Plot[]
The episode begins with Blueberry experimenting with ice cream flavors as Raspberry and Strawberry watch confused. From behind a cough is heard and the two are shocked when they see Genoise Lacreme standing behind them. She goes on to say that it’s her birthday and she wants a spumoni ice cream cake made by Blueberry. Genoise gives Blueberry a recipe card and at first Blueberry declines it. Stating that she doesn’t need one and she’ll make it her way. However Genoise perseists and tells her to follow her nana’s recipe exactly. Blueberry looks at it concerned before Strawberry and Raspberry inform her that was talking to Genoise. Strawberry tells her that Blueberry should be honored to make an ice cream cake but Blueberry is still hesitant. She at first tries it on her own but Strawberry and Raspberry look at it worried. Strawberry points out that the cake is supposed to be green and pink to which Blueberry says that she went in a different direction. Raspberry reminds Blueberry that Genoise was very specific that she wanted the cake in the recipe. Strawberry offers to help but Blueberry denies it saying that it’s her process. She throws her other attempt away and starts trying to decipher the writing.
A small figure of herself dressed in red appears and tells her to throw the recipe away and live in the now. It starts to pull on her ear before another figure of herself appears. The angel tells Blueberry to try her best to make Genoise happy since it is her birthday. It asks for her first ingredient and Blueberry can’t tell. The red counterpart guesses it’s a dance which prompts Blueberry to start dancing. However after seeing Raspberry and Strawberry look confused she tries her best to concentrate. The second time she looks at the recipe card purple letters form from it and starts swirling around her like a vortex. The mini Blueberry’s start arguing which only confused Blueberry more. The red counterpart gives her an idea and Blueberry is seen entering a grocery store. She nervously enters the ice cream aisle and picks up a cake. The angel appears and tells her that she can’t buy a cake and pass it off as her own. However the red counterpart argues that she can do anything she wants. The two argue more before Blueberry shuts the door on them. Turning around she’s shocked to see Strawberry. Strawberry asks what up and at first Blueberry tries avoiding the question by erasing Strawberry’s memory. However when that doesn’t work Blueberry admits the truth.
She reveals that she’s dyslexic and reading recipes is hard for her. So instead she avoids them and makes up her own. Blueberry is embarrassed at first but Strawberry argues that it’s amazing. Strawberry reminds Blueberry of how great her ice cream is and how she does it all without using recipes. Telling her that she’s talented and that Genoise wouldn’t just pick any old ice cream maker. Strawberry offers to help Blueberry read the recipe and the two leave. None of them noticed the two mini Blueberries trapped in the freezer.
Genoise is seen tasting the cake and tells her that it isn’t what her Nana used to make. Blueberry giggles and tells her that she added a touch of turmeric. Genoise tells her that it actually brings out more flavor and calls her brilliant. Strawberry runs up and asks how she knew that Genoise would like it. The episode ends with Blueberry saying that she had a gut feeling as she looks down at her tiny counterparts.
