[edit]Plot 14-year-old Ichigo Amano is clumsy and doesn't have any talent except for eating sweets (specifically cakes). When she stumbles upon a Sweets Festival, she meets Henri-sensei who acknowledges her ability of taste and invites her to

transfer to St. Marie Academy to become aptissire. Ichigo has trouble adjusting initially, but with the help of the 3 Sweets Princes and the Sweets Spirits, she gains the confidence and skill to work towards becoming a ptissire. Two years after studying in Paris, the 16-year-old Ichigo now returns to Japan as a professional ptissire. But as soon as she returns, Ichigo finds Team Ichigo breaking up. The Sweets Princes, Hanabusa and Andou, take long absences from school to work for their dreams, leaving only Ichigo and Kashino - He skipped a grade for having the top grades back at Paris -. But soon, a 'new' Team Ichigo is formed by Henri-"sensei" for the project. The team includes, Lemon, Johnny, Kashino and Ichigo. They are now working as professionals for the project and their dreams. [edit]Characters [edit]Main

Characters

Ichigo Amano ( Amano Ichigo?) Voiced by: Aoi Y ki An optimistic, lively and clumsy 14-year-old middle school student who loves sweets. Her mother ignored her for many years for having no talent (comparing to her younger sister, Natsume, who plays the piano very well). Due to her incredible palate, that allows her to immediately tell what ingredients are used in different sweets and who made the ingredients, she is spotted by Henri Lucas during a Sweets Festival. On his suggestion, she transfers to St. Marie Academy in order to train to become a ptissiere like her grandmother. Ichigo is also known for her huge appetite for cakes; she claims there is a second stomach specifically for sweets, and has won several cake-eating contests in the past. As the story progresses, Ichigo improves her talent as a ptissiere and gains new friends and rivals along the way. Ichigo wins the hearts of almost everyone with her hard work and love for pastries. Her dream is to create sweets that makes people smile. At the end of the last episode of the first season of the anime, Ichigo and Kashino promise to tell each other about their feelings when they're accomplished patissiers. During the second season, she is 16 years old and in a new

Group A, consisting of herself, Lemon, Rumi, and Johnny McBeal. She is also a part of the Henri-sensei's project, Marie's Garden, which includes Kashino, Lemon, and Johnny. In the very last episode of Yumeiro Patissiere SP Professional, Kashino tells her that he always wants to be able to make sweets with her, and accidentally kisses her. It is hinted that she and Kashino will be starting a new shop in London. Makoto Kashino ( Kashino Makoto?) Voiced by: Nobuhiko Okamoto One of the "Sweets Princes" of the St. Marie's Academy who specializes in chocolate. Andou is his childhood friend and Hanabusa is his roommate. Kashino is sometimes teased or misjudged due to his height, for he is the shortest of the Sweets Princes. He comes from a prestigious family of doctors who do not approve of his career choice. Due to a condition that his family gave him to attend St. Marie, he is always at the top of his class. Kashino is generally unsociable, straightforward, easily angered, and prickly. He greatly admires his uncle (who is a chocolatier) and spent a lot of time in his shop when he was little (which inspired him to become a ptissier). Even though he is hard on Ichigo's klutzy personality, he warms up to her to the point of being teammates and friends, and later falls in love with her. In the second season, Kashino skipped a year in school because of his excellent grades during Team Ichigo's study abroad in Paris. He is 16, but still conscious about his height, as Johnny regularly teases him for it. Whenever he sees Johnny holding Ichigo, he becomes visibly jealous. At the end of the series, he asks Ichigo if she will stay with him forever. Satsuki Hanabusa ( Hanabusa Satsuki?) Voiced by: Tsubasa Yonaga One of the "Sweets Princes" of the school who specializes in candy sculptures and flower-based cakes. Hanabusa's dream is to work with his mother, who excels at Japanese flower arrangement and is the flower arranging teacher at St. Marie Academy. His father was a horticulturist who specialized in roses and died in a car accident several years before the story takes place. The bottle of rose water Hanabusa keeps is a memento of his father. Since his father

