Do some delicious window shopping at the Italian Pastry Display in Bakery Story!

[melby29]

CUUUTE! I have already made my little spot for these ones.... unless they cost gems. Blah.

[LalaSmooth]

I don't like the top one but the bottom one is nicer... When will you bring out autumn dishes and themes?

[daisoo]

Aw, the Gelato display is adorable <3. Hopefully it's for coins, but I won't be surprised if it costs gems.

[xoxjenn]

Looks like an Italian theme next.

[creamypuff]

Cute! I'll take the top one! Not sure about the display case...

[thatgirl444]

Wow..I like these..yay..Italian theme...wish it was for RS instead though

[minidemon88]

I'm so excited for this week update!

[amygdane]

Oh my gosh item prices have doubled today! Is this part of this weeks update too or a glitch?

[kieranyeow]

Italian But Not Mid Autumn....
How Mid Autumn Theme Will Release And Bring Back The Truffle Chair
I ❤ The Truffle Chair So Much~!!!

[ksskss]

Yesyesyes i would like italian theme :)

[Potatocat]

Omg adorable!!!!!

[ashrb]

I think it's nice to see an Italian theme since they have done French, Oriental, etc. I know a lot of folks don't like the color of the gelato shop, but considering it's an Italian theme I get why they chose the color and thankfully the color doesn't bother me. Fingers and toes crossed we get new recipes and perhaps coin content!

[bakerbarbie12]

Nice, big items for coins and not gems? HAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAHHAHHHA HAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA hilarious!

[Eric1343]

[caesarslaw]

neohhhh bring back the candy theme! haha i will miss thy cute, pastel candy theme :)

[yagd]

The weekly update is here, they changed the Gelato display, I like too and is 30 Gems ... good !!! I will get it soon

[thomaaas]

Update is here, no new oven but the green gelato stand that was posted as a teaser, is not in this update...

[hotwingzz]

I don't see the gelato guy only a gelato display what's up with that ???????

[soclassymom]

Yeah I'm now surprised what is happening there ^_^
There is no gelato guy !!!!!!!
Maybe the green one is for next week
Or it's in one of boxes !!!!

[LalaSmooth]

Aww no new recipes this week

[MommaLouKC]

The gelato display is completely different from the teaser. I'm not sure it's worth 30 gems. Guess I got 4 days to decide if it is.

[pattypopo]

May be a really nice update, but since the price of EVERYTHING has doubled, I will be unable to expand until Feb or March of next year and have no room to add anything. Sorry, but a very poor business decision in my opinion. Wow, seriously?

[yagd]

I think for the many complaints posted on this forum, TL decided to change it

[caesarslaw]

anyone have pics of the new content?

[chewytwix]

if the gelato guy appears next week for gems, i still wont buy it. TL KNOWS the customers are pissed and not buying anything this week, but by next week, TL is going to have a lot of loyal customers quit.

[kooky panda]

Guys I know everyone is upset on the new prices for bakery, but lets keep this thread for discussing the updates. You can post your feedback on the new price changes on the current thread:

There's 1 new recipe for the regular oven- Castella at 11 hours.

This is actually not new. Came out last week :)

[badger8]

Oops! :)

[Eric1343]

i would like to know when the item on the 1st page will be available ???

[rainkissed]

I don't like the substitute gelato display at all. The original one was a lot better. Very disappointing update.

[itsmelmel3]

I received a baking assistant but nothing happened are you suppose to get an assistant to put in your bakery or is it part of a goal to receive something later?

[nmishii]

Its part of a goal to receive something later.

[queentina3]

I personally liked the Gelato that was teased more than the one we received. :(

[dehlias]

Well, this update included the price increases if you ask me!!!

[thomaaas]

I really hope the teased Gelato stand is coming next week, was really gonna buy it.

[Eric1343]

me too i really love this item it will be mine :-)

[melby29]

What happened to the original Gelato stand?

How big is the other one?

[greygull]

I've flagged over about the different displays - will let everyone know as soon as possible.

[ashrb]

Haaaate this update. I preferred the gelato shop. And 9 gems for a barrel of flowers? Really TL? And stop making majority of the new flooring for gems! It's ridiculous.

