Cupcakes And Conjures

There's nothing worse than a witch who can't magic. Except finding a body in the Taste of Magic Bakery... A not-so-witchy witch, Harper Dade never expected to return to Willow Hollow. Then again, she hadn't anticipated her now ex-husband absconding with her inheritance. But the discovery of a body in the middle of the cupcake creation class? Not on her list of things to happen in her hometown. Neither is the murder threatening to ruin the reputation of her aunt's bakery and destroying the town's entire tourist season. As the mystery heats up, Harper's fresh start crumbles. Add kitchen disasters and a severe onset of wishcraft, and her plans to solve the crime might remain half-baked. Among failed baking attempts, spells gone wrong and a renewed curse, the list of suspects grows, danger ramps and her homecoming ends up a recipe for disaster. Cupcakes and Conjures is the first book in the Witches of Willow Hollow paranormal cozy mystery series featuring a cat who talks on full moon nights, ghostly visitations and murders to solve.

From the creator of Peanut Butter & Cupcake comes a birthday book starring everyone's favorite dessert! What's a cupcake to do when she needs to plan her birthday party? In this hilarious, kid-friendly homage to food and birthdays, Cupcake runs through tons of ideas while her best friend, Blueberry Muffin, finds reasons why they won't work: Soup gets seasick; Donut melts in the sun; someome might get squashed during musical chairs; and Cupcake is not very good at limbo (her icing might get sliced off!). Just as Cupcake is ready to crumble, Blueberry Muffin has one last idea that just might save the day. With laugh-out-loud visual gags (like a band made up of beans--the musical fruit, of course), this book is sure to put a birthday smile on any kid's face (and on adult faces as well).
