Cakespell

15-year-old Rose Zapata is an aspiring professional baker (with a secret crush) who's only seen love in the movies. But all that changes when she discovers her late grandmother's vintage baking tools in her grandpa's closet. Along with a family secret: Rose is a witch--a kitchen witch. And after accidentally releasing her nana's matchmaking "Cakespell," Rose is the only one who can wield its power.

When news spreads about Rose's love-infused goodies, classmates, teachers, and even her crush, Caleb, flock to her door. As business booms, fame does too. Principal O'Dell enlists her in the school's Battle of the Bakers, everyone wants a taste of Rose's cake magic, and even her overprotective mother begins to feel the Cakespell's sweet effects.

Can Rose whip up some love for herself before she drowns in orders, or will the Cakespell overtake her life? A story about family and friendships, Cakespell will have you believing in love, magic, and the power inside us all.
