Yumeiro Pâtissière. I'm only up to episode 17 but I've enjoyed the sweet

simplicity of the story. It's refreshing to watch an anime that is fairly light and fun. Even the saddest of stories has some kind of positive outcome and there's no inclination to put the viewer through an emotional wringer (unlike other anime/manga that turn out to be more bitter than sweet eg.
Kitchen Princess).
The characters are driven by an overwhelming desire to achieve their dreams and, although it's often clichéd, the journey is enjoyable to watch. It's a good anime to turn to when you simply want to relax and not think too deeply about life, the universe or anything.

I suspect that the only problem you might encounter when watching
Yumeiro Pâtissière is combatting the strong desire to savour all the enticing sweets that they make in the course of an episode.
