                There's a small shop on the far end of town, just before you hit the country, where there aren't many other shops around.

                The story goes...
                That the baker that lives there, Celeste, used to work for the queen as her personal dessert chef, but she was banished from the castle for using some sort of book... A book of forbidden recipes. Recipes that were supposed to have been locked away for the remainder of the queen's life.

                You see, this book was filled with recipes used for creating special kinds of desserts. The most delicious, wonderful, amazing desserts you've ever dreamed of. If you didn't eat them, however, well... things would happen. Creatures would appear over night, emerging from these desserts! Not to be frightened though! These animals were just as sweet as the desserts they came from. Loving, loyal, caring, and sweet! Oh, were they sweet.

                So... why were they forbidden you ask? After the king died many years ago, the queen began to resent anything happy. It was the prime of their marriage together when he suddenly came down with a horrid disease that no doctor could figure out; let alone cure... The king, in his health, had been very fond of the special desserts. He wouldn't eat them, ever, he'd enjoy the animals' company, and their love. Some even said he enjoyed their company more than the queen's. But as long as he was happy, she was happy.

                But once he died, the queen couldn't bear to see the animals around her kingdom anymore, they were unwelcome memories. She had the book locked away, and hired a new chef, Celeste. The queen just couldn't have the king's old chef around anymore.

                Celeste was young at the time, around twenty-three, and she'd heard the stories, the stories of the magical desserts. Of course, to the commoners, they were just legend! But still, she was curious. She would chat with the guards and the servants, trying and get anything out of them about this legendary recipe book. Finally, when the eldest butler there grew tired of Celeste's nagging and gave in, he explained to her that it was locked away.

                It wasn't hard for Celeste to get the book, she used her beauty and charm to her advantage, persuading the guards into letting her take just a little peek at the book. Little to the guards' knowledge, Celeste quickly copied a few of the recipes down. Just a few. She'd only wanted to see if the stories were true. And who wouldn't?

                It wasn't long before Celeste had baked quiet a few creatures for herself... And it wasn't long before the queen found out, either. Celeste was banished from the castle and forbidden to ever step foot in the castle again.


                The only thing she has left of the years she spent at the castle are a few select recipes she's kept for herself...

Stage 1: A lovely dessert!
A yummy dessert that you have bought from the Bakery, there is a warning label on the box which you received it in. It says: DO NOT EAT! I wonder what would happen if you did eat it... on second thought you better not! Let it sit out for a while, I wonder what'll happen! Lets give it a few days...

Stage 2: Adolescence
Your dessert has changed into an animal?! My my, who would of thought? You've obtained one of the pets from the forbidden book! You better take good care of this youngin'. Feed it with lots of love and affection, cause lord knows it was baked with only that!

Stage 3: Adult
Your delicious sweet has finally grown up! I guess it really was baked with sugar and spice!
You can now breed your dessert and come up with new recipes! You've just got to visit with Celeste again.
Please take care of your yummy treat! For it will treat you well!

        User Image Cakerolls
        Common.
        Cakerolls spend all day rolling around and enjoying the sun. The most energetic of all of Celeste's desserts, Cakerolls' favorite past-time is playing fetch and chasing Flan. Celeste always has trouble getting Cakerolls to come back in when it gets dark out because they hate being shut indoors where rolling around might mess up Celeste's ingredients and Celeste might get mad. Exceptionally loyal and eager to please, Cakerolls are the crowd favorite and you're their favorite, too.


        User Image

        User Image Cinnamon Buns
        Common.
        These cutie pies are... well they're definitely not pies, but they sure do eat a lot of them. Cinnamon Buns would better be called Cinnamon Bums for the lazy bums they are, but when it comes to loving, they’re the sweetest of Celeste’s desserts. Pudgy and fluffy, Cinnamon Buns enjoy simply sitting contentedly in Celeste's lap rather than going on walks with the rest of the pastries. There's easier access to the goodies in her pockets from there anyway.


