What an absolutely delicious mystery! Cinnamon Crumb is not good at baking, though she would love to be. Her town, Marzipan, is almost entirely dedicated to baking- from profiteroles to madeleines and sponges. In fact, many of the famous families are named exactly after delicious cakes and bakes.
The Great Cake Carnival has just started when Cinnamon’s help is enlisted by two of the town’s star bakers. They each suspect the other of sabotage and Cinnamon finds herself gathering clues like ingredients. While it certainly seems as though Maddie and Victoria are being sabotaged, Cinnamon is not sure who the saboteur is….yet!
Armed with her dedication and ingenuity, not to mention her bestie Rafi, and new friend, Amber, Cinnamon stumbles across long held secrets about her family, the impressive Twelve Tiered Crown and one perfect suspect!
However, as with any perfectly told story, there are twists, turns, surprises and exploding cakes! Will Cinnamon, Rafi and Amber find the saboteur before the judging of the cake competition begins?
Read this book to discover just how delicious a story can be! Also, one piece of advice- read with cake nearby as you will definitely need it! Perhaps a hot chocolate to make it the most perfect afternoon.
An utterly perfect beginning to a new series. Cinnamon Crumb is a brilliant character, sweet, caring and determined. I can’t wait to read more!
