Team Ichigo returns home to prepare for the World Cake Grand Prix in Paris, but faces opposition from Kashino's family and Ichigo's stubborn father. Ichigo's old dirty spoon, received during her visit to the Sweets Kingdom, begins to glow. She and Vanilla use the spoon to unlock her grandmother's notebook, allowing the recipes to be read. However, Ichigo discovers that her strawberry tart recipe has been completely erased. The narrative questions the nature of the old spoon and suggests that Ichigo's grandmother may have also possessed a sweets spirit.
