You Freed the Cupcakes, Free the Rest!
The recent update added base game cupcakes to the regular cooking menu. This is awesome! However, many food items from Get to Work are still trapped within the confines of the cupcake machine. Can t...

I don't want to be a party pooper, but I don't think they will make it possible, because otherwise the cupcake machine would essentially become a useless object.
@GiardiniDiMarzo , i see what you are saying, and you are probably right, but it is still frustrating. I still think the Cupcake Machine has some use since it can be used for storytelling, or for builders who want to make a large bakery. 😉 I have one that I use at a Cheff's house to "practice" on her family, and even if there were to add the extra baked goods to the ovens,. I would still keep it since it is fitting for a baker or chef to have one.😄 I also added one to one of my universities with a cheat, because it seemed like some kind of kooky vending machine (basically, it fit into the story that I was telling in both instances!) But it is still nice to be able to make everything be available to normal Sims, or for Sims who live in apartments or tiny houses! 😉

That's ironic because for me, the cupcake machine is already a useless object. I've literally never used it, and this is the first time I'm even learning that you can make anything besides cupcakes with it, lol. It would be a heck of a lot more useful for players like me to be able to bake those other things in an oven instead. On the other hand, if they freed all the recipes, there's nothing stopping someone who is still inclined to use the cupcake machine for storytelling reasons from using it. I honestly don't see a downside to freeing all the recipes. I look at it like having bathtubs and showers in the game. They'll both get your sim clean, but you can still choose which one you'd prefer to have in your sim's home or which one to use at a given time.
Seconding this. I have been using a mod for a smaller cupcake machine since it was made because if you live in an apartment, owning the cupcake machine for baking is just unfeasible. I already never used it, on purpose. But console players don't have that option, so I really hoped they would free the rest of the baking skill recipes too, for their sake. What's even more annoying is that by going back and tweaking them to use other pack ingredients, they had to have noticed that they were still locked to the giant machine, right? But if they intentionally want to keep some of the recipes cupcake machine exclusive only, can't they communicate that to us?
I wish they'd do this too. I keep adding basements and utility rooms for the infernal cupcake machine. Sometimes you just want a cute little cottage for a baker but they have to fit in this ginormous contraption. They lose fun very quickly while using it too, so my Sims are telling me they don't like it either...I don't always listen to their complaints but this time we agree!🧁