died, Hanabusa felt that he should be kind to his mother and women in general. As a result, Hanabusa always centered on roses, and is extremely nice to all females (to the point of being a borderline perpetual flirt). He also seems narcissistic and heavily concerned about his appearance; for example, Caf states that Hanabusa needs more than an hour to get ready for school in the mornings. In Yumeiro Patissiere SP Professional, Hanabusa starts to work on his dream with his mother and takes an indefinite leave of absence from school. He admits that he is also in love with Ichigo, although he tells Kashino that he can have her (presumably to make Ichigo happy), but that if she ever dumps him he will claim her for himself. Sennosuke Andou ( And Sennosuke?) Voiced by: Shinya Hamazoe One of the "Sweets Princes" of the school who specializes in Japanese sweets. Andou's dream is to open his own shop that sells a blend of Eastern and Western sweets next door to his family's Japanese sweets shop, Yumezuki. Andou is the eldest of five siblings, and he often goes to help at his family's shop during holidays and weekends. He is a childhood friend of Kashino, calling him "Ma-chan" in the manga and "Ma-kun" in the anime. Andou is always calm, reliable, and tries to reason with everyone, acting somewhat like an older brother to Team Ichigo. Andou cares about Caramel like a little sister, and he is always overjoyed whenever Caramel does something nice for him. He looks out for Ichigo and tends to worry about her a lot. In the second season Andou is working on his dream and takes a leave of absence from school, opening a branch of his family's Yumezuki on the international street of Henrisensei's project. In Episode 11 of season two, he admits that he's in love with Ichigo but he gives her up for Kashino. Hanabusa claims that the reason behind it was because he was already dating Kana. [edit]Sweets Spirits Vanilla ( Banira?) Voiced by: Ayana Taketatsu Ichigo's Sweets Spirit who specializes in vanilla. Often labeled a Spartan, Vanilla's attitude is quite fiery. She generally fights with Chocolat, though they don't seem to actually hate each other, and in fact work they together in

the manga for a Sweets Kingdom test. She is often called pudgy. Ichigo and Vanilla consider each other to be best friends, and are extremely loyal to each other. Vanilla often plays a big part in cheering Ichigo up whenever she feels discouraged. Her sweets magic can decorate plates, make people shrink to the size of a Sweets Spirit, or fill the entire room with a pastry's scent. She can also translate Sweets Spirit language into Japanese. Chocolat ( Shokora?) Voiced by: Yuri Yamaoka Kashino's Sweets Spirit who is skilled in chocolate. Chocolat has a competitive spirit but is easily frightened. She is a classic example of a tsundere character, though she seems to loose this trait somewhat as the series progresses. Although she appears to dislike Ichigo, she actually cares for her and helps her whenever needed. In season two, it shows that she cares deeply about the Sweets Spirit Kasshi and may have romantic feelings for him. Caramel ( Kyarameru?) Voiced by: Mayu Iino Andou's Sweets Spirit who is useful with caramel. Although Caramel is the eldest out of Team Ichigo's Sweets Spirits, she is clumsy like Ichigo and tends to cry a lot. She commonly ends her sentences with desu. Caf states that she has a terrible sense of direction. She considers Andou to be her big brother. Her sweets magic allows her to make pastry pictures show someone how the sweets look like. Caf ( Kafe?) Voiced by: Sachika Misawa Hanabusa's Sweets Spirit who is good with coffee. Caf is polite, smart, and very calm. He looks up to Hanabusa and sees him as his senpai. Caf can make extremely bitter coffee as a potent way of making Team Ichigo more awake. Honey ( Hani?) Voiced by: Eri Kitamura

Mari Tennouji's Sweet Spirit, who specializes with honey. She is mature, cool, and calm. Even though her expression is always serious, she is very friendly and kind to everyone. The Jerks call her Honey-Pig, much to her disgust. She is very well respected among the Sweets Spirits, many of whom call her Honey-sama. She looks like, and has the same personalty as, Mari. Marron ( Maron?) Voiced by: Sayuri Yahagi Miya's Sweets Spirit who likes to use chestnuts. Although people note that Marron and Miya have similar personalities, they deny that fact. Maize ( Meizu?) Voiced by: Minori Chihara Maize is Johnny's Sweets Spirit, specializing in deep fried sweets. She is strong-willed enough to have Johnny and Kashino bow to her. Maize is very polite, but can also be very strict, especially when she thinks someone is being rude. She has enough power to burn people to a crisp. She is not very good at Japanese, generally using incorrect Japanese and dropping random English words into her sentences. Maize only appears in the second series. Mint ( Minto?) Voiced by: Yui Ogura Lemon's Sweets Spirit who specializes in mint. Like Lemon admires Ichigo, Mint admires Vanilla, calling her Vanillasempai. [edit]Supporting

