Meet Me at the Cupcake Café
by
Jenny Colgan
July 2013
Baking is in Issy Randall’s blood. Growing up above her
grandfather’s bakery taught Issy that a delicious pastry could make any day
better. So when she’s laid off from her desk job—by the man she thought was her
boyfriend, no less—Issy knows now is the time to start her own little café.
Armed with her grandfather’s tried and true recipes, as well as
her own new dishes, Issy’s new dream job should be a piece-of-cake, right? But
managing a café, delivering products on time and trying to have a new love life
aren’t exactly going as Issy planned. And when her ex comes back into the
picture, perhaps with his own motives, Issy’s search for the perfect pastry and
a groundbreaking idea to save her café are much more than she bargained
for…
ABOUT
THE AUTHOR: Jenny Colgan was a fussy eater as a child and didn’t even begin to learn
to cook until she was 21, when her then boyfriend tried to teach her a few
basics purely out of exasperation. While she is now able to make a variety of
good, wholesome food for her family, she still can’t make scones. A former
columnist for The Guardian, Jenny
contributes regularly to national BBC radio and is the bestselling author of
more than eleven novels, including The
Loveliest Chocolate Shop in Paris (coming out in the US in early 2014). She
is married with three children and lives in London and France. For more
