Start with one very talented author. For this specific recipe I suggest Donna Kauffman. Next you need one very catch title. For this specific recipe I have the suggestion of SUGAR RUSH. Lastly add in one pastry chef, named Leilani Trusdale, and one very hunky restaurant owner, television personality by the name of Baxter Dunne. Blend in a touch of the small town of Sugarberry, Georgia along with a few of it's residents, primarily senior citizen, Alva, Leilani's dad (who is also the town sheriff) , Leilani's assistant at her cupcake shop, Dre, and lastly throw in a few of Leilani's friends from New York.

When you follow this recipe as directed you will be enjoying the first in Donna Kauffman's newest series, A Cupcake Romance. There's enough friction between Leilani and Baxter to start the ovens and keep them burning nicely while not overheating.

The added flavor of the secondary characters doesn't detract from the main taste of the story, but rather enhances the story, and helps to set up future stories rather smoothly.

As with many new recipes there were a few missteps along my reading journey, but in the end I was well, and truly satisified and looking forward to seeing all these ingredients age well, and transition into many more pleasurable reading hours for me, and others as well.
