In Sugar and Spice, we first met The Cake King who for his sister who is getting married decided to pick nine bakers and have a competition to see who would make the cake for his sister's wedding. In Book #3 we meet contestant Maya who I loved her character as she may be great at baking but she doesn't love it, her passion is writing romance books.
