    Pens that take longer are better, not chickens etc. Don't forget to put your Bakery shop onto one of your fields, (gives vouchers every 6 hours).

    I have over 100 vouchers to use. I completed the event won PF's, CAC's, stars, GB's and many other prizes. Love, love, love this game'xD

    I didn't worry about remembering 3 cakes just made sure of the first two. Good luck.:)

    Use the Boost, write down each part of each cake, y=yellow, p=pink, w=white, etc. no matter how many. You'll get max points.

    I used a variant of this code (put them in a stack to match the cake layers); however, I learnt by experience - remember to differentiate between the chocolate stripe and plain chocolate; as well as chocolate and cherry toppings - if using initial letters.

    Good luck and enjoy, it's really a fun game and I have to say this is one of the best, vying with our Viking duck or is she a goose. The more I play, the more I like and there's still plenty of time. Nice one BP.

    I know the description said medium to hard, but it is not. Although the official event description makes it sound really complicated it is not. As has been said elsewhere, giving each part, type of the cake a simple abbreviation, P for Pink icing, PL for pink layers, Sp for sprinkles icing, etc. I printed out a picture of the cakes, etc., and I put the abbreviation next to each item. I wrote done the abbreviation and was able to get the max points 98% of the time. I only got 14 drops beginning yesterday morning for all 3 mainland fields and partial baha, as I don't have enough trees, animals to fill the fields. I received approx. another 14 today, give or take a few. I am finished. Now just doing the extra. 1st time I have been in this position since can't remember when. It really is worth the effort for the weasel, cloud row and BB's. I didn't use any time extenders. Just give it a try. It would be terrible to waste what is really an easy event.

    Thank you BigPoint. This Cake event is a winner! :inlove:
    Great prizes, beautiful and funny graphics, and long enough to give everyone a chance to play. My memory is great but short,
    so I was a bit nervous about flubbing the orders. It helped to start off with one cake. I give this bakery 5 stars!

    I really hope your team gets the bugs worked out so everyone can enjoy baking. For me that was the only down side.
    Maybe your QC department could take a break before the final run-through and sign off. Cake for everyone! ;)

    This is now the first even I have completed in about 5 years! Its a hit from me, no emptying barns, no new crops that don't hang around, just a fun even that gave me a coveted weasel hole and my first even cloud row and all givers. Very very happy. I finished early too. Super happy that I have also restocked some animals I was in need of.All in all 11/10 :)

    This turned out to be a great event. At first I was a little put off by what seemed a low drop rate - but then I realized we only needed thirty something to do the WHOLE thing, so I put my fields in crops to take advantage of the extra EP day, and still finished during the second day. Love that we get to keep going if we want. This was a big win from me for all the reasons said above - not a barn emptier, allowed us to do regular farming of whatever type we wanted, and still participate, adorable graphics, and a fun theme. The only complaint from me - now I seriously want some cake!

    Would have been better... had i not had lag and could remember what the cakes were.... have limped along in this event clueless xD
    So far now have collected 27 vouchers ..SO i will try using these tomorrow and hopefully finish the event (Fingers Crossed)
    Have got the cloud row and givers and a few of the other things...so not so bad

    Glad we were given the bakery which has helped with getting these vouchers..
    Because I have changed my fields around a few times trying for better drops...which haven't been great with anything I have tried

    And have tried another browser ... so far i haven't had lag...lags back so isn't the browser:(

    Like the rewards very much and worth playing the event for

    And is a very big improvement to the last event we had;)

    nice to try something different. Graphics, etc are nice as usual (guess we sort of take that for granted, which is wrong.. you always do very well in that).

    wish for 2 things -- a "back" or "oops" button for when we pick the wrong item, and an easy way to see what we have won.

    Also, might be good to have boosters we could add "midstream" if needed, but not sure about that -- part of the fun is the contest bit.

    I really want to thank the game developers for this event. It is easy to finish to the end. I am a casual player and as such rarely get to finish an event because I don't use the SG or stay close to the game to constantly harvest and re-plant event crops. The drop rate is slow, but the event it very doable because of the long time period. I finished this evening. I like that there is NO event crop, and that the only drop item I need to have is a ticket. I hate waiting for large amounts of drop items, event crops and lots of milling of event products. This required little skill besides paying attention. I like the graphics, the ability to pace ones' self at his own pace, and the prizes were great too! I finally got the weasel pen, which I had been trying to get for a long time. Thanks so much for a nice, easy and fun event that had no stressful components to it.

