Story[]
Thousand years ago, a human baker George Beineix presented this dessert to his lover Majo Tourbillon, making it after the meaning of her name, and proposed her. Touched by his feeling and dedication, Majo Tourbillon accepted his proposal. As she was preparing to relinquish her crown and abdicate her throne, Majo Roxanne, her personal chef and close aide, begged her to reconsider the decision. In respond, Majo Tourbillon asked her to sample the cake made by George, which Majo Roxanne did and found it to be both delicious and delicate. Understanding her Queen's decision, she wished for the two happiness and kept the recipe inside her personal cookbook. According to Majo Roxanne, the page containing the recipe and her memory of it vanished the same day the former Queen disappeared into the Cursed Forest following the grief of losing her son, and her grandchildren abandonning her. It was later revealed that Majo Tourbillon did this to seal off the sadness of losing George and outliving Anri, and unfortunate, along with the time of their happiness.
Followed George's untimely demise, Majo Tourbillon occassionally made the cake for her son Anri and her grandchildren whenever she missed her husband. The recipe was passed down from generation to generation, remaining in the present day with Robbie Beineix's family. Majo Monroe also came across the dessert sometime between this period, and taught it to Momoko. Her twin sister, Majo Vanilla, also searched for this legendary recipe to no avail, and eventually made it as a challenge toward the Ojamajo in their final dessert exam. The Ojamajo, realizing that George must had made the dessert after the former queen's name, successfully recreating it, winning the contest and restoring Majo Roxanne's memory.
The dessert is eventually used to remind Majo Tourbillon of her happy memories with both her husband and her son, dispelling the illusion of her sadness, breaking the spell on the Cursed Forest, and revealing her true self to everyone, albeit still sealed within the six brambles of sadness atop the Lifewood tree.
