Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
  • Acquire ingredients — Choose exactly one ingredient tile from the ingredient display; pay its cost and place it near your player board; the ingredient display does not refill during this action.
  • Acquire recipes — Take one or two recipe tiles from the recipe display; pay the coin cost; store up to three recipes; discard/relocation rules apply when spaces are filled.
  • Bake — Choose one or two recipes from the top of your board and pay the required ingredients and goods; spend icons appropriately; bake pastries, flip finished recipes to their cooled side and place on a cooling rack.
  • Bonus action — In addition to the main actions, you may take a bonus action listed on your card; then play passes clockwise.
  • Buy goods — Choose one type of good (flower, sugar, or butter) and buy one or more units by paying the total cost shown on your board; you can only buy one type per action.
  • Decorate — Choose one or two baked pastries without toppings and, for each, use an ingredient tile with a topping icon to apply a topping; each pastry can have at most one topping.
  • deliver — Choose one or two pastries; decide to sell them or present them at a table; selling yields coins based on pastry prestige; presenting places the pastry on a table and may grant a bonus; toppings move to the decorations track if applicable.
  • Gain income phase — All players gain a base of five coins, plus any income from successful decorations and noble hosts; after that, the start player passes and the next round begins.
  • Give notice — Choose a staff card from your inventory to remove from the game and gain coins based on the card's notice value; you must keep at least four staff cards in total.
  • Hire — Take a staff card from the hire display by paying its cost; you may also hire star staff cards for free if conditions are met; at most one star staff can be hired per game, tracked by an ownership marker.
  • Place service staff or noble host — Place an ownership marker on a service staff space connected to a presentation table (paying the indicated cost) or place a noble host on an empty space (paying the cost); nobles provide ongoing income and end-game scoring based on opponents' service staff; service staff can grant immediate benefits when connected to pastries.
