Story
The story of Cure Whip and the guardians of sweets begins!

This story follows Usami Ichika, a second-year in middle school who loves, loves, LOVES sweets! When she heard that her mother was coming back from her job overseas, she decided to challenge herself by making a shortcake just for her!

Just then...

"I'm pekopeko hungry, peko!"

...a fairy named Pekorin crashed in from the sky! It scared the heck out of her, but that was just the beginning! Cream explosions, cake thieves... all kinds of strange things started happening in the town! And as it turned out, there was a weird monster behind it! He'd been stealing the kirakiral energy that lives in sweets, turning all the sweets black!!

Ichika couldn't let the same thing happen to her shortcake. It's an expression of love for her mother, so it's really important to her! But just as she put the finishing touches on her Usami Ichika special bunny shortcake... she turned into the legendary patissier, Precure!

Now, as Cure Whip, she'll protect the sweets that people use to express their feelings to each other!

Kotozume Yukari: A beautiful second year in high school who is talented in many things and tends to act on whims in an attempt to find something she finds thrilling.
