An endearing selection of short (some very short) stories. A good way to get to know lots of different authors and worth getting for the cupcake recipes.
I enjoyed the read, several short stories incorporating a romance and baking. I'm pleased that not all recipes are for cupcakes, there are some delectable puddings, fruit mixes and tray bakes.
The stories range from New Adult characters to mature ones, with excursions around the world from newfoundland to Italy but many tales are set in Britain. Challenges include bake sales, baking birthday treats for the office, student life, a possible love who is considered a possible murderer by some, and foreign romance. Good variety.
