The Art of Baking

Nuubi-Joonas2210: My phone is also very old and slow, but I have brought my camera settings professional fashion, and the image is quite clear. I wanted to write it for those who wanted to try it, maybe it would be useful.

Please use only English on the EN forum, thank you
Although I wrote my entire message in English, I believe it was automatically translated before publication due to the automatic translation feature. I apologize for this.

 

But my phone is so SLOW that I have no time even the see picture (it NOT stays on the screen!!) before the time is up and MY question so is:

Approximately how many minigames do you have to play to "get almost nothing right" and still be able to earn those 1240 points and both tokens for the long task?

edit - I think that is 13x10 (all fails first 13 games) and 74x 15 points (all fails rest of the 3-cake-games) = 1240 point= 84 games...

84 games is:
--------------------------------------
31 752 event plants
2 352 event drops

I I have just now
23656 plants
1063 drops

so Drops,l Drops, Drops and once again Drops...


* * * Dear Super-Nordais * * * - Yes - your "FAQ" is Unofficial FAQ - BUT:

I think 365 and 1240 points are Pastry tokens other yours numbers are Party tickets...
The Pastry Tokens are offered once players reach the 195, 365, 1020 and 1240 cake points' marks.

 

I don't know if this is helpful. But on lined paper I write out all the options for Sponge, Icing, and Decoration. I then put in "1's" for the first cupcake and "2's" for the second and then "x" them out after the game. It helps offset the fact that I'm old and slow.

 

I decided, on reading everyone's comments about the toppings, that I would go with photos - I still have made a few mistakes, some entirely my own but I also have grown so many crops that I will have extra if I need any more attempts to get the final prize.

 

I've completed 24 cake orders (including the free one) and have 985 points. I had a steep learning curve for this edition. I normally have success in writing down the first initial of the ingredients on paper, but not this time. I would run out of time before I got the 2nd cupcake done and no way for me to do the 3rd.

For me, it isn't the toppings that are hard, but it took some time to differentiate between the 2 icings that look similar. Additionally, I tried to do the sponges but wound up needing to switch to the paper liners.

Those adjustments still didn't allow me to get through recording the ingredients before time ran out. A good friend encouraged me to use my phone and that is working well for me. I'm now getting all 3 cakes right for the full 60 points.

I have a long way to go and need to be done by tomorrow at noon as I will be away from the farm for the following 3 days. I'm using a 200% Overall bonus, 100% Plant bonus and SG/SSG to help reach my goal.

I spun the normal wheel over 80 times and the party wheel also 80 times with no bonuses, but a lot of VERY NICE yellow workshops

Good luck to you all

 

My numbers are right, there are four Pastry tokens to be had on the levels I mentioned:



You can verify by clicking the gift icons in the progress bar that can be found on the event screen at the bottom of the screen. Each token is one of the two prizes offered when point goal are met.

 

I now have all the crops and drops to mill the 59 Cake boxes plus the 1 free to play 60 mini games! I really do not like this mini game so I really don't care about getting to the CR. BUT does anyone know how many games I need to play to get the 250 cherry coins I need to buy the Pinkest Pie Recipe? I know I will fail most of the time!
I think I figured it out for myself! I believe we get 5 cherry coins if we fail a mini game. So IF I fail all 60 mini games I should still get 5 coins x 60 games = 300 cherry coins which would give me enough to reach my goal!

 

@sanddollar15:

these numbers are from a chart in my language forum:

1 cake: sucess 15 points
fail 5 points

2 cakes: success 35 points
1/1 20
fail 10

3 cakes: success: 60 points
2 ok/1 fail: 40 points
1 ok/2 fail: 25 points
fail: 15 points

Hope that helps!

Even using my copy-and-paste method, i got a few cakes wrong because all the elements were very similar. I finished it but had no fun at all.

 

Sanddollor, There is no mention of cherry coins in FAQ, Receipes can be brought using Star Coins, you get less Star Coins on Fail Cake Build, but get more Star Coins for completed cake builds

 

Lol! We're both wrong, @Mooboy! My chart is useless because it's about points and not cherry coins and we can only buy things in the

shop using cherry coins. I see these cakes are in fact very confusing

 

My previous strategy has failed. I have now moved on to "Ask the 12 year old to play for me" strategy

 

I was having trouble with the toppings also. I took the event faqs page and made the window just big enough for the picture of the 5 cakes, toppings and frostings. I leave it just to the side of my fam window where I can glance quickly at it because the toppings are separate from the frosting and I can recognize it easier. 1) 2 blue spots on left, 2) 3 dots top g b p, 3) snow flake, 4) red on bottom, 5) 3 pink hearts at top.

I can't get my phone to work either, so trying different ways to get a picture fast enough.

 

There's a correction at the end of the FAQ, this version of the event has Cherry Coins. Still the same price, just a change of form of the coin!

 

I couldn't get above 5.

 

FIRST cake can be done right by me, other not any possibilities!

 

After I got my coordination right with clicking to start, taking photo and then showing photo, all went well. I have now finished, done a few extra cakes - I mean, who doesn't like a piece of cake - but now I am done. No more Pink Boxes for me please dear neighbours and friends.

 

Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions! This for me IS the worst event ever! and
I will NEVER be doing it again! BUT on the bright side I did just buy the Pinkest Pie Recipe! so
I am done with this event! To any friends and neighbors I also no longer need or want lol pink boxes! Good luck to all

 

Wow. From all the comments about the mini-game, I think I'm glad I'm sitting this one out.

I realized last night that because I cannot do this event, I will not be able to complete the over-arching soccer event and get those cloud rows. I think this whole thing may have finally cured me of FOCD. Some things are more important than this game (I know - can't believe I typed that, either).

In case you're wondering, it's supposed to reach 103 today. Down from yesterday when the thermometer in the backyard said 112 when I was fixing dinner.

 

Sorry that you are not going to be able to finish the soccer event. I am not sure I like all the interwoven events we are having lately. It makes it difficult when you have things to do in real life.

I hope you enjoy Phoenix, but June July August are the most miserable out here. I have lived in the Phoenix area since 1958 and the heat is not nice. June is usually hot but not as humid as July and August when our weather pattern changes to more moist air. We can have dew points in the 60's and 70's but the humidity is less than 30% and the temps are still over 100. At least swamp coolers are a relic of the past and most have AC now. Also, I see we will be 112 in thursday.

 

For players who want to buy a lot with cherry coins, I can say that you can continue earning cherry coins even after completing the event.
