It's the final day of the prompt, and there are no art pieces, no moodboards, no photos, etc. for me to give. The prompt entails so much of the franchise that one thing didn't feel like enough. There were so many options that no attempt to narrow it down worked.

Instead, I decided to show some friends who had never seen Precure some Pretty Cure films, with All Stars F for one of them, All Stars Memories for another, and All Stars New Stage for the friend who watched F with me.

The friend who watched F with me had told me that despite never seeing the franchise before, the forgiveness to Preme, the old scenes from old episodes being reanimated and shown for the resurrection portion, and connecting everyone's feelings together had made them cry. These weren't sad tears, but tears of a nostalgia for something that they had never seen. I think Precure being able to evoke such a thing is really sweet.

With New Stage, they liked the bond that Fuu-chan and Ayumi had, and enjoyed the fact that Echo got to become a Precure due to this bond. Echo appearing in All Stars F was also more appreciated due to this. They found Fuu's desire to keep a friend safe and happy relatable, even if Fuu went a little far with it, and they appreciated that this resulted in Fuu not being treated as the bad guy by the end, but as a friend.

Two movies where these become friends of the Precure, in a sense. I think that's what Precure is all about - friendship, forgiveness, and keeping your heart open to all.

The friend that watched All Stars Memories with me felt the bond between Nagisa and Honoka intensely, and was glad to see Hana offering Miden friendship upon realizing he was lonely. That to me is what Precure is all about. Everyone has the potential to be good and kind if they truly wish to be - and those who are hurting have the potential to change. This franchise is a huge place in our hearts, and I really wanted to show how that was the case to others, too.

I'm glad these friends enjoyed the movies.

Bonjour~! For today's prompt, I looked at the Cures who had Rainbow color scheme, according to Toei's official categorization, and decided this was a perfect time for our third Animal Sweets recipe translation on this blog. Un moment Parfait, if you will. This recipe is a one star difficulty out of three, so you should have a fine time with it. It's the Pegasus Parfait that Kirahoshi Ciel uses to transform into Cure Parfait from Kirakira Pretty Cure A La Mode Episode 23 of the Precure Franchise.

Let's・La・Mazemaze!

What you'll need

For the Waffle Wings:

85g, or 3oz, of pastry flour

1 tbsp of baking powder

25g, or 0.9oz, of caster sugar

A little salt

1 Medium Egg

100ml, or 2/5 cup, of milk

2 tablespoons of vegetable oil

For the Pegasus Decoration:

Vanilla icecream, as needed

Fresh cream, as needed

Sugar, as needed

Canned pears

Melon Slices

Orange Wedges

Strawberries

5 Chocolate Pens (1 of each: Pink, Purple, Blue, Yellow, Chocolate)

Your favorite jam, as needed

For your pre-preparation step, pre-heat your waffle iron if your waffle iron's instructions require that, and cut your fruit into your shapes. If you're young, ask an adult to help with the knife.

Step One

We're going to make the waffles. Whisk your pastry flour, caster sugar, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.

Step Two

Crack the egg into another bowl, and beat them lightly. Then add your milk and oil, and whisk with a whisk.

Step Three

Very gradually, add your wet ingredients you made in Step Two to your dry ingredients you made in Step One, and mix with a whisk until smooth. The key to preventing lumps in this step is to add the liquid to the powder little by little, rather than in large amounts.

Step Four

Coat a pre-heated waffle iron with a thin layer of vegetable oil (not included in the recipe), and pour in the waffle batter you made in Step 3 with a ladle. Clover-shaped waffle irons work best to make heart-shaped wings, but any shape is fine.

Step Five

Cook your waffles according to your own waffle iron's instructions, then remove your waffle with chopsticks, allow to cool, and then cut the waffle in half.

Step Six

Dip your pink, purple, blue, and yellow chocolate pens in hot water, and cut the tip. Then, draw four lines in pink, purple, blue, and yellow on half of your waffle halves that you made in Step Five. We are done with the wings.

Step Seven

It's time to make the whipped cream. Place the caster sugar and fresh cream from the Decoration ingredients in a bowl. Place the bottom of the bowl overtop some ice water, and whip until it is about 80% stiff. Place a star tip on a piping back and pour the cream into it. We are done with the whipped cream.

Step Eight

It's time to assemble the parfait. Place the vanilla icecream into a bowl using a scoop and squeeze the whipped cream you made in Step Seven onto the top and in front.