[jay1314]

Not that great of an update

[kitty711]

I think the Italian theme is for the San Gennaro festival ?

[princessbella99]

I personally liked the Gelato that was teased more than the one we received. :(

Same here. And now everyone is upset. The colours were for the theme, I guess no one liked them. But it was cute and I really wanted it so bad. Could you consider putting it for next week's update for those who want it? Because I was really looking forward to it

[princessbella99]

Me too. This update is quite lame to be honest

[carrion2342]

40 thousand for a chair. Really?! How much the wood cost to make it? Ridiculous. Quit the game anyway. Sick and tired of TL's dirty business.

[pop16]

Where is it??

[bakerbarbie12]

None of the pictures of the new items show up in my design thingee.....it says there a Lil Italy table and chair but no image. For everything new. And I'm on iPad.

All this nonsense with prices doubling and all these stupid issues....it really is outrageous. Who is making these decisions? Yes I know there is a separate thread for every issue but there are tons of issues! The ONLY reason I bother with this at all anymore is cause I have so much time invested and am so close to mastering everything. But right now my ovens are empty cause of the prices!

[pop16]

Never mind..I see what happened and I do not like the change..why TL?

[mposey]

I just had a long horrible day at work got home to some mustang parked in my parking spot with their sun visor in their windshield (meaning they are staying for a good while. To come home to find out the prices are upped AND this update is ...meh. Today was not my day.

[cakeandpie]

I bought the Italian pastry display, so cute!

[mposey]

I bought the Italian pastry display, so cute!

I really want to see what it looks like. Hope you don't mind me adding you to nbr. Decline if you want. ;)

[habanero89]

caesarslaw visit my Bakery i have the Italian Pastry and the Gelato but i can t post pictures :-(

I sent you an invite but I couldn't see your gelato stand or italian pastry display :(

[Eric1343]

2 minutes i put them in

[shakiba]

I thought this update was going to be good. I was so wrong. I hope the display on the teaser comes out next week. Uh oh, that means more of the Italian theme.

[Eric1343]

i ve think i ve added you habanero89 you ve seen the 2 items ???

[bigbux3]

Where is the Gelato thing? All I have is a Gelato Display for 30 gems (LTO)

[mposey]

2 minutes i put them in

I tried to add u so I could see it too but didn't :(

[habanero89]

i ve think i ve added you habanero89 you ve seen the 2 items ???

Yes I can see them now! :) There was just a blank space before :S

[habanero89]

Just read your other post now I understand lol 

[trace35]

I'm guessing so many people posted they didn't like the colour of the gelato stand they have held off releasing it, while they make changes.

[trace35]

Not gonna buy it anyway now. There is no point because i can't play with the new prices.

[DaojinWildfire]

Sorry guys! When you stare at gelato all day, your tummy starts taking control. The intended teaser for this week was the Gelato Display, but we posted the wrong item. The Gelato Stand that was teased will likely be released later this month.

[hotwingzz]

That's was a mean tease I wanted the little gelato guy :( :(

[felicitybliss]

Thank you for the update. I would have enjoyed this item. However, I suspect that I will no longer be a BS customer by the time this releases.

[dehlias]

I'm glad I didn't purchase gems.. I was going too...but never again until they fix the price increase!!

[melimel73]

Nice*-*

[420diva]

Its sad because the game used to be so awesome..now many of my neighbors are saying goodbye

[Gypsy_Cat]

I'm taking a cooking break but will still gift & tip my neighbors. What I don't understand is if they were going to spring this huge & horrible twist on us, why didn't they at least give us some of the things we've been begging for as well:

1. Gem confirmation button
2. New door designs
3. Ability to delete pending neighbor requests or have them expire after a certain amount of time

It still would suck, but at least it would be a small nod to the players that they are at least listening to us. It's just such bad business IMHO.

[qtmomma]

What is the first one??? Bc my gilatot display is only a small triangular display counter

[thomaaas]

Gelato stand will probably be the number one item in the Italian Box that will be released later this month. Just my guess.

[chuchulovestore]

All thw wall decoration items are for gems and de prices are nonsense. I'm not buying gems if tl don't fix this.

[lambyo]

Perhaps by making coin items more expensive, gem items will look "cheap" in comparison. Nice try!

