Description

Soak in the Christmas spirit at the Winter Village Cafe! With a selection of pastries and beverages, it would certainly leave everyone sastified. As night falls, activate the light brick to illuminate the display of pastries, and take some pictures by the giant wreath!

Notes

  • It started out as an idea for a more classic design keeping very much to the classic Winter Village bakery. The curved windows were indeed very hard to replicate in LDD, and the awnings above were even harder. The roof was also, surprisingly hard to get right, and I had to resort to the stacking of slope pieces to get the classic look.
  • The giant wreath was a surprisingly good and fun build, being inspired by my experience on a trip recently where the store decor left me extremely impressed and inspired. The small yet tall podium was similarly conceptualised and built too. In this case, the side decorations are more of a display pieces for minifigs to take pictures with, rather than more practical installations from Lego's winter village line.
  • Of course, no winter village set will be complete without a light brick! (except this year's train, that was indeed disappointing =/) I had included a light brick just sandwiched in the awnings above the curved windows, which is coloured bright red in the above screenshots.
  • 5 minifigures are included, ranging from an elderly shop owner to a family of 4 =)
