<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The third "entertaining...and tasty read" (<i>Entertainment Weekly</i>) in the Daphne Martin Cake mystery series.</b> <p/>A recipe...for murder? Life is sweet for Daphne Martin right now, from her flourishing cake-decorating business to a rekindled romance with her high school boyfriend, Ben. All that's about to change, courtesy of famously foul-mouthed celebrity chef Jordan Richards. The TV star has come to Brea Ridge, Virginia, for the town's lavish cake competition, but he won't be leaving under his own steam. After his first master class, Jordan is found bludgeoned with a cake stand and drowned in some very bitter batter. <p/>Plenty of townsfolk think the curmudgeonly confectioner had it coming, but the half-baked evidence points to Daphne as a prime suspect. With Ben mulling a new job offer--in Kentucky--Daphne is faced with a multilayered dilemma. She needs to somehow keep her boyfriend, win the cake competition, and sift out the real culprit...before the killer serves up another victim.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"All the right ingredients for a delicious read."--Award-winning author Ellen Crosby<br><br>"Daphne gets to investigate the complexities of the human condition, with one hand on her mixer and the other wielding a piping bag...A must read for cake bakers and anyone who has ever spent creative time in the kitchen!"--Kerry Vincent, Sugar Artist and Food Network Challenge judge<br><br>"One day I found myself happily reading mysteries by Gayle Trent.
