Yes, I know, I needed to do this ages ago. The Widget Factory is gone, despite our complaining. We're stuck with the Sweets Factory. So, to make the best out of a bad situation, I will present this tips volume to help you get the most out of it. (Note, this guide will replace the Widget Factory guide in previous versions of my tips.)
Before starting to bake, you need to know there are tricks to getting more money out of this: having a lot of friends (preferably over 50 in your crew), having a LOT of time on your hands, and timing everything exactly.
Friends: For the first aspect mentioned above, you NEED friends. Each baked good gets a bonus when taken out of the oven, based directly on how many friends you have. These are in addition to the actual amount you make for baking it. Different bonus amounts are given for having 2, 5, 10, 20, 35, or 50 members in your crew.
Invested Time: As I mentioned, you must have time on your hands to actually make out good. Basically, even though it may not seem like it, using the cheapest recipe on schedule multiple times a day will yield you more coins than saving up for the most expensive recipes. So, to make out best, getting in every 4 hours to bake chocolate chip cookies will be most beneficial. (I will go more into depth on how this works out.)
The very first time you go in, you will be given a few ovens with freebies to start you off. But let's veer away from newbie stuff and talk about your average visit to the Sweets Factory. Generally, if you time everything right, each time you come in you will have a bunch of ovens with baked goods already done.
To give you a "sweet" start to your day, YoVille gives you a bonus of 75-100 YoCoins the first time you bake each day.
So, first you will remove your baked goods from the ovens. This can be done by simply clicking on each oven. Your avatar will move to the oven and remove your item, and you will be paid. (Honestly, ignore the buttons on the bottom, because you really don't need them!)
Once your baked goods are all removed, you will need to clean out your ovens. Again, go around the room and click on each oven. You will be charged 10 YoCoins to clean each one (the main reason people hate this...having to PAY to work), but luckily you will gain 1 YP (YoPoint) for each one.
Once clean, click on the first oven, and a recipe book will come up. Select the recipe that fits your time schedule, and that will be baked. Now you can go around to each oven, clicking on each, and it will continue to bake the item you picked for the very first oven. Again, you need to pay for the recipe you select, so choose wisely. But, you will also earn 1 more YP for each oven baked in.
The last thing to note, is that the times in the recipe guide below have to pretty much be stuck to! If you do not take out your sweets on time, they will burn! (And you will lose all the money you put into cleaning the ovens and paying the recipe price.) You do have a grace period of the same amount of time that it takes to bake an item. So, if you are baking cookies, it takes 4 hours to bake and you have another 4 hours grace period.
This last section will discuss the recipes, and what you can actually make per day with each one. You need to pick recipes based on your schedule. In other words, if you bake before you go to your real life job, and you know you will be away from your computer at least 8 hours, baking cookies is not a smart idea. You should pick something that takes longer to bake, and will be less likely to burn. The totals below do NOT include your daily freebie earnings of 75-100 YoCoins
