The Big Bake Off Strategy Thread

you will get there!! Don't give up!

I have one field full with rabbits and appletrees. Rabbits gave me 2 tickets just a minute ago and the apple trees I will see tomorrow morning (as I have revamped my farm today). I don't know, what you have out and if you have enough CC to buy additional pens or trees in the shop to fill everything up.
If your telephone trick is working, you need best case 32 cake vouchers, thats 6 a day to get the 1000 points. Cloudrow is much earlier, so keep up trying!!!
You can do it, I am sure!

Good Luck

 

I do remember those days of being new. However, this is an event you CAN complete. Make sure to mill some cake boosts and put your Bakery Shop decoration out. Use a cake boost every time you collect to shorten your timer to 3 hours. If possible, collect it every 3 hours as well. A typical person will spend 16 hours awake, meaning if you can collect each time it's ready, you'll get 6 vouchers each day which is more than enough to complete the event, even if you make a few mistakes.

Ultimately, you'll need between 31 and 35 vouchers total. With 6 days you should be able to complete the event even if you're only able to collect the Bakery Shop 3 times a day and average a total of 1.5 vouchers each day.

In addition, try to focus on growing something easy and selling it in the market to earn country coins, this will allow you to buy much needed additional stables and trees for your farm. I suggest Apple Tree's at the moment as they are always needed by fellow farmers and collect a decent price given the time needed to grow.

The rest will all fall into place as long as you tend to your farm needs. Good luck to you.

 

I have managed to complete all Ten Levels of this Event. Bakery Shop no longer gives Cake Vouchers once you completed this Event Just let you be aware of this..

I have completed this Event using only 30 Cake Vouchers so it can be done, From Experiencing this whole event today. I reckon many Newbies can and should be able to obtain 30 Cake Vouchers due the six day event as Bakery Shop will be huge help to newbies since Cake Vouchers cannot be Gifted to anyway...So Illy SOS is not going to help anyone ok I Suggest putting out any Coloured Pens you have or your highest Pens you have in your Barn. In my views it is an Easy Event for Everyone.

Which makes me happy to see lots of Newbies will be able to complete this event. To be honest there is not need to Mill Cake Boost as i done it without it

Revamp your Farm Put out all highest Animal Pens you have surround them with Apple Trees...

 

Were the drops much higher for a short period at the start of this event? I've only got 2 drops so far and I'm level 99. Not that I prepared my farm all that well, but still.

 

It took me a little while to work out where I got the Bakery Shop for my CR but having deleted it and tried to place it, nothing shows. It doesn't even say this item is not in my inventory. Maybe it's something I'm doing wrong. I would place a query in Questions but I see someone else is already asking a similar thing. Any clues?

 

shimmer - I noticed the drops are much lower with today's first harvest compared to yesterday's first harvest.
On my youngest farm, I got 20 drops yesterday morning and today just 12 with the exact same setup. It is enough to finish the event but I did have a whole field of peacocks that gave nothing. I could understand chickens giving nothing but peacocks are a long enough pen that I would have thought they would have given drops. The amount of vouchers required to complete the event is low so there is plenty of time to complete the event without worry or stress. Good luck!

illy - the bakery shop is not available to place in the clouds until after the event and a script is run. When you are not in clouds but back on the farm, it should show in your inventory.

From FAQ: Note: Bakery Shop will not be placeable on the Cloud Row until after Event ends and rebooking of values has been done.

 

Thanks PnP - I was sure I saw someone had their CR up and running. Guess it's my old bete noir - skimming instead of reading properly! I was really pleased cos my next farm also finished. Those BBs were sooo tempting!

Baby farm is playing as and when it gets vouchers but unless it gets very close, I won't be doing anything more than harvesting the usual six trees!

 

Good luck illy! All the prizes were tempting for me Happy to finally have a weasel

 

Do we keep the bakery when its finished ?
Think i read you cant put the bakery on the cloud row until the end of the event
Note: Bakery Shop will not be place able on the Cloud Row until after Event ends and re booking of values has been done.
Bakery doesn't seem to be in the things to win
So is probably the one we are given to play the event

​

 

I too have completed the event, and played many multiples after for additional rewards. The Bakery Shop DOES give Cake Vouchers until the end of the event (I just got one). Which means Cake Boosts are still valuable for use on the Bakery Shop.

 

I've got my Bakery out, too-- collecting those free vouchers, and some extra ep The rewards after level 10 are really good, especially considering it costs you nothing but your time to collect them.

I did notice that my drops weren't nearly as good today. I kept my farm exactly as I had it yesterday, except for the addition of the Bakery Shop item, and got 40% less drops today. (eighteen) Still, I'm keeping it as is. My barn is in need of everything I have out anyway.

Best of luck to everyone collecting drops and baking cakes.

 

DONE!!
Got the 1000 points plus a few extra steps. Easy peasy
Will do another few steps, if I am getting additional vouchers. If not.. so be it...
Got the CR with all givers, the Weasel and the BB.. That was my priority list LOL
everything else is a bonus.

Good Luck everybody and Congratulations to all who finished already

 

Have copied the cake chart ....which someone kindly gave us to help with the cakes ..on to my tablet ..So hoping i am going to do better now ..fingers crossed ...run out of printing ink which is what i usually do with events like this

Have got the cloud row and the two givers and stables

 

Nellie, I printed out too but found it was better scribbling instead and easy within the time limit, once I got my own strategy going... I used B (brown), W (white), P (pink), Y (Yellow) and ! for the last mixed combo..
Good luck all.

 

Ahhh Ok will have a go at that ...thank you BoHoKaren
Waiting for vouchers now

 

i am done.the drops are to low ,but if we do a good match with the cakes and not loosing any points everybody can do this event....i am given everybody an idea i used myself,because i am not that good with memory skill...just take a picture with your cell,freeze it and just do the match....lol....was easy and did not lost any points....if that helps....help me for sure

 

I've been using a single letter key and writing them down in vertical rows to remember - so far so good. Hoping to get to the weasel pen on this farm! Sewinglady is farther along - better drops on that farm. Probably because I leave a boatload of trees on bahamarama on that farm.

 

Have got 3 vouchers which is pretty mean from harvesting the whole farm twice
Think they came from the bakery shop

 

I finished this morning using my phone to take pics So grateful that you guys shared that idea. I could not write down the order for 2 cakes fast enough. So if we keep using our vouchers, it will be random whatever extras we get, correct? BTW, I have my Classic II Beavers out and I seem to be getting a 2-3 vouchers each harvest with mine. Not saying it will work for everyone but... Trees are a bust on my farm what's up with that??

 

it's all a bust on this farm - trees nor long term animal pens are coughing up vouchers.

Editing to add: this morning's harvest brought 13 vouchers on each of my two farms...so I'll quit griping and just finish the game.
