Here at Sweet Treats Bakery, we make and sell delicious deserts. However, our confections aren't for eating! We use a very special type of flour that makes our treats turn into adorable companions.
Cupcake cats are quiet, solitary creatures. They prefer to be left alone; when they want your company, they'll let you know. That being said, they're not very social, and have a hard time getting along with others, be it cats or dogs. They sleep a lot, but it seems like that's just to conserve energy. Once they're awake, they become extremely playful, and it takes a long time to tire them out again.
Bean bun dogs are essentially the opposite of the cupcake cats. They are loud and highly energetic. They always seem to want company, and become upset if they're left alone for too long. They tend to not realize how much noise they're making or damage they're causing while they're having fun. They are generally happy-go-lucky and very loyal, so they get along well with others, particularly with other bean bun dogs.
{{ RETIRED until Re-Drawn }}
Brownie Bears are neither like the Cupcake Cats nor Bean Bun Dogs. They love to rummage around and get into some mild mischief. They don't mind too much about being alone but certainly do enjoy company. Unlike normal bears, they generally do not hibernate when it becomes to chilly.
Cookie Mice are lovely critters! They love to run and duck, hide and play, toss chocolate chips everywhere! They're not against white chocolate, either! Sometimes they may even be wearing strawberry chips, or an assortment of other flavors! They're one of the most active and loving of the Bakery, constantly running about and playing with the Cupcake Cats, which are their very best friends! Unlike common household 'rodents', a Cookie Mouse will never eat through your walls!

T h e Growth Process //
Most B/C shops grow all pets automatically or after an owner has fulfilled certain requirements. This is not the case with Sweet Treats Bakery. This shop has a growth system that allows you, the owner, to choose when your pet will advance to the next stage. This way, you may keep your pet in an earlier stage for as long as you want - forever, should you wish it - for roleplaying or other purposes. When you decide you are ready for your pet to advance to the next stage, simply post in the Certing Thread with a request, and your pet will grow as soon as the colorists are able to do so!

Dice Games:
â—‹ Suggested Treat prices are 5k each (growing) or 2.5k each (adult).
â—‹ Suggested Edited Treat prices are 5k-15k growing or 2.5k-8k adult.
â—‹ I will roll a certain number of dice or use the random number generator to roll a random number.
â—‹ you will perform the same action (same number of dice, or same range with the RNG) and try to match my number.
â—‹ the first person to match my number wins the pet.
Partner Dice Games:
â—‹ Suggested Treat prices are 5k each (growing) or 2.5k each (adult).
â—‹ Suggested Edited Treat prices are 5k-15k growing or 2.5k-8k adult.
â—‹ you will choose a partner and post the provided code to enter with them.
â—‹ partner A will roll one 20-sided die; they may then leave if need be.
â—‹ partner B will then roll one 20-sided die and try to match their partner's roll
â—‹ the first pair to get matching numbers wins a set of pets.
Dice Battle - FREE:
â—‹ you will have 24 hours to post a specific code to enter the dice battle game.
â—‹ after 24 hours, I will pair up people and roll a 20-sided die.
â—‹ then each pair of people will roll a 20-sided die, each one trying to get closest to my roll; you have 24 hours from the time that I rolled to do your rolling or forfeit the game.
â—‹ whomever was closest to my roll gets to advance to the next round; whomever was not is eliminated from the game.
â—‹ in the case that both people in a pairing get the same number, both people must re-roll.
â—‹ in the case that both people in a pairing get equally close to my number - for example, my number is 8; person A gets 7 and person B gets 9 - the person who did not get higher than my roll will advance.
â—‹ in the case that there is an odd number of entrants, I will pair up with them; I will then roll as if I were a contestant trying to get my roll closest to the goal number that was already rolled.
â—‹ there will generally be multiple rounds that span over a few days before one person emerges victorious and wins the pet.
Post-A-Picture/Video:
â—‹ Suggested Treat prices are 5k each (growing) or 2.5k each (adult).
â—‹ Suggested Edited Treat prices are 5k-15k growing or 2.5k-8k adult.
â—‹ I will give you a theme, like "lolcats" or "cthulu".
â—‹ you will post one image or video pertaining to the theme.
â—‹ the people who post the videos/images I like the most will win a pet.
â—‹ one entry per person - no editing your entry.
â—‹ you may not proxy but if you win you may give your prize to someone else.
â—‹ keep all entries PG-13! Swearing is fine as long as it's not excessive. Avoid sexual references.
The Spelling Game - FREE:
â—‹ I will post a phrase and a list of the numbers that correspond with the letters' place in the alphabet.
â—‹ you will use Gaia to randomize a number between 1-26.
â—‹ for each number that you roll that matches one in the phrase, you may "cross it off"; you only have to roll each letter's number once.
â—‹ if you roll a number that is not part of the phrase, just try again.
â—‹ once someone has rolled each of the numbers in the phrase, they win the pet.
Rock-Paper-Scissors - FREE:
â—‹ you will roll a single four-sided die; at the same time, post either "rock", "paper", or "scissors".
â—‹ the number that you rolled represents the choice that your opponent would have chosen; 1 is rock, 2 is paper, 3 is scissors.
â—‹ if your opponent's "choice" would have lost to yours, you win a point; the first person to 10 points wins the pet.
â—‹ for example, say you post "paper" and you roll a 1 - that means that your opponent used rock, and since paper covers rock, you win a point.
â—‹ in case you're not sure: rock smashes scissors, scissors cuts paper, and paper covers rock.
â—‹ if you happen to roll a 4, you cannot roll again until 5 minutes from the time of the post that got the 4.
â—‹ do not edit your posts - this is cheating, and you will be punished for it!
BINGO - FREE:
â—‹ at the specified time, I will provide a "template" of a bingo card for you to fill out.
â—‹ you fill out the bingo card with numbers of your choice, without repeating any numbers; you place one number in each slot, except for the free space; each number should be between 1-50.
â—‹ when the card is filled out, and you're sure that there's no repeated numbers, you post it in the thread.
â—‹ I will then collect all of the cards and post them together; if you are caught editing your card once the game has started, you will be disqualified from the game!
â—‹ if, once the game has started, you realize that you've got a repeat, please say so; we will stop the game for a short time to allow you to choose a new number for one of the spots that have repeats, as long as it is not a number that has already been rolled.
â—‹ I will roll numbers between 1-50 using Gaia's random number generator.
â—‹ post your card every time I roll a number, even if none of yours match; if one of the numbers that I roll matches a number you have on your card, make that number have bolded and red font.
â—‹ the first person to get a column (vertical) or row (horizontal) and make the word "BINGO" on their card have red font will win!

â—‹ you will roll a single six-sided die and post a reply, such as, "Navy blue!"
â—‹ the first person to match my number will get that attribute added to the pet I am making.
â—‹ when all of the questions have been answered, I will compile a list of participants and roll one of them to keep the pet I just made.
