Bakery Story Gems and Flies

Lately my days have been consumed by an overwhelming dread of Bakery Story’s freakish flies infesting my confectionery.  Although I get a bit queasy every time I open the Bakery Story app on my iPhone or iPad to find this vile creature, I cannot bring myself to delete the application for I have grown very fond of my cute little bakery with donut tables, cupcake seats, and a platter of pretty cakes, pies and cookies.

I’m not the only one who finds joy in playing this game, as the Bakery Story app has even become a social platform for me and my friends who like to visit each other’s bakeries and write messages on walls, leave tips, and compare designs & decorations.  My friends any I exchange secret recipes and for those of my friends who have not already downloaded the app and converted, I invite them on Facebook until they are forced to join the community of Bakery Story members.  (If you haven’t joined either, go to the app store (or Android market) NOW and install Bakery Story so we can play!)

One of the best things about this online iPhone/iPad application is that it’s FREE!  But don’t get tricked into buying gems (by taping the blue gem icon) unless you’re willing to spend money.  There are ways to receive free gems, and TeamLava sometimes gives them away through competitions on their forum or by installing one of their other games like Restaurant Story or Fashion Story.  Also, if you keep cooking you will receive free gems at level 2 and 4 mastery of each recipe.

As for avoiding the scary cyber flies, you can do one of two things. 1 – Allow push notifications from Bakery Story app so you remember to serve your food on time or 2 – close your eyes tight and tap to manage the spoiled food, then throw it in the trash as fast as you can!
