Pastry of Knowledge
The Pastry of Knowledge is a dessert which is considered one of the seven wonders of Eden Academy. It is supposedly created by a pâtissier who appears at the cafeteria unannounced and prepares the pastries. The type of dessert can change each visit, in Chapter 42 it was the "Pierre Pommier Macaron Set."
