What is the stop-motion series about?

The story takes us to Mariland, where My Melody opens her own super cute cake shop. But her sugar-filled days take a twist when she finds a mysterious pink heart in the forest, and strange things start happening! Across the street, Kuromi runs her own Japanese sweets shop but struggles to pull in customers. The two sweet rivals soon get ready for a bake-off, where the famous pastry chef Pistachio will judge their yummy creations.