[minidemon88]

Was quite surprised to see a gelato display instead of the one in the teaser. Not sure if it worth 30 gems getting it. I find the shape kinda odd looking. The italian pastry display is nice! And I'm so happy we didn't have any new recipe this week. Finally back to baking some really old recipe. =p

[arale_norimaki]

Some of my best neighbors are leaving too... it is horrible, why don't TL just fix the prices? This game needs good loyal players, if they leave what's the interest?

Try to read their thread. It's ridiculous. You'll see how's the "economi" ruined the joy...

I agree, especially since they said it would come out at the end of the month, normal timing for a new box. I don't purchase boxes anymore and I really wanted that display. :(

[carrion2342]

I posted about the new update. Almost everything for gems or sky high prices... I think it's connecting in every way... Paying 40 thousand for 1 chair... Wow it most be so special... Let me see how manny players buy more than a few with the knowledge their next expansion cost double...

[kieranyeow]

Italian Box
IM not buying it for sure.

[CookieFortune]

I closed my bakery, unfortunately. It was hard for me the way it was to bring up the patience, but now it's become useless. I'm not going to wait for months to be aible to expand my bakery. It's a shame though. Really liked the game in its old form.

What a disappointment. I hate this stupid update! TL fix this price hike & where's the gelato guy at?!

[rainkissed]

Italian Box

LOL ....ITA .....not buying the Italian theme now and definitely not wasting gems on box items from that. Even if the original gelato display we were supposed to get is in that box, I'll pass.

[carbird]

You'd think that the update would have included the increase in prices!

[kieranyeow]

Not happy to hear that update.
Now I'm Planing To Buy The Limted Item,
Gelato Display
It costs 30 gems.Must Think Carefully.

[rooncake]

Are there any pictures anywhere of the Gelato Display? Anyone have it in their bakery where I can look at it?

[rosemintcandy]

I bought it. But I don't know how to show my bakery picture here. It is so cute and I love it. But I think it is difficult to layout because of its shape.

[melby29]

A lot of people don't have anything in their bakeries at the moment. They are all closing down.

[rooncake]

@Rosemintcandy - I invited you so I could see it, thank you :) Feel free to decline if you dont want to add me. I took a picture of it, if you want I can post it here so others can see

[rosemintcandy]

@rooncake ー Yes, please ! Thank you ＼(^-^)／ If you are OK, I'm glad to be your neighbor.

[pentifer]

I was getting ready to expand for 6,000,000, and it just changed to 12,000,000! Why????

[minidemon88]

Because of the recently price hikes which they did.

I Love The Gelato Display.
But I Must Think About,
Save For Next Holiday Or Buy A Gelato Display?

[rooncake]

I'm saving up for the next holiday =P it's just way too small for 30 gems! I want to save for fountains. Also I'm not buying anything till the prices drop anyways 8D (speaking off, for the people adding me from this thread, I'm not playing currently! Again, waiting for the price to drop.)

[rosemintcandy]

Thank you for posting a picture, dear rooncake.

I bought it on the first day and I didn't know about the price problem.
Now, I feel sorry that I bought gem items.

In this update, my sync swimming came back.
So team Lava will also fix the price problem again!

I hope we can enjoy our Bakery Story!

[Godlovesyou12]

I am no longer playing bakery due to price doubles.
The only thing I can afford is the carrot cakes. :(
Bakery was my favorite game too. If I get word
that the pricing was fixed I will be playing again
so if your my nbr than you can delete me. If this
is never fixed I will never play again. I am now
checking once a week to tip and keep my star
rating at 3. No cooking. I have no tables and
my bakery's closed, I am so sad that I had to
close my lovely cafe. Oh well. TL fix it!! plz!

No they aren't.


Thank you, the thoughts are appreciated. Naturally, I wouldn't expect happy responses to the deliverer of bad news. :)

The prices aren't going to be changed back to the way they were before with the current plan (pony dodge under desk powers activate? >.<). I know that's unhappy news for some, which is why it's important to keep a thread open where users can express themselves and share their thoughts. Then, review that feedback and share it with the team. It doesn't mean there will or won't be changes in the future, but unfortunately, I can't speculate on that. Short term, it's going to make people cranky. Long term, it'll improve the game.
