The desserts were shaped in ways that he found to be perfect and were enchanted withhouse-elf magic that made them move when shaped like magical creatures.[2] He was very popular with the students for providing these treats and liked to watch them eat his desserts so he could learn what their favourites were.[3]
In2010, Wigby was cleaning astudent's dorm room at night, when the student woke up, disturbed by their dream of eating cakes endlessly. Wigby asked whether the cake was delicious, since they often said his pastries were the stuff dreams were made of. When he got a positive answer, he asked whether he could visit the student more often, as their dreams were very helpful, to which the student also said yes.[2]
Wigby was later visited by this student in thekitchens and talked to them about thetrifle he was working on. The student offered to ask around for preferences of ingredients and decorations to perfect the trifle.[2]
