That's why I do cakes and pies and groups of things like doughnuts or cupcakes. The big seller in a bakery is bulk, not single servings. That's what the cafe object is for.
Yes, cakes are a great idea. But I would love for my sim to be able to sell single donuts or single cupcakes, I know it wouldn't bring a lot of money but it is cute and realistic.
Oh well, it is what it is I guess. I wish we had a better way to do it, also to be able to sell the bread in a proper way instead of the loaf on a plate.
The way it's set up, if you want to sell single items like a Starbucks, build a cafe. You can call it a bakery if you want. If you want to sell in bulk like a Mrs. Fields, then use the cupcake machine.
But sims can't run a cafe, that's the shame.
Correct me if I'm wrong because I have never tried this, but if you add the cafe object to a lot other than a cafe lot type, can your sim man the object like you can a bar?
I think so. In the pic I posted above, I had the cafe counter, and Frank just hired a barista when he was open. It didn't function well though and sims never seemed to order from it. As a retail venue, they only came in to buy from Frank. I imagine a sim could open a retail, but they would likely have to make the drinks and things and have them already on the counter for sale.
