    I'm glad Frozen Turtle posted that they brought back the red velvet cookies to the oven, I hope that meant in the regular version!!! Because it makes no sense to leave it only on the "Christmas version" when that version is OUTDATED with bugs/issues! For some reason, during the holiday season, TL chose NOT to update Xmas versions, and instead only updated the regular versions. So leaving recipes on those OLD versions is pointless, since many of us quit playing those versions & went back to regular versions due to bugs & issues!

    This whole recipe removal thing was botched! Taking very, very old recipes (incl an 8-coin)... taking things that have nothing to do with seasonal or holidays... taking recipes from specialty appliances. Way too many issues. Very disappointed... but not surprised! TL has proven they simply don't care, plain & simple!

    As to giving "constructive feedback" that Frozen Turtle asks for... I posted a list of taken recipes, and bolded the ones that made no sense to me, that don't appear to be holiday/seasonal. I understand taking foods that are specific to holidays. But basic everyday foods, just because you released them DURING a holiday season does not MAKE them holiday/seasonal! So my "constructive feedback" would be to bring those BACK for say 30 days, and give us a chance to master them... THEN take them away!

    And feedback for the future... take things away SLOWLY... and give us enough advance notice AND most importantly A LIST of what will be taken!! Then again, we've been asking for that list, and I thought it was pretty "constructive" back then... yet we were still ignored. Would have gone much smoother had you just provided a list... common sense & simple!

    Maybe it's just me, or this is old information, but just checked my regular oven on BS Christmas, and the podium cake, love muffins and molton lava is back.

    That's why it was removed. It was part of the World Games app.
    I play all the games but these days I have been showing more interest in Farm, Bakery, and Pet Hotel Story. But I do check the other games like three times a week. =)

    Personally, I'm not holding out any hope we're going to get back any of the removed recipes. The TL staff quote about the poll kinda seems like a diversion tactic to me to focus on the poll/poll results and not the messy removal process or the way it was handled:

    Unfortunately, there was a miscommunication with the Game Teams and recipes which were mastered will not be coming back at this time. I apologize for passing along that information! In regards to these specific recipes which were removed, please do provide us with some constructive feedback. We did bring back some of your favorite Christmas 2011 items this past year, so let us know what your favorite recipes were. No guarantees it will return to the game, but we will definitely pass along the more popular requests. Again, sorry!

    I posted this elsewhere also, but I don't think they should remove recipes from the specialty appliances. Once you buy an oven or whatever with a certain number of recipes you should be allowed to finish them at your own pace. If you want to cook Santa cookies in July you should be able to. They should just remove the appliances for any future sale to make room for new appliances. If they want to remove recipes from the regular appliances they should give several weeks notice of the specific recipe. To me that is the only fair way and giving notice does not harm anyone.

    I never buy more than 4 specialty ovens at a time. Sometimes I buy only 1. With that strategy I have cooked recipes as they came out, and easily mastered them, then looked forward to cooking something else. Realistically nearly every player has the opportunity to master each recipe as it comes out, and have the recipe sit on the counter for AGES.

    I'm happy that some recipes came and went. I focused on them and am done with them. TL, thanks for bringing back the old seasonals during Halloween and Christmas! I cooked A FEW... But really focused on the new seasonals I hadn't mastered, because seasonals are, well, SEASONAL, and likely to be pulled. (Still not happy candy canes are gone from candy cane maker!)

    I only wish that, now and again, if some haven't completed a seasonal goal, that the goal would show up again the next season - only on devices that hadn't completed it - for us to give it another try. This programming is apparantly possible and used with the goals for adding and playing other games. I understand if TL wants to encourage us to play in the moment by NOT returning the option to complete old goals, but the unattainable locked items we see in our menus are a slap in the face for those who cannot buy/cook them.

    I suppose removing the locked item for some would would require the recipe to be removed for everyone... And that's not fun for those who won the goal. I could wait another year looking at mince pie locked in my menu if I knew the goal would reappear next year. But, hey, it's still winter, so a shot at it could still be given... And then seasonal reopenings of goals that only appear on the devices that haven't completed them.

    I may post this in the suggestions thread...
