However, recent episodes are now written by Chaister Garrincha and Braddock Schroeder, who are currently the show's Executive Producers since April 2021.

As of 2022, the show is currently available for streaming on Kiddie Plus.

## Plot

Designed to encourage preschool-age children to develop their baking creativity, the series follows the five title characters -- themed after different Funfetti treats, respectively -- as they work together, the kids whip up amazing desserts in most of the episodes. If the treats are successfully saved, Sweetsie uses her colorful surprise charms that produce special effects depending on the episode, to which she calls "The Magic Finish". The candied friends combine magic and teamwork to make the best birthdays ever.

Each episode features a different original recipe that children can learn to make themselves. The series has a fun, goofy and whimsical style that includes absurd situations and plenty of jokes. Also, embedded in each story is creative cooking, learning concepts, and a curriculum that focuses on social skills aimed at ages 2-8. Songs are also featured in every episode.

## Reception and achievements

*Ready to Decorate* is well praised for its creative stories, good humor, and colorfully detailed animation. The show has received incredibly positive reviews from parents of young children, as well as fans, audiences, and critics alike.

Common Sense Media has commented favorably, describing it as "a modern take on the classic birthday cake mix".

## Characters

* **Sweetsie Candycream** (voiced by Jennie Coddington in the US and UK) is a party planner at her playhouse, a bakery and confectionery shop that resembles a Funfetti cake. She is an imaginative young girl who loves tinkering, creativity, and coming up with ideas. Her theme is birthday sweets, and is the show's titular character.
* **Pillsbury Doughboy** (voiced by Braddock Schroeder in the US and Davidson Matthews in the UK) appears in every episode helping his best friends.
* **Jingle Bella** (voiced by Cherrix Carregando in the US and Cassidy Campbell in the UK) is always hopeful with a belief in Christmas spirit. She also functions as the show's Santa Claus parody, often giving out many gifts at unexpected moments. Her theme is holiday sweets.
* **Peeperton** (voiced by Maxillane Charrest in the US and Teresa Gallagher in the UK) is a very shy five-year-old. She's constantly nervous, always certain that anything can go wrong. Sometimes her overly cautious personality frustrates the others. But when it comes to dreaming up treats with bunnies and eggs, Peeperton is full of many ideas. Her theme is Easter sweets.
* **Valentinel** (voiced by Dallaire Wippenberg in the US and Latrice Williams in the UK) is very helpful and loving. Her theme is Valentine Day sweets.
* **Halloweekend** (voiced by Gallego Slovencina in the US and Jeffrey Tolliver in the UK) loves nothing more than trick-or-treating. His theme is Halloween sweets.
* **Vanilla** (voiced by Tree Adams in the US and UK) loves tagging along on the other kids' adventures. Being the youngest of the gang, she is nice, loving, and loyal to everyone. Her theme has a various assortment of sweets.
* **The Narrator** (voiced by Tree Adams in the US and UK) speaks over the entire show, and often communicates directly with the characters. Sweetsie has a good relationship with her, and is always really delighted to see (hear) her. The narrator is also at times physically involved in the events of the episodes, making her more of a heard-but-not-seen character. However, there is another group of kids who, like The Narrator, speak over the show, answering questions asked by The Narrator in order to assist Sweetsie in baking or to let her in on what's happening.
