Series by 松本夏実

Ichigo Amano, a 14-year-old with a passion for cakes, enrolls at St. Marie Academy, a prestigious confectionery school, after being scouted by renowned patissier Henri Lucas for her exceptional taste. At the academy, she meets Vanilla, a tiny sweets spirit who becomes her partner, guiding her in creating desserts. Struggling with her lack of baking skills, Ichigo teams up with three talented boys—Sennosuke Andou, Satsuki Hanabusa, and Makoto Kashino—known as the Sweets Princes, forming a study group. Facing skepticism from peers and the pressure of her first baking assignments, Ichigo’s determination and unique palate drive her to improve. Their early challenges, including a critical cake-making test, spark a journey of friendship, growth, and sweet creations in a vibrant, dessert-filled world.
