In der Dessertküche eines Sternerestaurants soll Patrizia in den nächsten Tagen ihre Erfahrungen als Köchin erweitern. Der Patissier ist eine merkwürdige Nummer und ihr neuer Chef eine heiße Erscheinung. Patrizia hat keine Ahnung, was sie von den Männern halten soll.

Prominenter Besuch wird im Restaurant Göcker erwartet. Gerüchten zufolge bekommt Patrizia bald die Gelegenheit, ein paar Stars um ein Autogramm zu bitten. Zu dumm, dass ihr kein einziger davon bekannt vorkommt.

Nichtvorhandener Liebeskummer bestimmt den Samstag. Wie gut, dass Patrizia zum Tortenwunder wird und es vor Ablauf des Abends Konfetti regnet.
