Who iced the cupcake queen? Jen is determined to find out. With the help of her BFFs--fab foodblogger Gabby and lively life coach Elizabeth--she starts sifting for clues. She's got all the ingredients to solve the perfect crime, including one delectable detective, one divalicious diary, and enough industry rivals for a battle of the network stars. But is Jen prepared to risk her life as well as her waistline? No matter how you slice it, revenge is sweet--and loaded with carbs.