Step Nine

Combine the canned pear and melon slice to make the Pegasus' head and beginning of the mane. Continue the mane down the icecream back with orange wedge and strawberry. To secure the melon mane on the pegasus' head, use short bamboo skewers or toothpicks.

Step Ten

Place the waffle you made in Step Six on top of the icecream to make wings. Put your favorite jam into a piping bag, cut the tip, and squeeze it onto the sides of the waffle.

Step Eleven

Squeeze the cream you made in Step Seven onto the neck of the pegasus in star dollops to make a necklace. Dip your chocolate-colored chocolate pen in hot water and cut the tip. Finally, use your chocolate pen to draw the eyes and nose of the pegasus on the canned pear head. Your Pegasus is assembled!

Please, everyone, enjoy your tasty Pegasus Parfait if you ever do try to make it, following the translated recipe. I apologise if it's a little unclear, but given how customizable it is in terms of your favorite fruits, feel free to do what you wish. Régale-toi bien!

For Love Letters, I wanted to do something silly, but also cute. By combining cute and silly, we end up with a love letter that contains a really atrocious pun, featuring Cure Miracle from Mahoutsukai Pretty Cure of the Precure franchise, and Cure Whip from Kirakira Pretty Cure A La Mode of the Precure franchise. So, here's the silly thing!:

I had a lot of fun making this silly little meme image for this prompt today! I hope it can all bring you smiles and make you Ultra Happy!!

Didn't know what to put for this, but eventually decided to whip up something my Fancure (clicking the hyperlink leads to my Fancure's wiki page) would write for Mirai. So anyway, here goes!

(Do not read unless you can withstand cringe lol)

With barely any green cures to choose from, I wasn't sure whether to draw the minimal amount we have, draw one of my favorites, or do something else. I decided to follow the trend I made with the other color prompts, and do another playlist. However, with how few greens there are, it's a lot shorter. Regardless, here's the playlist of...

Mint Green Lily Yarn:

Playlist Length: 5 Songs 21 Minutes and 1 second

Tracklist:

Sparkle!

I know it's short, but please enjoy the Mint Green Lily Yarn playlist, everyone!

Dancing is a fun prompt! There's so many dances in Precure, from the opening songs, to the ending songs, to some movie-exclusive tracks. Even in-show dances from certain teams! I decided I'd dance myself as part of this prompt, doing a dance cover of the short Promotional Instrumental version of Happy≒Future from the Wonderful Pretty Cure Movie

Here it is!:

[Video Description: A video of a girl in a pink-lavender room, wearing a pink pinafore dress with donut patterns, pink shirt, pink socks, and silver collar with the All Stars New Stage Miracle Decor Light attached as necklace decoration. She is performing the promotional instrumental version of the Happy≒Future dance from the Wonderful Pretty Cure movie of the Precure franchise. Her face has been censored with an image of Cure Wonderful's face.

She begins the dance by spinning around in a "Dabbing" pose, first clockwise, then counterclockwise as she alternates the "dabbing" arm. She proceeds to raise opposite arms up and down while turning her legs in a wide stance from left to right. This follows into her punching downward in a "dog-paw" motion, before jumping and raising her right hand to the air.

She then proceeds to do a punch-the-sky "dog-paw" motion with her left and right hands, alternating for four sky punches, before raising her left arm to about shoulder height, tilting onto the heel of her left foot. She raises her right arm to shoulder height and tilts onto the heel of her right foot, and proceeds to do this twice more.

Ducking down to the left slightly, she crosses her wrists over one another, then ducks down to the right as she uncrosses them. After doing this again, the turns sideways to the right and moves her left arm in a shoulder-height circling motion, while kicking her back leg, then front leg forward, and jumping into the air as she raises her left hand to the air.

She starts the punch-the-sky "dog-paw" motion again, and follows the same pattern described until the end of the song, ending with her left hand raised into the air and her right hand by her cheek. End Video Description]

For Day 25's prompt of Purple, we'll be continuing on from yesterday's post for Baking/Cooking, by translating into English the recipe for the Cat Macaron from Kirakira Pretty Cure A La Mode Episode 5 of the Precure franchise. This recipe is a three star plus difficulty level out of three stars, indicating it is extremely difficult. Keep this in mind when baking.

Let's・La・Mazemaze!

What You'll Need

Macarons

1 egg white (about 35g or 1 and 1/4 oz)

30g, or 1oz. of granulated sugar

Small amount of red and blue, or purple food coloring. If you want a deep purple, use gel food coloring. Powdered coloring tends to make the color muddy, so use a lighter purple if using powdered.

