Okay so I might have dropped the ball on this one
. After going through thousands of search results I stumbled upon this
blog post from BonBonBunny.com about a game called Bread ‘n Butter. It's a browser based bakery management simulator, that has little mascot guys, stock management, a shop screen, multiple interactive mini-games, not a whole lot of pink, and is not even pixel art!
Now I'm not sure if I was simply misremembering or if I'm mixing some details with yet another browser based bakery sim but I'm really glad to have found Bread ‘n Butter again! It was an addicting game that I spent hours playing! But from what I can gather, the game likely only had a lifespan of a single year which is a real shame
Aside from the blog post, there are two remaining Youtube videos depicting gameplay:
And there is an archive of the
game's homepage which preserves some assets. (While the archive is from 2010, it's safe to assume this was an abandoned page, given that the latest news and page copyright are from 2008. There is also no mention of Bread ‘n Butter on the developer, Outspark's main website post 2008.)
