Looks like a pink paradise for those who love pink ! :)

[CuteTali]

/GASP! Awesome!!! Everything looks sooo good, can't wait for it to get added to the game. Such a beautiful update!

[LavaRain8]

Um...are those new appliances I see? Dual goals again? And on the first Wednesday? Strange...

Unless that chocolate fountain and the one next to it are old and returning for LTOs, then maybe not.

Otherwise...it's nice enough, I guess. It's just too much of a pink-apocalypse for me to use this full theme, though it's to be expected given the holiday lol. The items look nice enough overall, though I'm on the fence about those floor tiles. Not seeing anything that's big and goal worthy, so maybe it is just a regular update. Maybe I should ask others to hold off on gifting me just in case though. :D

[sbratprincess]

I love it!!! Will be perfect in my bakery!! The mini chocolate fountain is soooo cute!!

[Natasha_07]

I see 2 appliances, looks like dual goals or just special appliances, dunno!

A very girly update lol separately i supose one or 2 items can be acceptable for those who do not want to risk a pink headache, like the sprinkle rack

[NoWayCupcake]

Nice!! Sweetheart display is so cute. I don't recognize the treats on the first two counters? Anyone else? Maybe new appliances indeed!

[orleansparish]

How many days remaining on the other goals? We have had goals start before while old ones are there, but this seems quite sudden. Either ways, i dont care! I want it all. Gems or goals or coins.....its perfect! And will fit in with my pink for the most of the year decor.

Mumbling to self........cant believe some people dont like pink....

What else do you do.....tell toddlers Santa isnt real?! Think pink!

Sehana's site says that there are 13 days left in the goal still. I'm guessing since next week would be kind of late for Valentine goals, they probably just rolled them out together this time, since there have been a lot of complaints about "late" goals for holidays before.

And it's not that I don't like pink, I just don't like a LOT of pink lol.

And why would I tell toddlers such a thing? I just run up and rip off the beard on the guy in the mall and watch the chaos ensue.... *insert evil villain laugh*

[kimandamelia]

I LOVE it! !! And I am trying my best to ignore the few players on here every single week complaining about something. It is just tiring to read and mind boggling why some play something they can't seem to find joy in. This is a beautiful update, love the love! Have a happy day everyone! !!

[ojapple96]

Anyone else get an update to the app - mine said something about now able to purchase "bundles" where you are able to purchase a set of items at a reduced price? Maybe that's what this is??? LOVE it sure looks sweet indeed!

Not sure if I'm included into this group, but you can actually just flat out put them on ignore, I've done that with a couple of people now. Just click on their name to go to their profile and you can ignore from there. It will show that they posted, but won't show what was said...unless you click view post if you're curious enough.

Someone else asked on the RS forum and a staff member only said that it is something that is coming soon. Sounds pretty promising, as discounts are always a good thing! :cool:

I just saw it. Sounds awesome sauce! I hope it premieres tomorrow. Maybe these items are based around that idea? I have a gem sale now, still deciding if I should get some now, in case there are no goals. Because I like these items very much.

[steelersbabyyy]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the new update!

[twospoons]

http://i60.tinypic.com/208v2ag.jpg

so, it's goals without the final prize in the image, right? cause the chocolate fountain (fabulous!) and the oven to the left of it are both new, i think. LOVE the sprinkle rack and sweetheart display. not so keen on the flooring, chairs & tables. i'm not a huge fan of pink anyway (although it's all over my bakery right now), but even when i am using it, that particular shade isn't my cup of tea. and i think the pink on the countertops & that of the chairs/tables do not go well together.


You know what WOULD HAVE gone good with this.......the TRUFFLE CHAIR!!!!! I'm sooooo sad!!!! :(

me too--i still want those so much.

interesting. sounds like an iOS thing though. keep us posted!

[AnnasCoffee]

pinkcherryb .... Are you still playing? It's the sprinkle rack that you asked for like 2 years ago! No rush, right?

I like the bakery related items:). The table with the cake and other stuff is really nice. I like that the wallpaper has shades of grays and brown... pink is okay, but too much pink is not my thing.

I'm curious about the 'Valentine Mit'... it must be the wall item behind the first two appliances. I hope they raise it up a bit, its so low that it's getting blocked.

[mytsa]

Love this update no matter is it a goal, the chocolate fountain is fabulous.
Agree with twospoons, the shade of the counters does not go well with the tables and floor,
and the chairs doesn't seem comfortable if you try to whisper with your lover across the table.

[rosewaterlily]

The pink multi-cake display looks amazing! Can't wait to get it. The rest of the stuff looks okay, maybe the pink/brown combo will blend my Valentine's stuff with my coffee stuff better.

[PepperWoo]

Ohhh I love that sprinkle rack! Wasn't expecting a new goal this week but yay I can't wait.

