In the first round of the Cake Grand Prix, Group A is up against a group of third-year boys and a girl who have their sweets featured in Salon de Marie. Ichigo, Kashino, and Andou are easily able to come up with their pound cakes. But Hanabusa can't seem to get his rose water pound cake to come out the way he wants it too. He then gets frustrated and runs away, but Ichigo follows him. He explains to her (because she's a girl) that the rose water was a gift from his deceased father and how important it was to him.
