This is the second entry in Ellie Alexander's Bakeshop series. The setting, which is charmingly described, is Ashland, Oregon. Which happens to be the location of the Oregon Shakespeare festival. Lots of Shakespearean quotes in the book, which I enjoyed.
In this episode, a television baking competition called âTake the Cakeâ. Brings several out of town pastry chefs to Ashland to compete in the show. When tMarco, the celebrity chef on the show is murdered, our main character Jules just can't help trying to find the murderer.
In this second book, we get to know more about Jules and the other employees at Torte, the family bakesop. I like All these characters a lot and am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Second book in the series. Good follow-up. Realistic (as realistic as can be in a 'cozy' mystery) characters. Interesting setting. However, I'd steer clear of the main character - everywhere she goes in her hometown after returning from a lengthy absence, someone dies. And at this rate, she's going to be one of the hospital's best customers - with every case comes a new injury ~ LOL. Good read
