Dream-Colored Pastry Chef, sometimes stylized Yumeiro Pâtissière) is a shōjo manga and anime series by Natsumi Matsumoto.

[7] Yumeiro Pâtissière: Fourteen-year-old Ichigo Amano (her name means strawberry) is clumsy and does not 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 a pâtissière.

Throughout the entire anime is Ichigo and the Sweet Princes trying to win the Grand Prix, which allowed them to go to Paris.

The Sweets Princes, Hanabusa and Andou, take long absences from school to work for their dreams, leaving only Ichigo and Kashino.

The team includes Lemon Yamagishi, Johnny McBeal, Makoto Kashino, and Amano Ichigo.

[8] The anime adaptation was accidentally announced in June 2009 by a listing from one of the card game series based on the manga.

Carl Kimlinger calls it "pure shōjo fluff" and says that it is a "sugary little distraction that won't harm any sensibilities.

Martin critiqued the art of the series however, saying "The dessert designs are unquestionably the visual highlight, as otherwise the artistry and technical merits are rather bland.