40g Almond Flour

40g Powdered Sugar

Filling & Top Decorations

40g unsalted butter

50g powdered sugar

40g cream cheese

A little food coloring

Some raspberry jam

1 purple chocolate pen.

If using store-bought purple macarons and cream, you can move to the decoration step found in Step 12.

For your pre-preparation, Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Preheat your oven to 170 Celsius, or 338 Fahrenheit. Chill the egg whites. Sift together the Almond Flour and Powdered Sugar. Bring the butter and cream cheese to room temperature.

Step One

Put the egg whites in a bowl and whip until they form slight peaks. Add the granulated sugar and whip further until they form stiff peaks and become fluffy. Be careful, because if there is oil or moisture in the bowl, or if there is egg yolk mixed in with the egg whites, the mixture will not foam properly.

Step Two

Add your chosen food coloring to the mixture you made in Step One, and mix until you get the color you like. Fold it in until the batter is smooth, using a macaronage, if you wish for the color to be a little darker. A lighter color may be closer to your image, though.

Step Three

Sift the almond flour and powdered sugar mixture you made in the Pre Preparation into your mixture from Step Two, while still folding it in a macaronage.

Step Four

The dough should go from lumpy to smooth and shiny, and when you lift it, it should fall in ribbons and overlap. If you mix it too much, it will be runny, thin, and not rise too well. If you don't mix it enough, it will be crumbly, dull, and cracked.

Step Five

Place into a piping bag fitted with a round tip, and squeeze onto baking paper to a diameter of about 3cm. It might be easier to squeeze the right size if you place a sheet of baking paper with 3cm circles drawn on it underneath your baking paper.

Step Six

Leave it for about an hour to dry, until the surface no longer sticks to your hands when you touch it. It may take longer to dry on rainy or humid days, so work on sunny days with low humidity, if possible.

Step Seven

Bake in a preheated oven at 170 celsius, or 338 Fahrenheit, for about 2 minutes. Open the oven door once for about ten seconds, to lower the temperature, then bake in a 130 celsius or 266 fahrenheit oven for 15 to 18 minutes. Leave to cool on the baking tray.

Step Eight

We're now making our filling. Put the butter and powdered sugar in a bowl, and beat until fluffy. Then, add the smooth cream cheese and beat some more.

Step Nine

Set aside a small uncolored amount, and add your food coloring to the rest, mixing until you get the desired color.

Step Ten

Place a small star tip into a piping bag and pour in the colored cream that you made in Step Nine.

Step Eleven

Find Macarons of similar size, and pair them together, so you know which ones will maintain structure.

Step Twelve

Spread a small amount of raspberry jam onto one of the macarons, and squeeze the colored cream you made in Step 10 on top, then top with the other macaron and place in the refrigerator for half a day to set.

Step Thirteen

Place on a plate and pour the reserved uncolored cream into a piping bag to pipe the ears and center decoration.

Step Fourteen

Dip a purple chocolate pen in hot water, cut the tip, and draw the eyes, whiskers, nose, and tail of the Macaron cat. You can also draw a small star on baking paper and leave in the refrigerator to chill before placing it on top of the center decoration cream.

There you have it, the cat macarons found in Kirakira Pretty Cure A La Mode Episode 5. They're a difficult process and a difficult recipe, so I wish you all the best of luck with this kind of thing, fufufu~.

Bonjour~! For today's prompt, I thought I'd give us all a lovely Animal Sweets recipe from Kirakira Pretty Cure A La Mode Episode 37, translated into English~. We'll be looking at the Hamster Pumpkin Pudding recipe! It's noted as a two star difficulty out of three, so keep that in mind.

Let's・La・Mazemaze!

What you'll need

For the Pumpkin Pudding:

1 Baby Pumpkin (This one was a palm-sized sweet and fluffy pumpkin, using about 500g of its innards)

2 Tbsp of Brown Sugar

100ml (3/5 Cup) of Milk

1 Medium Egg

15g (1/2 oz.) of melted, unsalted butter.

A little bit of vanilla oil

For the Caramel Sauce:

30g Granulated sugar

1tsp water

1tbsp boiling water

For the Sweet Pumpkin Hamster Decoration (Makes 6-8):

1/4 pumpkin (about 200g or 7oz)

10g (1/3 oz) unsalted butter

2 tbsp brown sugar

A little cinnamon

2 tbsp beaten egg

2 tbsp katakuriko (You can use potato starch)

6-8 almonds

Chocolate Icing Pen

Yellow Icing Pen

For your pre-preparation step, place baking paper on a baking sheet, and preheat your oven to 200 Celcius (or 392 Fahrenheit).