[snowcastle14]

It's too pink and girly for me, but I wish I had enough cash to complete all the seasonal goals this year. It seems the only players who can do all the seasonal goals are the ones who either spend real money or high leveled ones like 50s and above.

Depends on your level and how much money the appliances cost. I finished three sets of goals on a level 30 something bakery. But couldn't do the xmas ones because I couldn't afford those 50,000 ovens. It's possible. Just has to be planned ahead. And other than for skipping, gems don't really aid in goals. You have to do actual cooking to get the prizes.

[electrikbarbarella]

Great update! Everything will go well with the coffee items. Can't wait to get started, thanks TL!!

One request: will you please, please, please re-release the Truffle Chairs. They would be perfect with this update & you'd make soooooo many players super happy. :)

Hi sweety! ^_^ o I hope it's goals I would so love it!!!!! XD

I'm still wondering wat this bundles thing I had to update bs and rs and i don't see anything different in the game :/

[Candifrosting]

Wondering if it'll be a goal... the decor looks nice though :) ♥

[Sharondastone8]

Thanks whoever gave the tip about tipping gem tables. It really works. Helped me get the spatula. Just tip a 3 or 4 star player on a table that requires gems to purchase. You may have to do it several times. After 3 tries I got the spatula. Great forum btw. :-)

[Sharondastone8]

Earlier post was for RS. Sorry. Haven't tried it on Bakery. Wrong thread my apologies.

[filochick1982]

OMG this is like a dream update come true for me. PINK is my favourite colour, and even though I have no room left in my bakery, I still want everything I see I that pic!!! Will go so pefectly with all my Valentine's decor!!!!! Can't get enough Valentines's decor!!!!!! :) :) :)

[minidemon88]

Seem like a goal updates. Love the wallpaper and the sprinkle rack!

I never realized this! I get the spatula all the time! I have way too many. Well at least now I know how I got them. 😊

[filochick1982]

For those ever wishing old goal prizes to come back for purchase, don't lose hope. I just came across this thread because I was curious what the Valentine goal was for 2012, becuase it ended literally just before I started playing in March 2012.
The Fruit Chocolate Dip, and the Truffle Maker were the goal ovens, and the Swan Fountain was a goal prize. So there is hope in having the truffle chair brought back as that was also a goal prize. Not sure about the Love Muffins though as that was unlocked from doing the goal.

I'm hoping they bring back the love muffins, they unlocked and brought back the prime rib and stuffing this Christmas in RS and they were both goal recipes so maybe they'll do the same here, fingers crossed.

Nice update, looks like goals....hope it is. Love the sprinkle rack.

I'm not opposed to the possibility that it may be a goal but I looked and looked and don't see those stoves you are talking about. I see "stoves," just nothing that looks like goal stoves. Maybe I need glasses. *shrugs shoulders"

[LightAndLove83]

Oh my!! I definitely need glasses!! I saw it! It's just hard to tell, but it's desined to look like the wall paper.

Lol, that oven is basically camouflaged into the wallpaper. I only noticed it when I saw the fountain first. :D

[LalaSmooth]

Is that chocolate fountain an appliance???

[meme1098]

I missed your post further down Natasha...thought you'd add the pic to your first post. Looks like a nice update though for Valentines. :)
Hope all the parts aren't new. Guess we'll see later.

[LadyZhenJi]

Does anyone know if this will be under an updated version? I'm on an android and I'm still playing the Christmas edition. If I recall correctly, the last time they had dual goals the second set came out for iOS first and android had to wait a bit...

[chillez]

It looks to me like it is. Why else would they show it beside other appliances?

[steelersbabyyy]

what time do the updates happen? i keep forgetting

[ojapple96]

It seems like it's been between 1-2pm CST for me the last few weeks usually the earlier time of 1 than the expected time of 2.

Splendid the sprinkle rack is in the catalogue thats the only stuff i was interested in, bought it right away now no need to hother about another set of boring goals i really cant understand so many players loved cooking frentically for hours to get a final prize when it would be so easy to buy the same item right from the catalogue......

I believe the first appliance is 5 springs and 5 choc roses not 5 choc hearts or are the parts different on IOS and android? I'm in IOS and it's spring handle and choc roses. LOVE that it's a goal week!

[taoyingying]

But, the sprinkle rack is not the final goal prize...it's far from it! If you want to acquire the sweetheart display and the Valentine's display (final prize), you have to complete the goals or pay a ton of gems to skip everything. By doing the goals, you also get both appliances and the counter. Seems well worth the effort to me, and to each their own on how fast they choose to go through the steps.

