Rising Star Games today announced that Cooking Mama: Sweet Shop is confirmed for a retail box release on May 16th in North America, with a digital release set for May 18 on the Nintendo 3DS. In partnership with Japanese development studio Office Create, gamers will create a myriad of sweet treats and dazzling deserts in the fun and adorable style of the beloved Cooking Mama series.

I wasn’t even aware that Cooking Mama was still a thing, but I do remember friends saying the original was a bit of casual fun. I’m not sure if the game actually teaches you how to cook, but whatever the case, following along can’t be any worse than the “food” I make for myself in my sad, sad little hovel.

With over 60 different recipes to create, spread throughout 160 different mini-games, players use the stylus to slice, stir, bake and decorate their creations – you can even use the microphone to blow and cool your delicacies! Create a wide assortment of delicious looking sweets and puddings, and serve customers in the shop to keep them happy. The more sweets you create and complete, the more your shop expands.

You may even trigger a special event! Cooking Mama: Sweet Shop also features a competitive multiplayer mode for two to four players – challenge your friends and see who can make the tastiest treats. And just like always, don’t worry if you make a mistake – Mama will fix it for you!
