Ichigo is hard at work polishing their skills for the finals, and Ichigo tries to perfect her own strawberry tart without using her grandmother's recipe. But try as she might she just can't come up with something that's good enough to win at the World Cake Grand Prix level... It seems like unless it's the strawberries that her grandmother grew behind the shop, there's no way she can make a tart up to that standard. But with the garden long abandoned, and the shop itself being back in Japan, how could Ichigo ever hope to find the answer? Maybe the Heiress can actually be of help for once...

Back in Paris to prepare for the finals, Ichigo finds some scrumptious strawberries in the market, and wishes she had her grandma's recipe for the strawberry tart that had vanished from her recipe book. Meanwhile Kashino finds another vanished recipe in a book he checked out from the library... In this book, the Spirits discover traces of Sweets Spirits where the recipe was! Ichigo decides to head to the Sweets Kingdom to search for the old woman Spirit who gave her the spoon, because she thinks she might have been her grandma's spirit and know where the recipe could be! But things don't go smoothly for Ichigo at all...

Team Ichigo has been travelling all around Europe, following the instructions from Ms. Sully, on what seems to be a grand European tour! Upon arriving to their latest destination, Neuschwanstein Castle, however, Henri-sensei appears and announces that the rematch with Team Koshiro will happen that evening. They are told to create a variety of bon bon chocolats, but everything else is up to them! What incredible treats will they create this time?

Team Ichigo and Team Koshiro are invited to a ball on Mont Saint-Michel, but it's not all a party for these two semi-final opponents in the World Cake Grand Prix.

And that is, if she even manages to get there in time!

Ichigo and Kashino head off to a three-star pâtisserie for three days of hands-on training, but the owner of the shop, Monsieur Blanc, is a pretty intimidating person. Although the shop is somewhat run-down, the sweets he makes are top-class, especially the large number of dried fruits and jams he uses as ingredients. But, something seems missing from the shop... Before dinner, Ichigo sees Monsieur Blanc looking up mournfully at the orange tree in the garden behind the shop, and she realizes that not a single sweet for sale used oranges... But, why?

Team Ichigo has decided to use hand-made gelato in the first round "Food Wagon" competition, and they ask the landlady if they can use the equipment from her old gelato shop.

And would that even be enough to win without offering something a bit more special? Then, on the morning of the competition, a chill wind blows... literally! How can Team Ichigo sell gelato when it's so cold out?