I checked the catalog and guess what? Yes, the sprinkle rack is available for any player to purchace if they want to. But the Sweetheart display & the Valentine display can Only be obtained by players who complete goal tasks. You are wrong...so deal with it; while the rest of us players enjoy "cooking frantically" (which you spelled wrong). Now I must get back to cooking so I can actually get all of the goal prizes that you don't want.

And everyone doesn't cook frantically (or frenetically); I still have neighbors requesting things for the previous goal, and I'm not finished yet either.

[LavaRain8]

By the looks of that link, the goals in 2012 were quite...strange. Place this new oven, but don't bother cooking anything with it, just make X amount of this recipe on the regular oven. Then let's jump over to the Ice Cream Machine and make some of those, but not before you request 10 ice cream cones for no good reason. Then, finish building the new machine...but let's go with another old recipe on the drink mixer, and request some cream for your coffee please! 3 should do the trick....

Thank goodness they aren't just like that anymore. The goals could be considered tedious now, but these old ones were beyond tedious. :D

[filochick1982]

Yes I know this isn't the first time they were re-released after the goal expired. I bought these appliances after they were re-released the first time last year so already had them as well. My point is, the fact TL was willing to re-release the two appliances twice post the goals expiring, means there is hope in having the truffle chairs re-released as well. Who knows, we may get them next week.

Must you always remind everyone that you hate goals? We get it. No one is forcing you to do them. Most of us prefer to do the hard yards and get a nice prize without resorting to spending gems so we can save them for other items we can only get WITH gems. We don't all have bottomless pits of gems here like you make yourself out to have. Some of us actually need to prioritise where the gems are spent. I prefer to spend mine on boxes.

It looks very pretty locked at the end of my floor decor tab! Alas, I will get to baking and be very pleased when I get the reward! :)

[VanaCatu]

Most of us prefer to do the hard yards and get a nice prize without resorting to spending gems so we can save them for other items we can only get WITH gems.
totally agree. goals are not only for final prize. for example, from running quest, we can make upto $600'000 and for sure 12 gems... i'm playing almost 2 years, but for me such a profit is still good and appreciated, especially in view of prices for expansion and decor in bakery...

[AnnasCoffee]

I also agree. Completing the goals is about more than just baking. It's about unlocking each new item and recipe, one at a time, as you progress... and then decorating each day with that new item. I like anticipating what I will unlock next and planning where I will put it when I get it... it 'stretches out' the decorating fun for days!

If you use gems unlock EVERYTHING right away, all your fun is over in a few minutes.

Patience is a virtue :)

I wouldn't play if it weren't for the goals, because I don't personally like all of the weekly updates. And I probably wouldn't have any neighbors if I was inactive for very long and you need them for goals, parts, gifts, moral support.. lol.

[LightAndLove83]

Goals are getting out of hand. Could someone please let Team Lava know that while it's definitely a good idea to give some love to those who make you the most money, THEY aren't the majority! Their the 1 percenters. The 99 percenters, also make them money and would like them to throw us a bone once in a while. :-/ We have to earn our money, therefore, this game is our way of unwinding and socializing. We don't have time to babysit goals. I agree, they needed to make them a little more challenging, but now? They've just gone overboard. :-/ *SMH & CHUCKLE*

[LightAndLove83]

Wow. That person must be very lazy to just spend gems so they can skip the goals.

to the player that called the other player lazy.... There are any number of reasons that a player would choose to spend gems in order to complete the goal. With the goals becoming more complicated, some may choose to finish them quicker by the use of gems If they choose not to have neighbors, have neighbors that aren't very helpful, or like most of us...don't have time to babysit a game all the time. They have over complicated the goals now since some people were complaining that they didn't have enough to do and goals went to quickly. so now, for those of us that play the game to unwind and enjoy, we have been forced to have to "fit it in" to our busy schedules. I've noticed, for the first time, that several of my neighbors are still finishing up last goal! To me, that's ridiculous. And if you don't finish the goal, you obviously don't get the prize and if you aren't able to win the orizes in order to decorate your bakery, I suspect that some people will just quit playing altogether, since the decorating is what drives the train for most players. A great number of people are here to socialize as well. But you can't make money off of people's socialization. I think Team Lava should re-plot the goals. I think they went 180 degrees too far, in the opposite direction. Trust me...if I could afford to throw money at this game every time a goal came out, I'd gem my way thru it too, if I had a busier schedule, I just might not be able to enjoy the game encore. o_O

Hi bakery players. I was wondering if any onr could tell me which oven I need to make the stone ground miche? Been trying and trying to complete this goal but every oven I buy is not the right one! HELP

