How the Magical Bakery Was Designed
admin
I spent about a week designing the bakery that appears in the second Ranunculus Bakery film.
It is one of the locations I was most particular about, and it also gives the movie its title, since this bakery’s specialty is pull-apart bread.
To design the bakery, I took around seven days, first translating my imagined interior into text and then drawing floor plans to make sure there were no contradictions in the script.
It all started from my own rough, hand-drawn Japanese sketches.
Because this is a magical bakery, I did not want a simple, generic square or rectangular layout; I knew I wanted to incorporate some curved elements.
The first of these is the bread display table.
Instead of the neat, minimal shelves you see in a typical bakery, I pictured bread crammed in everywhere, almost like an all-you-can-eat bread buffet.
Among the piles of bread, of course, is the pull-apart bread.
There are so many loaves stacked up, and fresh ones are constantly being added, sending up little clouds of steam; it all looks so delicious that I actually got hungry while working on it.
Whenever a new batch comes out of the oven, the staff ring a bell to let everyone know.
