REVIEW: Sweet Reincarnation Anime Series Review

The show had some fun moments and I liked seeing their territory grow, but it is another anime in a long line of not actually providing in what the premise is supposed to be. In most episodes the baking amounted to nothing more than a few jokes and instead we had bandits, nobles and a war to content with.

Unfortunately, one of the pitfalls of isekais that rely on a very specific hook to differentiate them is just how limiting that can be. Maybe the making sweets aspect would be more meaningful if this really were "Food Wars in a Fantasy World." Or at least something where those particular skills hold significance beyond tasting better than what people are used to eating. Instead, what makes Pastry formidable is a combination of more modern knowledge and a magic skill nobody else has.
