Always! And not just the pretty pastries themselves, but Jenn McKinlay's cupcake-themed cozies. Which means that I was more than game to read one of her latest, Fondant Fumble. Although I don't follow football, I was hooked the moment the nefarious owner of the Arizona Scorpions (not a real team) turns up dead in his own QB Keogh's cupcake shop. The owner didn't want Keogh selling cupcakes -- apparently it isn't a good look -- and that doesn't look good for Keogh. Naturally, cupcake MVP Mel sets out to clear Keogh's name -- as well as prevent his punting partner from eating all the profits. But then the killer kicks things up a notch. With the goalposts constantly moving, the cupcake crew needs a Hail Mary more than ever in this, their flour of need.
Fondant Fumble is a sweet treat touchdown. Partly because the plot is clever, partly because it shows that football players are people too.
And sometimes people just want to bake cupcakes. 🏈🧁

Oh, cupcakes and football! Who knew! Such a fun premise! It made me smile at the thought of smashing cupcakes into each other's mouths..some how..and a serial killer too! ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 Thank you for your comments. Oh, I do have a red area just below where I had my Covid shot, but it isn't horrible..just a little tender at the moment. We now have the Gram nearby so I wanted to make sure I got those vaccines and hopefully where she is staying she will be vaccinated soon. The library opens Monday. I have had some crazy dreams already with books falling on the floor and becoming a huge mess of yarn. Thanks again for reading and your wonderful comments. Yes, so many transitions..and Jen finally had her baby. Of course, I have brought back a character that I wrote about before the pandemic...Oddly, I switched faceclaims..so who used to be "Rico" at Caitlin and Megan is now "Oliver" in Ellie. Meanwhile the new Faceclaim Rico is getting in the mix with Mona at Caitlin and Megan.
Thanks for your sharing
Okay, this book sounds like it's a lot of fun!! I love the concept of football and cupcakes coming together into a cozy mystery, and it sounds like a "sweet treat touchdown" indeed! 🏈🧁 (And I'm always ready for cupcakes!)
Sounds like a nice light and fun read. It's so nice that you are still able to keep up with your reading. Are you still doing bookclub with your mom and sister? My bookclub dissolved a few years ago. I keep saying that I will find or start a new one, but somehow with traveling back and forth, I just haven't done it..
