To sort of appeal to Caenis more he compares something like this to fighting the lostbelt kings in a real underdog position, like Arjuna without Karna's help, or Zeus without Quirinus. The battles are basically Caenis' chuuni way of visualizing the baking process. After all of that, you make some progress in the baking but she's like "it's no use, it's nothing like the thing he used to eat". At first, Gordolf assumes that she has to be talking about her parents or family or something, and tries to explain that you can't really replicate the love put in by a family member cooking, but then you realize that she's actually talking about Kirschtaria. As such, she should be baking something more modern, something both noble and common, that fits him better. So you help her bake that in his memory.
At the end, she's actually had fun with Chaldea for once, and she monologues, basically saying (a bit paraphrased cuz I only have my discord logs up still):
"Ah, we spent all day trying to get this together, and it didn't even turn out that great. But we went at it together, Chaldea and I.
It was an all-in, genuine team effort. They really did that to help me bake bread for you. What a ridiculous bunch, seriously...
We baked all this and in the end none of it was like what you used to have.
But well, it's all just a stupid thing in the end, isn't it? Such a stupid, trivial thing...
Even if it's just a gift you can't accept, I'm sure you're watching over me with a twinkle in your eye. Aren't you, Master?
No, you're not a Master anymore.
You're simply Kirschtaria Wodime."
