7 Days Magic Bakery

At any given time in Second Life we may happen upon a place that tickles our fancy, floats our boat or just plain intrigues us! Unfortunately, time is not always available for these journeys of serendipity. Fortunately for me, there are people in Second Life who are always exploring and on the look out for just such places ( some might call these people adventurers, I call them heroes!).
The latest discovery by one of these said adventurers is a place called 7 Days Magic Bakery. For this I have to award Blu Jupiter (Tribe Estate Manager) Explorer Of The Week Award!! Every time I go to this sim I walk away with a big smile on my face. Perhaps it's my inner child , perhaps it's the fact that they have calorie free chocolate and a plethora of other decadent desserts or maybe, it's just a feel good place where the creator's attention to detail and sense of fun runs rampant.
The TP point will take you to the beginning of the tour , landing you before a cartoonesque character that is strangely likeable and extremely welcoming. A this point I DO encourage you to enable your media as the entire sim is audio interactive and while sometimes audio can grate on your nerves, this one is charming and adds spice to this already tasty treat of a sim. The characters scattered throughout the sim have definite personalities and I couldn't help but feel like I was an extra in one of those cool Dreamworks films. ( Hollywood, baby!) There are a few ways to explore this sim :follow the tour or go explore on your own, or do what I did... go on the tour first and THEN explore on your own.
From a town hall to quaint little cafes that serve tasty treats ( each with a surprise inside), this sim will both amaze and delight. My personal fave .....The Pastry Factory. Here you can conjure up your very own divine treat, ranging from a chocolate swirl to a fruit filled pastry to creme brulee croissants and lots in between. To create your own confection, just take a seat at the beginning of the assembly line , press 'GO" and you too can become a master pastry chef in a matter of minutes!!! . When your masterpiece is finished , it will appear at the end of the assembly line..ready for you to buy ( for 0 lindens) . A bit of an oddity at this point, so be aware that after you BUY your creation, you will need to TAKE it. Voila! Look in your inventory and then click the object and WEAR. Then and only then, will you be able to experience the scrumptiousness of your divine divinty.... and best of all your 'surprise inside' will be revealed!
In the mood for more sugary sweets? Try your hand at making something completely different!! Don't stop there...wander around the factory a bit , see some of the workers on their lunch break and take a peek at the upstairs part of the factory. There's even a theatre on the sim, so grab your snack and head on in.
An interesting aside, some of you might recognize the brand name of 7 Days. It is indeed a division of the real life Greek food conglomerate, Vivartia. This corporate sim is less about business and more about high quality builds and guaranteed fun so 'Bravo' to Involve3d, the company who created this magical sim!
To give you a sneak preview, here are a few pictures of 7 Days Bakery. Make sure to note the expressions on the patron's face....eager to assuage her hunger. Is your mouth watering yet? Never fear...you're just a TP away. Please click HERE for the SLURL!
I hope you enjoy 7 Days as much as I did !! I wonder JUST how many combinations one can come up with and what combination of ingredients would be the most unusual? Let me know what YOU designed and count me in for a taste test....unless of course it contains anchovies !!! Happy Baking!!