        User Image

        User Image Flan
        Uncommon.
        The Flan's favorite dessert is pudding. Probably because Flan are a distant relative of pudding, just more on the solid side as desserts go. But just like pudding, Flan are always the favorite of the little kids. Extremely curious, Flan like to go on adventures scouting and exploring the area and only comes home when they want to, not when Celeste tell them to. Flan also like making friends with the neighborhood stray cats and pick up cat-like qualities such as the art of sunbathing, and the art of sass.


        User Image

        User Image Angelfood Cakes
        Rare.
        Angelfood Cakes think they're top rung. I mean, look, they can even fly. How many desserts have you seen that can do that, eh? Angelfood Cakes keep and classy and enjoy the finer things in life. But while they sit high class, it doesn't keep them from being some of the nicest Cakes around. Whenever they seen a Flan being bullied by a Cakeroll, or a Cinnamon Bun scavenging for some treats, Angelfood Cakes are happy to swoop in to help out!


        User Image

        User Image Devil's Food Cakes
        Rare.
        Devil's Food Cakes are the odd ones out in Celeste's Bakery. While all the other desserts love fooling around and are pure sweet sugar, Devil's Food Cakes know a thing or two about the real world. Not everything's fun and games for them, and they stick to what they know. It takes a little bit longer for Devil's Food Cakes to warm up to people, but once they do, they’ll never leave your side.


        User Image

        User Image Jelly Cookies
        Rare.
        Jelly Cookies may look tough but they are happy creatures just like the other desserts. However, hard times are not unknown to a Jelly Cookie, who are often misunderstood by the other furrier and cuter desserts. Due to their tough exterior, many of the other desserts are afraid of them at first glance. Regardless, they love to please Celeste, their maker and unconditional lover, by flying around the kitchen with various tools and spices to help her bake new friends.

          User Image The City
          The bakery sits just on the edge of the city. From here, Celeste can just barely see the castle from where she has been banished from over the rooftops of the city. The city has a Victorian Era feel to it and seems to have grown from the middle outwards, with the center of the city being most densely populated and the castle standing just a mile or so northward. It's a bustling city full of every type of person and nearly everything is sold somewhere in the city. This is a city where everyone's just trying to make a little coin, and if you've already got the coin, you're enjoying it. It's been a while since Celeste's wandered through the musty streets of the city. Nowadays, Celeste spends her time in the Bakery. Flour, eggs and other materials are delivered straight to her, and as for customers, well, face it. You came to her.


          User Image The Kitchen
          The bakery is filled with the sweet smell of fresh baked goods. The kind that permeates the air, so thick that if the smell were anything less delicious, it would be hard to breathe. Celeste hums an old tune as she beats the dough for her latest creation, occasionally peeking into the oven beside her to check on her darling cake rolls. She’s the only person in the kitchen. No assistants. She doesn't trust anyone to keep their mouth closed.

          The room is average sized, not to small, but not big enough to host a party. There’s flour and sugar all over the place. Colorful icing and sprinkles in bottles line a few shelves. Celeste does her best to keep the place orderly, but honestly, it's a kitchen. She bakes so many things a day, that if she put away everything she used, she'd just pull it out again 5 minutes later. Several cartons of eggs and a few gallons of milk stand dangerously close to the edge of a counter top. Pots and pans and all sorts of other baking tools hang on the walls while others are messily shoved in shelves. One false move could make enough noise to wake the dead. Better be careful in here, this is Celeste's sanctified house. This is where she works her magic.



          User Image The Forest
          Behind the bakery is the edge of a forest. No one's ever made a map of the forest, since no one really ever goes in there. Which is actually really convenient since the forest is where most of Celeste's desserts play during the day once she's shooed them all out of her bakery. The forest is perfect -- green canopy held up by sturdy brown trunks. Scattered flowers grow at the bases of the trees and on days when the weather is at its best, the sun streams through the leaves as if passing through a pasta strainer. In this forest, berry bushes provide snacks for the various animals who call this forest their home, and the birds always singing their happiest melody. The forest is so perfect it's as if it's been pulled straight out of a fairy tale book. At least, that's what it seems like from the edge of the forest. Like I said, no one really goes too far in there... no one really knows what the forest’s like deeper in...
