When full time baker and reluctant part time sleuth, Sally Muccio, agrees to cater a glamorous baby shower at a customer's lavish home, she expects a day full of strawberry lemonade cookies, vanilla buttercream icing, and minimal drama.

What she doesn't expect is for the grandma-to-be to offer her fifty thousand dollars to find out who's trying to kill her.

Trudy Delvecchio is rich, pretentious, and without many fans, especially in her own family. While the money is tempting, Sal politely declines the offer. After all, she explains, she's a baker, not a professional detective. But when Trudy turns up dead the very same evening, with no obvious sign of foul play, something about the entire situation leaves a bitter taste in Sal's mouth. With a house full of suspects and lies rising faster than oven-proofed dough, Sal will need to sift through many secrets to uncover the truth, or she could be the one left in the dust.
