Marigold didn't ask for magical baking powers, a talking muffin with authority issues, or a war between sentient cupcakes and bureaucratic badgers. But when an enchanted egg chooses her to bake the Recipe of Becoming, she finds herself whisk-deep in a full-blown pastry uprising.

With a grumpy ex-Ministry enforcer, a sword-wielding frosting expert, and Regret (literally a muffin with anxiety), Marigold must lead a band of rebellious desserts against a regime that sees sentient sweets as crumbs beneath their boots.

The fate of frosting hangs in the balance.

Will diplomacy rise—or will everything collapse like an underbaked soufflé?

A mystical comedy full of flaky alliances, overcooked egos, and the true meaning of butter.
