The perfect bake is no piece of cake..

Marie Dunwoody doesn't want for much in life.She has a lovely husband,three wonderful children,and a business of her own.But her cupcakes are crap.Her meringues are runny and her biscuits rock hard.She cannot bake for toffee.Or,for that matter,make toffee.. Marie can't ignore the disappointed looks any more,or continue to be shamed by neighbour and nemesis,Lucy Gray.Lucy whips up perfect profiteroles with one hand,while ironing her bed sheets with the other.Marie's had enough:this is the year it all changes..

• A delicious feast of a very funny novel.It really does have a laugh on every page..
