Chapter 596: How Much Further Would He Go?

||Lucas||

"Once again, congratulations to the finalists! We'll gather here for the last time in two weeks! All the best with your preparations!"

The head judge's words were received by loud applause, coming from the participants and the spectators. Lucas was among them. His face was beaming with pride and joy.

He successfully advanced to the final round!

Relief and pride flooded Lucas' heart. He fondly gazed at his creations for the second round — lemon thyme shortbread cookies and coconut hibiscus cake[1].

After pondering which baked goods he should make for the botanical theme, Lucas finally chose these two desserts.

The late Grandpa Chen used to bake these cookies and cakes using the herbs grown in his yard. He used the same recipe for the cream frosting.

Slowly, people started leaving the hall. Lucas took the time to pack the cookies and cakes. He wanted to bring them back like before.