Step One

Wrap the whole baby pumpkin in plastic wrap, and microwave it in a 600W microwave for about 3 minutes. Remove the plastic wrap, cut off the top third, and remove the seeds and pulp with a spoon.

Step Two

Wrap the container and lid you just made in the plastic wrap again. Microwave once more in a 600W microwave for 1-2 minutes. Remove the plastic wrap, and being careful not to tear the skin, hollow out the container and lid. Note that the microwaved pumpkin will be very hot, so be careful when removing it!

Step Three

Put the hollowed-out pumpkin's flesh (that you removed in step 2) into a blender, along with the brown sugar, milk, eggs, and melted butter. If you don't own a blender, mash the pumpkin flesh thoroughly with a fork, then mix in the other ingredients.

Step Four

Beat your mixture from Step Three in a bowl, and add in the vanilla. Strain the mixture through a sieve once, back into a bowl.

Step Five

Place a steaming plate or dish in a pot filled with water (not the amounts included in the recipe). Place a sheet of baking paper on top, then place the Pumpkin Container you made in Step 2 on top of this. Pour in the pudding mixture you made in step 4, and steam for 2 minutes over high heat, then for 20 minutes over very low heat. Allow it to cool in the pot, then place in the refrigerator to chill. Freshly made pudding is very soft, so letting it cool in the pot without moving it is essential! Main Pudding is done!

Step Six

Time for the caramel sauce! Put granulated sugar and water in a saucepan, stir thoroughly, and then place on medium heat. Shake and tilt the pan to dissolve the sugar, as stirring can make the sugar harden and become gritty. Avoid stirring!

Step Seven

Once it has taken on a deep color, has turned fragrant, and is slightly smoking, turn off the heat and add in the boiling water. Be careful, since steam rises! It's safer to use a container with a handle when adding boiling water. Sauce is done!

Step Eight

Time to make the sweet pumpkin! Remove the seeds and pulp from the quarter pumpkin with a spoon, and remove the skin with a knife, before cutting into bite-sized pieces. If you're young, ask a grown-up for help with the knife! Place the pumpkin on a heat-resistant plate, loosely cover with plastic wrap, and heat in a 600W microwave for 4 minutes.

Step Nine

Put the pumpkin you heated in Step Eight into a bowl, and mash with a whisk. While it's still hot, add the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and half of the beaten eggs, and mix.

Step Ten

Add the katakuriko (or potato starch) to the mixture you made in Step Nine, bring it together with your hands and divide it into 6-8 equal parts. Shape the hamster's body and hands, as well as some small stars, and arrange the paws in front of the hamster's head on a baking sheet, then brush with the remaining beaten egg. If the mixture is still too soft to shape, add more katakuriko (or potato starch) to adjust it.

Step Eleven

Half the almonds to make small ears, and place them on the pumpkin hamster's head that you made in step 10. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 Celsius (or 392 Fahrenheit) for 8 to 10 minutes, then allow to cool. Be careful when removing them from the oven, as they'll be hot!

Step Twelve

Dip a chocolate pen in hot water and cut the tip, and use it to draw the eyes, nose, and mouth of the hamster on the pumpkin hamster. Use the yellow chocolate pen to draw the eyes and mouth of the jack-o-lantern on the pumpkin container. If it's too difficult to write directly on the pumpkin itself, you can write on a baking sheet and place it in the refrigerator to cool before applying.

Step Thirteen

Place the pumpkin hamster on top of the pumpkin pudding, and the pumpkin stars between its paws. Finish by pouring the caramel sauce over the top, and serving while in the pumpkin container on whatever plate you wish.

This was tough to translate, but I hope you all appreciate the thorough and detailed description of the method of making this hamster pumpkin pudding today! It was a lot of work, but it'll be worth it! Let's all make something tasty in the upcoming months, alright? Régale-toi bien!

For today's prompt, I wasn't sure what I wanted to draw! The Mahoutsukai Cures are adorable, and with Mirai Days around the corner, they'd be fun to draw. However, given I've drawn the Mahou cures quite a bit, I asked some friends for help. Instead, I've drawn Cathy (the crystal ball) and Kouchou-Sensei (the principal of the magic school) from Mahoutsukai Precure having a little secret relationship.

Sir, return the communication device to the premises. Stop leaving and going on dates with her. People need to contact you.

So, there they are! Kouchou-sensei and Cathy!
