Synopsis
Hudson had found her home, it was in the ice and figure skating was what she was born to do. One day she discovered the evidence that turned out to be the end of her parents marriage, guilt took over and she knew she couldn't give her heart to the only thing only she and her father shared, figure skating.
Years later Hudson found another passion doing cupcakes with a unique, interesting and mouthwatering combinations on her mothers dinner, but then a letter comes and brings back her hopes to figure skate once more and get to live the life she was meant for before she walked out and shut them down.
Review
This story doesn't really center itself around romance, but that does not mean that part isn't good or cute, all the mixed signals and awkwardness of young love really makes one of the parts that I love about this book. Another thing that was really good and I feel there should be a label is the cupcakes description at the beginning of every chapter, the label for this book should say "warning: this book will have you craving Hudsons cupcake creations more than once".
The tittle is perfect for this book, it started out perfect it had a lot of funny and sweet moments but then Hudson losses her way and takes us to a finally that has left me feeling bittersweet.
This is a good read for a cold day with some cocoa and maybe a cupcake or two ;)

Rating: 8 out of 10
