Task Progression Blocked
If no vanilla orders appear after unlocking Vanilla Bean, check MyPad story quests! Many vanilla drinks are locked behind story progression.
Wrong Decoration Order
For Vanilla Mountain: add Whipped Cream first, then Vanilla Flower, then Vanilla Bean last. Wrong order affects presentation.
Missing Vanilla Syrup
Vanilla Bean alone won't work! You need both Vanilla Bean AND Vanilla Flower to unlock Vanilla Syrup for drinks.
Wrong Cup Types
Vanilla Mountain needs coffee cup, Neapolitan needs large glass cup. Using wrong cup type causes immediate refunds.
