Accordingly to the notes on first few posts it states that the ability to make sweets comes back at level 5, I think it did come back but then it disappeared again I'm currently on level 7 and currently no ability to craft sweets. Not that I care right now as I'm crazyily grabbing every spare moment to make tea settings, chop rocks and chop tall grass for spring petals. I've just looked at the speculative numbers etc for this event and I wish I'd known this before starting the event. I probably wouldn't have started. This is taking a fun game into the realms of a religiously collecting / must have / non fun event.
I considered getting the spring flower but for a collection time of 16 hours that's not going to happen. Lol.