Characters
Henri Lucas ( Ryukasu?) Anri

Voiced by: Daisuke Kishio The grandchild of Marie Lucas who created St. Marie Academy to raise patissiers. Due to unknown circumstances, he transferred to Paris to teach at the main campus right before Ichigo moved to the Japanese St. Marie campus. He is known as both a "master of sweets," but also a "master of dance." Henri is characterized as calm, collected, and a handsome gentleman. He shows great interest in Ichigo and Tennouji as ptissieres and seems to favor both of them among all his students. Henri's grandfather trained Ichigo's grandmother; Henri wants to do the same thing by training Ichigo. He has an unknown Sweets Spirit. Mari Tennouji ( Ten ? nouji Mari ) Voiced by: Eri Kitamura One of Henri Lucas' favorite students. She is the daughter of a hotel owner and the Student Council President of the Japanese St. Marie campus. Mari is often referred as the "Princess" of St. Marie Academy. She is known as a genius when it comes to pastry. Though she has been given many awards for her excellent work, she has stated that all of her medals and trophies are meaningless compared to the attention she wants from Henri Lucas. Mari constantly works very hard to improve her skills, regardless of her being the St. Marie Academy's top student. In the anime version of the semi-finals of the Cake Grand Prix, she lost to Team Francois. In Yumeiro Patissiere SP Professional, she has cut her hair and currently lives in New York to help Henri-sensei's with a shop. Her Sweets Spirit is Honey. Miya Koshiro ( ? Koshiro Miya ) Voiced by: Sayuri Yahagi Known as "Heiress" by other students, Miya is the daughter of the president of the famed "Chteau Seika" company which specializes in creating and delivering chocolates and other sweets. She is very determined to get whatever

she desires and as such, whenever she is in a pinch she relies heavily on her family's power and wealth to get what she wants (e.g. she bought the Andorra campus of St. Marie in order to compete in the World Cake Grand Prix). She has a habit of ordering the highest quality ingredients in order to get an edge on her competition. She has an obsessive crush on Kashino, to the point where she has memorabilia of him. Her sweet spirit is Marron. Rumi Kato ( Kat Rumi?) Voiced by: Asumi Kodama One of the members of Group C and Ichigo's roommate/best friend at St. Marie Academy. Rumi speaks in an Osaka dialect and has a long distance boyfriend named Takuya. She always sticks up for Ichigo when she is bullied and cheers Ichigo's team on in the Cake Grand Prix. In the second season, Rumi is in the A group together with Ichigo, Lemon, and Johnny. Lemo n Yama gishi ( Y amagi shi Remo n?) Voiced by: Mariya Ise

A student from the main St. Marie campus in Paris who challenges Team Ichigo early on in the Cake Grand Prix. She later learns to be humble from Ichigo and returns to Paris. In the second season, she transfers to Japan and joins the new Team Ichigo to work on Henri-sensei's project. She skipped a year for having top grades and is in Group A with Ichigo, Rumi, and Johnny. She admires Ichigo and looks up to her. [ e d i t ]

) Voiced by: Akio Suyama Johnny is one of the members in group A with Ichigo, though he prefers to work independently as opposed to working with a group. He is a transfer student from America and Miya Koshiro's cousin. His dream is to create a

sweet that originates from America, since there are few that actually originate from the country. When he meets Ichigo he quickly falls in love with her and becomes jealous of Kashino, commenting that he wishes she "talked about him with sparkling eyes, in the same way she does when talking of Kashino." He is part of Henri Lucas' project, working with Lemon, Ichigo, and Kashino. [ e d i t ]
