Bakery guide in Farming Simulator 25: Cake and bread production
Producing bread, cakes and other flour products in Farming Simulator 25 can bring huge profits. But to make it successful, you need to set up a production chain that will work as efficiently as possible. And this is not such an easy task. Especially if you are new to this business. So let's get straight to the point!
Harvesting: Where It All Begins
Bread and cake production starts with growing essential crops. The production of bread and pies starts with the cultivation of the main crops. Wheat, barley, sorghum, long grain rice, oats, sugar beets and sugarcane are mandatory. As they are essential raw materials for the production of future ingredients for bread and cake production.
Wheat and barley are needed for flour production, while sugar beets are needed for sugar production.
It is recommended to grow these crops yourself. Because if you use your own crops to produce bread and cakes, as the cost of ingredients will be less if you use your own raw materials. Therefore, it is more profitable than buying flour, sugar and other ingredients. However, the growth and development of any crop is a long and laborious process. So, be sure to read the article on how to increase yields from your fields on FS25Planet if you are not already familiar with such methods.
Grain Processing: Flour for Your Bakery
The next step is sending your grains to the mill. The game offers both small mills and large facilities. Choose one that matches the scale of your farm.
At the mill, grains are turned into various types of flour:
Wheat, barley, sorghum, and oats produce regular flour.
Long-grain rice and rice make rice flour.
To simplify logistics, enable the "Distribution" option in the production menu. This will automatically send flour to your bakeries, saving you from transporting it manually.
Sugar Production: The Sweet Base
Sugar is a key ingredient for cakes and other sweets. To produce sugar, you’ll need a sugar mill, which also comes in different sizes (use the construction menu to place it).
You can process crops like sugar beet, chopped sugar beet, and sugarcane to produce sugar.
As with flour, set up automatic sugar distribution to deliver it to your bakeries or dairy farms for chocolate production.
Dairy Products and Eggs: Farms Are Essential
Bread and cakes also require milk, butter, and eggs. To produce these resources, establish a farm with chickens and cows:
-
Eggs: Chickens produce eggs that need to be manually transported to the bakery using a transport trailer.
-
Milk: Cows produce milk, which will also be needed to produce baked goods. At the dairy farm, the milk can be turned into butter and other dairy products. Use a tanker truck for transportation.
Don't forget to deliver the milk and butter to the bakeries for use in making bread and cakes.
Fresh Berries: The Final Touch
Cakes also require strawberries. The best way to obtain them is by setting up greenhouses, ensuring a steady and predictable yield of berries.
Place greenhouses near your bakeries to simplify strawberry transportation. Use strawberries to decorate your cakes and boost their value.
Baking and Selling
When all the ingredients are ready, all that remains is to set up production. The bakery needs flour, sugar, dairy products, eggs and strawberries to create bread and cakes.
Bread is a simple product that can be quickly made from flour.
Cakes require more ingredients but generate more profit.
After production, take care to sell your product at the right time. This is very important because product prices can change depending on the season. And maximum profits are maximized during periods of high demand. Also, consider selling additional products such as chocolate, cheese and butter separately to increase profits. But this is a topic for a separate guide. We will definitely talk about the production of these products in another article.
Tips for Successful Production
-
Automate Processes: Set up automatic distribution of flour and sugar to save time on logistics.
-
Use Greenhouses: Strawberries from greenhouses are more stable and profitable than seasonal field harvests.
-
Optimize Costs: If you’re just starting, rent production equipment to minimize expenses.
-
Expand: Over time, add more bakeries and processing plants to increase production volumes.
