Yumeiro Patissiere

Amano Ichigo, a middle schooler with no particular talent, meets a pâtissier (Henri Lucas) who realizes that she has an incredible palate one day at a sweets festival. He asks her to transfer to a special school for pastry chefs called "St. Marie Academy".

Ichigo transfers to St. Marie Academy and is overwhelmed by the school. She encounters three boys (aka Sweets Princes) on the way to class, each one of them is a talented pâtissier. Ichigo is then placed in Group A with them, despite being a beginner, leading to jealousy and surprise among her other classmates.

Ichigo has a hard time with the extreme course-load at St. Marie and starts to get homesick. She is cheered up by Hanabusa, one of the boys in her group.

There's a special salon at St. Marie Academy (which is run by the High School student council) called Salon de Marie. Ichigo would give anything to work there, but because she's in middle school, her chances are slim. Andou asks her to come with him to his family's Japanese confectionery to help get her mind off things. There, she finds out that the eldest out of Andou's 4 younger siblings, Ichita, dislikes cake, so she decides to find out why.

Kashino is extremely skilled with chocolate; so with a chocolate test coming up, Ichigo decides to make a chocolate cake that will blow him away.

Ichigo finds all three of the Sweets Princes also have accompanying Sweets Spirits. On a trip to a local preschool, Ichigo notices a little girl named Ringo that seems to be having trouble making friends, and promises her that she will make a cake that will help her to make friends with everyone else in the class.