    Lovely stress-free event!
    I already finished, but still playing for the small rewards, because it's fun!
    At first I got anxious because of the low drop-rate, but it really was no problem getting enough vouchers!
    Yaay! ^_^
    (I think there is no "back" button, because... well, when you bake a real cake, you can't just change the dough/scrape off the icing so easily! You have to make a new one! :D)

    Well I'm going to start by saying what I like most about this event is basically the sticker is FREE. With the First Three Vouchers giving to us free you can win the sticker with them. Thumbs up I love my stickers ;) The rest of the game was laid back cute and fun. Love memory games. BUT... I also fell the voucher drops were low and you could not gift them but it is a long running game. Over all 8/10

    I liked this game more than the last few - mostly for the same reasons as the others: no long crops to grow or products to mill. I liked most of the rewards - definitely most useful than some we have had. And even though the drop rate was fairly low, I have a lot of trees and stables out, so got enough to easily finish the game. I would have liked to had some choice in how many cakes to decorate, especially after finishing the game. Being stuck with doing the 3 cakes made me not continue, even though I have the tickets to do so. Maybe we could start our own shop and work up again from a new start if we finish the main portion of the game.

    Hi kippenberg. Even if you get all 3 cakes wrong, you get a reward. You can make your favorite cake, or the silliest. Unless the EP and CC reward for left over tickets is more appealing.
    My daughter took pictures with her phone and won about 20 PF, 5 stars and a lot of cc and ep/tep.
     
  17. I agree about having to do three cakes, after completing the game, but you do get some rewards and I have 30 unused tickets. I just go in and do a couple when I have a few minutes to wait for the end of a crop, or mill or trees and want to harvest or restart the mill before closing the game. I just put down the codes I used and I've got some useful EP/powerfeed and Suzi. I'm not sure I want to spend a lot more time on more cakes than shown.

    I think this is one of the most enjoyable and least stressful, even if I messed up a couple of times. It's long enough for even those who are relatively new players to complete and the 20BB was certainly an incentive to finish - as well as the Weasel hole.

    I, literally, now can't find anything to be critical about for this one. I have only trees and stables / workshops out, so get about 18 tickets on a full five field harvest. I'm not sure whether this is low or not, but even with misses, I still finished in a couple of days. I know others may not have all the fields and not get the same number of drops (with event crops, I'm always finding low drops), but I just think this was a winner from BP.

    Nice and laid back, good prizes, but I agree with everyone else about the drop rate. All of my fields are a mix of trees and pens (one whole field of trees in the rainforest); my trophies are maxed out and I have 2 Howies to help out along with the drop boost and to my utter shock this morning when I harvested all of that I got 0 drops - yup 0. That is beyond a joke.

    8)Yaaaaay, Game Team!!!:inlove:
    [​IMG]
    :DCongratulations - you've knocked this one out of the Park!!:D
    I agree with all the positive comments above...including the kind 'criticisms' of what we have Not liked in the past, especially all the crop-growing!
    And I loved the prizes, and the way they were always given(in varying amounts, whether we got everything right or not). Especially the Weasel - now my 'lonely only' has a sweet little friend to play with!

    The drop rate was the only thing surprising...and that was understandable because of the lovely structure of the game itself. If I have any hesitations about this drop rate, it is the way it seemed to be structured, in that we could not have any real effect on it. Mho is still out on that....

    If it helps anyone to feel better about it...I have my Green Meadow dedicated to necessary trees only, including the Jumbos, (with the addition of a great EP giver)......and whenever it was ready for the big harvest - giving 75,000+ to 91,000+ EP's! - I received NO drops from that field!!! And similarly for my field of Neons and Pinks.

    So the drop rate wasn't based on - as observed below - either the browser, or EP amounts. At first this was a shock - really "beyond a joke"!!
    Then it seemed as if the fields were alternated in giving drops (always missing my biggest EP harvests!)
    But....
    This truly seems to make this Event fair for all levels of players. So I have no real complaints on this Event.
    A real winner, Imho. Bravo, Game Team!! It is well paced, and challenging and fun.
    P.S....and NO crop growing!!:D;)
    Thank you thank you thank you!!:inlove::D:music:

    Hopefully, "All's well that ends well."
