Happy Bakery is a great cooking simulation game aimed at the very youngest of Nintendo DS gamers to try their hand at baking some of their favourite breads and cakes, without messing up the kitchen. The game gives players the chance to simulate making and baking 40 types of bread and cakes whilst meeting a range of colourful characters that bring an element of adventure as the player attempts to collect all the Bread Fairies.

Fully utilising the NDS stylus, Happy Bakery is a light-hearted introduction to cooking games for three to five-year-olds and enables the player to experience the feeling of kneading flour into dough, mixing, shaping, rolling and cutting it.

Deep in the forest there was a pretty little bakery with a bright red roof.

The name of the shop was Happy Bakery.

The baker was a pretty little girl called Rue, with such a passion for bread that even her hair looked like a fluffy bread roll! But Rue has been finding it hard to manage the shop all by herself, so recently she's decided she needs a helping hand.

“If only there was someone who loved bread as much as me…”

Today is another day that finds Rue behind the counter, resting her head on her hands as she waits for a budding assistant.
