The episodes from the anime Yumeiro Patissiere are based on the manga of the same name written and illustrated by Natsumi Matsumoto. The series is produced by Studio Pierrot and directed by Ko Suzuki. The story is about 14 yr old Ichigo who dreams of becoming a pastry chef. She attends St. Marie Academy in hopes of following her grandmother's footsteps. Along the way, she meets boys, enemies, and sweets spirits.
Two pieces of theme music have been used for the series thus far. The opening music piece is "Yume ni Ēru! Patishiēru" (夢にエール!パティシエール♪ Yell for the Dream! Patissiere) by Mayumi Gojō, and the ending theme is "Ichigo no Mirakurūru" (いちごのミラクルール Ichigo's Miracle–le) by Yukina Sugihara. The CD single for the two was released by the Columbia Music Entertainment on January 20, 2010 in a regular and limited edition. The limited edition comes with extra charms and costs ¥1,365, but is otherwise the same as the regular edition, which costs ¥1,050.
