Description
With Christmas just around the corner, the residents of Skipley village are gearing up for the annual bake off, and tensions are high.
Winning means a lot to everyone involved--talented cake-shop owner Katie dreams of baking stardom, Rachel wants to prove she's more than a stay-at-home mom, and John hopes his culinary skills will impress the woman he loves.
But when the judges discover that some cakes have been tampered with, the villagers' loyalties are called into question--whose ambition would stretch to sabotage, and why?
The Christmas Bake Off is an exclusive short story from Abby Clements, author of Meet Me Under the Mistletoe. This edition also includes bonus recipes for cinnamon cookies and vanilla and almond biscuits.
Beschreibung in Deutsch
Wunderbar. Weihnachtlich. Abby Clements.
Weihnachten steht vor der Tür, und die Bewohner des kleinen Dorfes Skipley bereiten sich fieberhaft auf den alljährlichen Backwettbewerb vor. Da kochen die Emotionen schon mal hoch, denn nicht nur einer will gewinnen. Die hochtalentierte Konditorin Katie träumt vom großen Back-Ruhm, Rachel möchte allen beweisen, dass sie nicht nur Hausfrau und Mutter ist, und John hofft, dass seine Backkünste die Frau beeindrucken, die er heimlich liebt. Doch als der Preisrichter sich ans Probieren macht, wird schnell klar, dass jemand den Wettbewerb sabotiert hat: Denn die süßen Kunstwerke schmecken nach Salz. Wer würde so etwas tun und das kurz vor Weihnachten?
Eine exklusive Kurzgeschichte mit köstlichen Plätzchen-Rezepten und einem Probekapitel zu "Der Kuss unter dem Mistelzweig".
