So when an orc neighbor secretly enters her creations into the prestigious Elven Baking Battle, Arleta faces a dilemma.

Being magicless, her participation in the competition could draw more scowls than smiles. And if Arleta wants to prove her talent and establish her culinary reputation, this human will need more than just her pastry craft to sweeten the odds.

While competing, she'll set off on a journey of mouthwatering pastries, self-discovery, heartwarming friendships and romance, while questioning whether winning the Baking Battle is the true prize.

Escape to for a delightful cozy fantasy where every twist is a treat and every turn a step closer to home.

One of the best books I’ve read in years

A new convert to cozy fantasy, this is exactly the vibe I need in life. Please write more of these, world. Loved this book and can’t wait to read book two.

Such a cozy book

If you want something that is cozy, low-stakes, and whimsical, this is definitely the book for you. I read this whole book in less then 20 hours, it was such a good time. I loved the characters and the story was a very wholesome take on some popular fantasy tropes. If you like shows like the great British bake-off and books that have different kinds of creatures, like fairies, orcs, and talking cats, this is a great book to pick up.

It's sweet but....

The MC, isn't unlikeable but the fact she fights everything and everyone due to anxiety and is a stereo type. For a feel good book it's kinda frustrating

the friendships and growth

disliked: how long it took Arletta to embrace the idea of her and Theo. liked: It took me a few chapters to understand the names and "world" but then fell right into it !

Light reading

I really wanted to love this story. It was a gentle easy read for driving but the main character is as plain as a frozen bagel.
I feel like she may be the very definition of victim mentality. Which sucks so much because it had such a rich world to dive into.

It was adorable and then the ending. Was just…. It was bad. Like that was a waste of my time. If it was a physical book I would have stomped on it. I loved the world building and writing but I will never read another book by this author because I do not trust her.
