The days that followed were the busiest for Ever as she had to combine her studies with her preparation for the competition. Each day, after school, Jayden would go over to her house and tutor her for an hour or two and then they will use the rest of the time for her practise.
During the one week before the competition, she had practised cooking different kinds of dishes and finally settled on making pastry since it seemed that was what she was good at. Jayden also helped her to ask some of the students questions about their favourite pastries and why they like them. She used that study to come out with her own cookie which she named 'EJ', using the first letters of their names and shared with her family to taste and give her feedback, though that wasn't part of the competition.
