The Sims 3 Store Will Soon Be Baking Fresh Delights Every Day for Your Sims

Hey Simmers, We’re back with another fresh-out-of-the-oven release. Your Sim will not be able to walk past the new Deliciously Indulgent Bakery venue without being tempted to go inside and try everything!

When your Sim walks inside, the Baker's Bazaar Collection’s assortment of baked goods can only be described as delicious, yummy and utterly divine. . I’m sure your Sim has never seen such a beautiful array of organic, locally sourced, baked goods.

Nom, nom, nom!

If your Sim’s dream is to own their own Bakery, look no further. The Baker's Bazaar Collection is the only way to sell your Sim’s baked goods! If it’s after 7 pm in-game put those almost-day old baked goodies on sale!

If you’re Sim is like mine, they’re probably obsessed with all things cupcake related, which is why I can’t wait to talk to you about the Baker’s Station and everything it can do.

You can bake breads, pies, cakes, cobblers, and cupcakes with the Baker’s oven.

Cookies, cakes, and cupcakes. Did I mention cupcakes? These mini bites of deliciousness also include cinnamon rolls!

If you have the Bohemian Garden Set, you can also use those fruits and nuts in a variety of new pie recipes. Look at how beautiful those pies come out.

Pre-heat your ovens, the Deliciously Indulgent Bakery is available on The Sims 3 Store today, April 3rd 2014!

Fresh Out the Oven in April 2014!

SimguruCopeland is here to share some news!

"I’m so glad we can start talking about the Deliciously Indulgent Bakery that’s coming in April! I must have added ten pounds just designing this venue. But now that SimGuruTaterTot has posted this exciting new image, let’s grab a cupcake and chat a bit about what all you’re seeing in this picture.

First of all, this is our first look at some of our exciting new Premium Content items, called the Baker’s Bazaar Collection! This includes the Delightful Dessert Display, the Rustic Bakery Rack, the Baker’s Sales Rugs (not pictured) and Sweet Nothing Simoleon Register. 

These items allow you to display any food that your Sims can make and sell them similar to the Savvy Seller’s Collection but with a few notable exceptions. To begin with, the Savvy Seller’s Collection restocked items so that Midnight Hollow always had full shelves for your Sims to shop. But with the Bakery it’s your Sims job to create all of the delicious desserts to keep your customers happy. Note that this particular change means that bakeries that aren’t owned by your Sim tend to sell out after a day or so, but that should cut down on too many rival bakers.

Since you don’t want all of that food going bad, the displays are all refrigerated (or in stasis, or using preservatives or whatever helps you feel better about how your food isn’t rotting after a few hours.)

While this venue is a bakery, you can actually sell any food available in the Sims. So if you want to open a Sims Deli, you can make that dream come true!

Making all that food is going to be pretty time consuming, so if you want to hire someone to tend register, you can get that extra help. (FYI: You may notice that we eliminated the notices of Cashiers not being able to make it to work.)

We also have a couple of new rugs that work just like the displays. So you can slide the rugs under counters, tables, etc. and any food placed on top of that item will have all of the sales functionality. This way you can make your bakery your way.

And then there’s the FOOD! Did you see all of that cool new stuff in there? And read all of the Tweets where SimsGuruTaterTot is talking about new recipes that tie directly into the harvestables that shipped with Bohemian Garden? Yeah… we definitely need to grab another cupcake sometime and chat about all of the new food coming with this set. AND the rest of the Premium Content. ‘Cause you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. "

So this is a confirmation. The next store set will be a bakery!! <3 I'm so excited!!
