The Royal Academy of Magical Baking

In a realm where magical professions tend to align within family trees, Lyra Treble is an unusual ingredient. Everyone expected her to follow in her parents' footsteps and become a bard, but she's gained entrance to the Royal Academy of Magical Baking, the most exclusive, prestigious institution of its kind in all the land. The academy is everything Lyra dreamed of and more. She loves the rigorous curriculum, the strict but fair professors, and her new friends-turned-family. But with a limited number of slots open for next year, her culinary future isn't guaranteed.

No longer is the world of baking bound to the three traditional disciplines of Flavor, Texture, and Presentation. For the first time in the history of the Royal Academy of Magical Baking, there are four students in the second-year class, and Lyra, with the help of her professors, is pioneering a whole new discipline: Enjoyment. But not everyone in the baking community is happy about these developments....

Thanks to Lyra and her friends, Enjoyment is an official part of the curriculum at the Royal Academy of Magical Baking. Now an Apprentice Baker of Enjoyment, Lyra's starting the year full of confidence and excitement. But with the academy still in the throes of transition, not all is easy rolling. On top of the complexities of establishing a new curriculum and adjusting to a new head chef, the professors are handed a chewy challenge in the form of a distinguished first-year student. When they turn to Lyra and her pals for help mentoring the new girl, how can the Whisk Whizzes refuse?