Goals are getting out of hand. Could someone please let Team Lava know that while it's definitely a good idea to give some love to those who make you the most money, THEY aren't the majority! Their the 1 percenters. The 99 percenters, also make them money and would like them to throw us a bone once in a while. :-/ We have to earn our money, therefore, this game is our way of unwinding and socializing. We don't have time to babysit goals. I agree, they needed to make them a little more challenging, but now? They've just gone overboard. :-/ *SMH & CHUCKLE*I don't like the 1- and 2-hour recipes as part of goals. I don't have a job that enables me to check my phone that frequently (and stuff will have spoiled by my lunch), so I can do the recipes a couple times in the evening. So I usually can't really start on making the recipes until the weekend. And even then, I'm often doing something and can't check on it every two hours.

to the player that called the other player lazy.... There are any number of reasons that a player would choose to spend gems in order to complete the goal. With the goals becoming more complicated, some may choose to finish them quicker by the use of gems If they choose not to have neighbors, have neighbors that aren't very helpful, or like most of us...don't have time to babysit a game all the time. They have over complicated the goals now since some people were complaining that they didn't have enough to do and goals went to quickly. so now, for those of us that play the game to unwind and enjoy, we have been forced to have to "fit it in" to our busy schedules. I've noticed, for the first time, that several of my neighbors are still finishing up last goal! To me, that's ridiculous. And if you don't finish the goal, you obviously don't get the prize and if you aren't able to win the orizes in order to decorate your bakery, I suspect that some people will just quit playing altogether, since the decorating is what drives the train for most players. A great number of people are here to socialize as well. But you can't make money off of people's socialization. I think Team Lava should re-plot the goals. I think they went 180 degrees too far, in the opposite direction. Trust me...if I could afford to throw money at this game every time a goal came out, I'd gem my way thru it too, if I had a busier schedule, I just might not be able to enjoy the game encore. o_O

Sorry but I still think that for the vast majority who skip the goals with gems, it boils down to laziness/and or poor time management.

I have a full time job. I also take care of my little baby, run a household, run errands, spend time with my husband and socialise with friends. I have hobbies too. I'm not always on my phone. And guess what? I can still complete these goals within about a week and a half. It only takes what? Two minutes to do all that tapping to cook a recipe, and a few hours later, spend another two minutes serving the recipe. This game isn't hard. These goals aren't hard. No one is forcing you to do them if you feel they take up too much of your time. Sure, complete them using gems but please don't make these goals out to be something that's so hard to do because they're not.

why is that ridiculous? they're not even at the last minute stage yet--those goals don't expire for another 10 days! they have plenty of time left to get that final prize without the use of gems.

I agree with you that people who spend to skip can have many reasons for it, but I disagree on it ever being a necessity for a regular player, unless that player can honestly only log on once a day or something. even those of us with busy lives (and I've already thrown away several recipes of rotten chocolate-covered bananas, because I find short recipes difficult on weekdays) will be able to finish in the allotted time with or without any particular time management s****s. maybe not by V-day, but without getting locked out of any of the decor permanently.

I'm actually very grateful for the monthly goal updates. Otherwise, I'll be bored to death and will most likely quit the game years ago. It's boring without having new recipe/appliance.

The goals in bs and rs are much easier compared to the event in farm story 2. It will drive one nuts, pulling all their hair out. LOL! :p

[pupugoing]

Actually I keep playing the game because of the goals, I am in love with getting prizes and decorating my bakery.

Goals add fun to the game, love it.

However, don't critizise people using gems to finish goals, they might have their own problems,
and, they are who fund the game so that we can play it free and ad free.

Does anyone have a screenshot of the recipes for the second appliance?

Mysta, you are so right. The people that PAY are the reason why we can play for free! Why does anyone care if some people spend gems to finish goals? It is your money? People. Smh.

[filochick1982]

I don't actually care what people choose to spend their gems on and I happen to spend an obscene amount of real money on this game. The pictures I post of my bakery in the Show Off Your Bakery thread proves that. I was simply pointing out that it comes across as pure laziness (to me) to spend gems when you can get the same items for free with some effort.

I don't think the people who complete goals with gems are lazy. From what I seen They have money to burn and like to show off. Needing to be the first to have the new shiny prize for people to fawn over. That's not laziness. It's pure silliness. And wasteful. But hey, some folks feel the need to get attention even in a game of people they don't see. Not my taxes to pay. There is one player who always finished the goals on the same day. Blows my mind. Like really, Dudette? They're like the folks who need to get the first iPhone. I just laugh, see what I'm working towards and cook my food. I'll be finished with the goals tomorrow. Then I'll go back to mastering and strolling the community to see who has the new items tomorrow.

I also have neighbors still doing the old goals. For the person who says it's ridiculous. How is it bothering you or affects your game? I accept my neighbors parts and if I can try not to be lazy, then I send them the old part they asked for too. I have three bakeries. I don't play them all at the same time. I JUST started the previous goals a few days ago. But then realized the end prize looks wacky and I can't be bothered with doing it, just for the first cake.

Not when I can give my all for these goals with much more awesome prizes.
