Description

A bakery shopfront

This set builds a small bakery that is meant more for display than for play. With only 234 pieces and no minifigures at all, the build takes about an hour. If you want a calm project for a spare evening, it fits the bill: there are no long instruction books and no tricky techniques. The result is a decorative building that sits well beside other Bricktober models and, put together with a few of them, makes a pleasant little row of shops.

Why so much trans-clear

The colour mix is unusual. Trans-clear comes first, followed by black, light bluish grey and dark blue. The transparent parts form shop windows and glazing, the kind you would look through to see the counter display. Black and dark blue give the house its outline, while light grey handles the walls and base. The overall look is darker and more nocturnal than a typical colourful town set, and it shows to best effect when the model sits on a shelf with some lighting.

37 part types, many used repeatedly

There are 37 different part types, which is a fairly low variety for 234 pieces. In other words, many identical bricks, plates and window elements appear several times. That makes the build pleasantly even, and it is handy when you rebuild later, because standard shapes drop easily into other houses. The complete list with colours and quantities is further down this page, in case you want to check the contents or look for a replacement piece.

Giving the parts a second life

Once the bakery is standing on the shelf, it is quickly taken in, and the more interesting part begins: reuse. With the What can I build? tool you can see which other sets could be assembled from these parts and the rest of your collection. The transparent elements suit windows, display cases and lamps, while the dark bricks work for roofs and frames. A small promo set thus becomes a useful parts box for bigger town projects.
