(My apologies if this has already been suggested a million times; I checked the current topics on the board and didn't see it.)
Have you ever considered making the baker avatars customizable? It's great that we have a choice of genders, but I'd definitely sink a lot of coins (and gems) into making my baker avatar look more like me. Being able to choose a skin, eye, and hair color would be marvelous.
Also, I'll bet people would spend stacks of money on buying clothes to match the various bakery themes. Just different apron colors would be pretty brilliant! I'd love to be able to buy a blue-and-white apron to go with my blue-and-white bakery design. Hair styles and/or hats could be sold, too. And making full costumes available would be even more fun! Imagine being able to buy a pirate costume to go with this month's goal items, or a silk-dress-and-tiara or stylish-waistcoat-and-crown ensemble to go with last month's Royal Tea...
Does anybody else agree that this would be really fun? How much would you spend customizing your avatar?
