretty sad to see it didn't line up properly so I'll never get to use it :(

[DawnLovesDD]

I am not doing this goal as many others aren't. I don't want anything to do with Met Gala, Celebrities, Hollywood, or California.

[QuinnqueenL]

Can we get a picture of the main goal appliance and recipes?

I've updated the first post with all of the images I currently have. Images for the second appliance recipes won't be posted until another player gets there and shares them which is typically a few days after the goal starts.

[fluffyfoot]

Skipping main goal. The main prize and other things we need to buy (check in desk and red carpet interview) aren’t worth the time for me. I used to do every goal no matter what because it’s the only way to get new ovens and recipes. They are just too time consuming now to bother with if I don’t care for the prizes. The only thing I will miss is not getting the bonus recipe. I know at this point it won’t happen, but would love to have more time for goals AND NOT 3 AT ONCE!

Same. Skipping a lot of goals lately. Not worth my time and my money.

You can skip the goal and pay 99 gems to get the Loretta oven recipe.

My main thing with this goal are the prizes! I get the elegance of red carpet and paparazzi, but this is a BAKERY game, wish they came out with better looking prizes related to the 1920's box!! Goals should be related to ANY bakery cafe style!! Like the London Goal, it would have been nice to get some tea inspired displays instead of guards and stacked busses :/
Sorry to say it makes it not worth doing! But the recipes were! 🤷🏻*♀️

wish they would give up the 3 tiered display, it makes the recipes so tiny the details are lost, but in this case it doesn't really matter since it's just another boring beige recipe 😴 I do like how it looks being served, just wish they would add some color and excitement to all the recipes so i don't have an ocean of colorless bland recipes 🤦🏻*♀️

agreed, hope it would only have 2 tiered display so we could see the recipe more clearly, it's too small now

[peas2001]

Can we get better Final Goal Prizes please. Prizes like the Venetian Boat, French Cafe, Tower of Love, and Butterfly Garden were much, much better than the prizes we've been getting lately.

i was hoping they would do a black and gold cake to match the rest of the theme but i actually think this cake is really pretty and i like the flowers and column design. would like more column cakes in the future but maybe have it tiered without the second small plate and just as one continuous cake :3

I agree the 2nd plate looks a bit out of place, but overall it's a cute recipe!

is there any follow up on these issues? do we have to reinstall the app to see the changes? is there any changes at all? the goal is almost over, thanks.

The issues have been flagged over and the team is still working on fixes. Mods/CMs/Staff will update the thread when an update has been issued. These issues should not be affecting anyone's ability to complete the goals.

[Meowmeowbeans]

The visual issue with the wallpaper should be resolved now. The table and chairs as well should be more aligned with this theme than they were previously, but it will take a reinstall to see these changes.

Thanks - I just reinstalled and the changes are for real this time. It's noticeable in the inventory images but obviously more pronounced when the items are placed.

EDIT: I've added before and after images below the break in this post.

This way players can see the differences and decide if they like the newer versions enough for a reinstall or if they'd like to keep the old ones.
