Hi Everyone, I recently started a Sims 4 Let's Play for the Retail Store Challenge by Airis6962 and Bree Miles.
Dexter Goldstein, is the founder of the challenge. He recently opened Dexter's Delights Bakery in Willow Creek. After the passing of his grandma, all he was left with are some recipes that she had passed down to him and he decided creating a bakery would be the perfect place to continue her legacy. The only slight problem is that he can't bake and so he is having to learn everything from scratch.
I'll be uploading new videos every Monday and Thursday. Part 5 is the most recent upload which was posted on Youtube tonight.
For the Rules to the challenge, please visit the forum post here:

Let's Play - Dexter's Delights Bakery - Playlist
*Edited* I've changed all the videos into links due to issues with Youtube, so each video can be accessed by either clicking the text or pictures from Part 1 onwards.
My YouTube channel and Twitter account have recently undergone a name change and are now Tamz Playz, for everything else I am still My Inner Sim.

As Dexter's Bakery is now built, he is now tasked with learning his grandma's recipes, before the grand opening. Will he succeed and do his Grandma proud, or will it all be for nothing?

After spending his first day baking some delights to sell in his store, the time has now come for the grand opening. Will Dexter manage to sell anything and will he even make any money with Mondays 5% markup against him?

Today is Wednesday which means Dexter has the slightly better advantage of being able to markup his items by 25%. Will this help alleviate the pressure of the high restock price, or will he fall into the red?

It's Thursday and Dexter has the chance of either getting a day off or a 50% markup day. Will he be able to go out into the world and have some well-earned rest or will he be subjected to open the store?

I decided to give Dexter's Bakery a mini renovation so that I could purchase the cupcake factory. After making the bakery a little bit bigger than needed, Dexter didn't have much money left to invest in the store, so I also changed a few things to free up some money for him.

It's Saturday and for Dexter, this is the best day of the week. With 100% markup in his favour, will he manage to get those all-important sales, or will his customers think the prices are just too high?

It's Sunday and Dexter has yet another day off from running the bakery. Dexter is planning to run a themed event in the run-up to Halloween so he needs to find a way to earn some money ready for the themed renovation. Time to test out the cupcake factory and see if it's really worth the cost.
