Clementine Rose is bursting with plans for the school holidays! But with the announcement that a new cooking show will be filmed in the village, everything changes. While Clementine is disappointed that her activities have been cancelled, she soon has an idea and takes to the kitchen in a baking frenzy. If only her mother wasn't feeling so sick and could help out when things turn sticky.

With the main event being held at Penberthy House, Clementine has the inside scoop and spies some surprising behavior from the contestants. Will she uncover a secret? And will the show be a flop, or a scrumptious success?
