New princess theme!

The new goals arrived at bakery story last week and its pretty princess themed goals, I thought it might be spring goals this time, but I am quite liking these goals at the moment, they're quite Disney like! Please leave a comment below and tell me what you think.

My Bakery!

Thought you may want to see what my bakery  looks like, I tried to create a 50s diner feel i used the common diner black and white checked tiles on the floor and added splashes of red by using retro style chairs. To add a touch of  music into the bakery, I put saxophones and concert posters on the walls. Diners are well known for milkshakes and ice creams, so i thought that the ice cream parlour would be a nice touch.
