There was just something extra sweet about this read and it wasn't just all the sweet bakery treats in-between the pages.

This will also benefit the baker and help them kickstart their careers. As Sam gets near the end of the competition, she starts to doubt herself as the other participants are from big named bakeries or popular social media influencers and she is a foster kid from the backwoods near the Appalachian Trail. Around the middle of the bo...
