Review Praise for the Magical Bakery MysteriesSpellwork, tasty recipes, an adorable Cairn terrier familiar, and of course, the genial camaraderie of family and covens.--Kings River Life Magazine “As a fan of magic and witches in my cozies, Cates’s series remains a favorite.”-Fresh Fiction“Ms. Cates has most assuredly found the right ingredients...a series that is a finely sifted blend of drama, suspense, romance, and otherworldly elements.”-Once Upon a Romance“Cates is a smooth, accomplished writer who combines a compelling plot with a cast of interesting characters.”-Kirkus ReviewsFun and exciting reading.-USA Today“If you enjoy...Ellery Adams’s Charmed Pie Shoppe Mystery series, and Heather Blake’s Wishcraft Mystery series, you are destined to enjoy the Magical Bakery Mystery series.”-MyShelf An entertaining read with plenty of twists and turns around each corner.-The Genre Minx Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Chapter 1 Using the tips of my fingers, I gently stripped the tiny, pungent leaves of thyme from their woody stems. The air around me thickened with the scent of herbal goodness. I inhaled deeply with my eyes half closed, and my lips barely moved in a silent invocation to trigger the plants powers of courage and healing. As a hedgewitch, this kind of green spell was my special talent. As a professional baker, my brand of kitchen magic was a handy addition to my recipes. As part owner of the Honeybee Bakery along with my uncle Ben and aunt Lucy-who was a hedgewitch like me-my gift allowed me to add beneficial dashes of enchantment to the pastries our customers loved so much. Lucy and I were spending the last hour before the Honeybee closed working on two new recipes. The thyme was for a blood orange thyme cake Id been fine-tuning for a few days, and Lucy was developing a new treat with Halloween-and the Honeybee Halloween party-right around the corner: gummy worms crawling out of gooey dirt brownies made with dark chocolate and a tasty dollop of cherry jam. Lucy tipped her head and examined her work. Katie? Come take a look. What do you think? Brushing off my hands, I moved to stand beside her. Shed carefully created holes in the brownies, and the worms really did look like they were crawling out. Looks yummy but just gross enough that the kids will love them, I said. Good. She sounded satisfied. Well add them to the mix. So far, we have spiderweb red velvet cookies, homemade marshmallow ghosties, marzipan shortbread jack-o-lanterns, and nutty popcorn balls. We need something with candy corn for the Halloween party. Cupcakes? She nodded. Definitely. We can layer the batter to make the cakes yellow and orange, then frost them with white buttercream and decorate with candy corn. And our usual full-moon sugar cookies will go with the theme. Ill bring my old cast-iron Dutch oven to use as a cauldron. Your uncle has alrea
