Cherry the pig is happy and content, baking — and eating — desserts every afternoon. (She is, after all, a pig.) Then one day, she hears a family of mice talking about her “incredible” apple cake. Her apple cake is pretty incredible, so Cherry enters the bake-off at the local Harvest Festival. The rest, as they say, is (sweet) history. This story from Japan is by Utako Yamada. Launch date: March 2007.
