Plot
As a little girl, Iris Burton loved to watch her mom bake. As she lovingly watched her decorate a cake, she described it's completed form as "Sugar Magic" catching the attention of her parents. Her father remarked that she must see something special in it, and Iris agreed. She loved her mother's cakes more than anything.

Overflowing with joy, Iris makes her way through town while greeting the various residents and picking up some eggs from a grocery store. As everyone begins to watch her, nobody is aware of the battle going on far in the mountains. She takes three large steps and upon landing, a large blast alerts her and everyone else to the glittery cream now covering the area, and after grabbing her bag she happens to spot clouds resembling various sweets. She reaches out for the shortcake and becomes excited again, anticipating the delicious cake she's going to make.

Other girls also see shapes; a pudding, ice cream, macaron, and chocolate.

At home, Iris prepares to whip up a cake, but for each attempt it fails to rise and ends up burning. Her dad tries to make her feel better but she forces him to leave the room so that she can try to figure out what is going wrong.

As this is going on, the various town residents are discussing the strnage incident from earlier qhen a chef cries out. All of his pastries have turned grey and tasteless. A strange, purple monster floats up into the sky from the shop, having just stolen the Sugar Magic from there. A pink dog-like pixie chases after him but with one punch, he sends her flying straight for the Burton residence, where she flies into the window and crash lands on the counter Iris was using. She ducks for cover before freaking out when the pixie's ears momentarily flash blue, talks, and, begins to float. But admist her panic, she calms down as the pixie complains it's hungry. It asks for some sweets so Iris offers ger the plates of her failed cakes. The pixie agrees and hungrily chows down, calling her "pancakes" delicious. Iris attempts to take the compliment and they exchange names, the pixie introduces heeself as Peck.

With that, Iris resumes working on her cake. Peck is distressed as she watched her feverishly mix the batter and hurriedly stops her, telling her the Sugar Magic will disappear at this rate. Iris seems confused but accepts this and quickly gets it into the oven, and to her delight, this one rises. She happily hops around while holding Peck and cuddles her in thanks, realizing that her problem was simply a case of over-mixing.
