I usually like this event (as much as one can like something that has to be done way too many times), but in this new version the sprinkles are a little too similar for my old eyes to distinguish, so I may end up skipping this one.

 

This event has been made more difficult than it was in the past. The old version was difficult, this one seems impossible.

 

I've never been fond of this event, but I'm so appreciative of the pinkest pie recipe being included and I now finally have it. The graphics for the cupcake items are small, it's not easy to see them clearly. I think making them bigger would be very helpful in a future version of this event. The CR is decent but it would be nicer to have if it was 24 hour or less reset, instead of 27.

 

I get all of these cakes wrong because I can't see the sprinkles.

 

I have won 'the art of baking sticker' but can't find/place in the stickers book. Help!

 

As said above, the sprinkles are too similar to one another and hard to see on some of the icings. This would be fine if we had adequate time to scrutinize, but in my opinion the timer is rushed and makes this stressful and definitely depletes the enjoyment. Everything else about it is fine, the requirements, the prizes, all of the usual stuff is good, and the graphics are lovely as always. I don't like timed events in general so I may not represent the feelings of the community as a whole, but I find this one stressful.

 

Go to the Farmhouse (to the right of your Barn) and you will see a picture of the Sticker Album on the top right side.

 

Thank you illy, it is in the farmhouse sticker book. Now I am wondering how to put it in the Stunning Sticker Album which has three books: yellow, orange and red (I am still on the yellow) the baking sticker isn't showing up in this Album

 

Ah, okay, sorry. Some stickers are not included, I have no idea why. I had problems a couple of seasons ago with my Yellow Album. If you cannot see it, I suggest you go to the Tech section and ask if they can find it for you and if you an use it in the Stunning Sticker Album(s).

Edit: I just checked and I have got that sticker and found it in available stickers in the Stunning Sticker series - do you know what it looks like? It has one animal (?) on top of a pig alongside a four tier cake to their right. I hope this makes sense!

 

I think it's a sheep atop a bunny atop a pig, there's a picture of it in the FAQ (https://board-en.farmerama.com/threads/the-art-of-baking.49964/) -and below it we see the three of them interacting in the Porky's dozen giver-.

Going into this event I found it very difficult and kept failing, but after figuring out how to do it I've started to rather enjoy the game. Lovely to have more stuff to do beside growing crops.

 

The 5 second time limit to see the cake requests is too short for multiple cakes. Even with a time booster that allows 8 seconds is too short. Previous editions granted more time which would make this event enjoyable.

This change of making all cakes only 5 seconds to see makes it impossible for me to record them using pen and paper which was my usual method. I moved to using my cell phone and that worked well for me, but for those who do not have that option, it makes this event impossible.

 

I have realised there is a Stunning sticker album and i have no idea what it is
