Happy March!
As per usual, please check out our Winner’s Showcase to see last month’s winners.
NEW GAME: Baker's Kitchen
Baker's Kitchen is a mess, can you help them craft a successful recipe? Submit 2-3 items once per day and see what the result is! A successful result will award either the crafted item or recipe along with a chance at additional prizes like crumbs, Bakers Grab Bag, or a pet! Failed recipes will reward either Mysterious Sludge or nothing. You can find it in the Games Room or click here to check it out!
NEW ITEMS: Foraging Additions
Two new mushrooms have been added to Foraging: Hen of the Woods Mushroom and Beefsteak Mushroom. Maybe these will be useful to Baker?
UPDATE: MotM Voting
Voting for MotM wasn't ready in time for a rollout last month so we have pushed to this month! The voting page is linked under the Activities menu beneath BC voting and ready to go for the 25th!
All activities have been rolled over and are ready for the new month!
Featured Midveilers to be added once we hear back from this month’s winners.

Happy February!
As per usual, please check out our Winner’s Showcase to see last month’s winners.
UPDATE: Expanded Workbench Levels
Levels 7-10 of the Crafting Workbench have been released! Once you reach the new levels you can craft new weapons using ingredients from the lower levels. Additionally, the recipes for the three pre-Workbench weapons have been adjusted, as have their market sell prices.
COMING SOON: New Quests and Random Events
A selection of new quest hub quests and random events are in the works! These are being targeted to utilize (and reward) newer items that haven't yet been incorporated and will be released later this month. A changelog will be posted when they are live!
ACTIVITY UPDATE: Member of the Month Voting
As a reminder from last month's newsletter, one winner for Member of the Month will be decided via user voting! This voting will open later this month alongside the voting for Behr's Beauty Contest, so be sure to get your entries in!
PATREON UPDATE: As a notice for patrons, the Repair Kit blueprint from last month's goodie bag can now be added to your collections and is craftable in the Workbench! Likewise the Enchanted Hammer is now live. If you have an Enchanted Hammer in your inventory and an item currently crafting, you will now see a “skip” button on the Workshop page to the right of the remaining time. Clicking this button will (after a confirmation prompt) use your Enchanted Hammer to immediately finish the crafting process! This can be used on any craft with time remaining, but we recommend saving them for the higher level recipes with a lengthy craft time! (Note: For the time being the Enchanted Hammer can skip both Workbench and Cooking timers but this may change in the future.)
All activities have been rolled over and are ready for the new month!

Happy New Years, Strudel Cafe!
As per usual, please check out our Winner’s Showcase to see last month’s winners.
We thank you all for spending another year with us, and to our newcomers, we hope you enjoy your time with us this year. 2023 will be a bit different in terms of updates and events. In order to keep everyone on the same page, we’ll be going over what you can expect from this year.
Due to limited resources, we will be cutting down on some of the activities we offer. These activities were popular at our species’ inception, however, as we have grown over the past few years, we’ve seen a drastic decrease in participation. Activities such as Part-Timing and Random Contest will be discontinued until further notice. Next month, the Monthly Prompt will be replaced with a monthly user gallery that will operate similarly to Behr’s Beauty Contest. Members can submit their proudest works, and the winner will be voted on! The winner will be one of the Midveilers of the Month, with the second being rolled from the previous Midveiler of the Month entrants as happens now. Homeroom, Great Pet Rescue, Lottie’s Luck, and Crabby Chef will remain unchanged.
Though we are saying goodbye to some activities this year, they will be replaced by some exciting new additions to our site mechanics. This month, we are releasing an extension of the crafting area: the Workbench! In this area, you can turn crafting materials found in the foraging area into weapons and armors. Six levels are being released to start, and will follow with more advanced recipes later on. More projects are in the works, and will be periodically released throughout the year. You will need to have completed 100 Crafted Items to unlock the Workbench. To upgrade or check how many crafted items you have completed, simply visit your unlocked Crafting Workshop.
Events this year will include our annual events such as Enlightened, Shipwrecked, Halloween, and the Advent. We will not be introducing any new events this year. Our efforts will be placed into continuing to improve and add to gameplay. Growth will be slow but steady this year.
We will rebalance the site as necessary over the next few months by observing patterns in crumb earnings. Treats will also be repurposed into new areas.
Some additional notes for this month:
