Publisher's Synopsis
Take five strangers with nothing in common except a passion for baking. Add a hotly contested competition and beat to stiff peaks. Bake to just the right degree of tension... The search is on for the new 'Mrs Eaden', an amateur baker so talented they are fit to emulate the author of the classic cookbook THE ART OF BAKING. Each contestant has a reason to bake. Jenny faces an empty nest; Claire has sacrificed her dreams for her daughter; Vicki struggles with motherhood; and Karen is determined not to let her facade slip. As alliances form and secrets emerge, making the choicest choux bun seems the least of their concerns. For they will learn - as Mrs Eaden did - that while perfection is possible in the kitchen, it's very much harder in life.
