This is book #3 in the Cupcake Bakery Mystery series. This was also our Cook the Books book club pick for May 2020. We have previously read the preceding books. I have to say overall this is one of my favorite series we have picked for the book club. The books are short, the characters are well developed & interesting, & the plot line is really beefing up as we continue with the series. If you like cozy mysteries that are easy to read but not boring or mindless then you will enjoy these.
In this story we find out the Angie might be moving to LA to be with her rock star BF, Fairytale Cupcakes enters a cooking competition that is kinda of like Chopped or those Cupcake Wars shows on TV, & the guy who gets murdered is giving off some serious Anthony Bourdain vibes (even though this was written way before he died). Then plot twist at the end with another murder!
The story was well paced but I was able to figure out who the killer was pretty quickly. I don't mind when that happens though because then throughout the entire book they kept trying to throw you off. The recipes also sounded fantastic! They were your typical desserts you find in these books but they didn't have typical ingredients which was cool, I'll include one down below for you. I would definitely recommend this book & this series to lovers of cozy mysteries!
