Ressenya escrita per a Crítics Matiners de LibraryThing .Amber and her little sister Ava are playing the sweet treats board game when an earthquake hits and suddenly the sisters are landing on a blue trampoline of Jello-they are in the game! When Ava is kidnapped by the evil Queen it’s up to Amber and her new friends from Sweet Treats Kingdom to get her back and hopefully get back home. This is a very fun and adventurous young adult novel. I thank Librarything and Kim Davis for the opportunity to read and review this book.
A great start for a series. Loved all the characters and the settings. I will be reading the rest of the series.
There are maybe a dozen cozy mystery series (and I have read A Lot of cozy mysteries!) that I actively trackdown when the next book is coming out, and the Cupcake Catering Mysteries by Kim Davis is one of those because I know I will always enjoy them.
The two main reasons are the characters and the food descriptions/recipes.
What keeps drawing me back to this series is the relationship between Emory and Tillie, and how well they compliment each other. Add in a long lost sister and a friend to round off the ensemble and it’s a group of friends that anyone would be fortunate to have. Besides the strong and witty women, all of Davis’s characters are so well developed. Even the nasty people are enjoyable (in a way) because they are so well written.
As a cooking cozy series I am always impressed with the amount of recipes included and how well Davis incorporates the baking into the story. Some food cozies barely mention recipes, but Davis weaves the baking, eating, and the delivering of her catering into the story seamlessly. Muddled Matrimonial Murder takes place near Thanksgiving so there are a bunch of cranberry recipes which I’m excited to try since we live near three cranberry bogs and have fresh cranberries available year round.
The mystery was done well and all the red herrings point to one or both of the grooms doing the deed. At first I wasn’t too keen on the final reveal, but the more I thought about it the more I began to like it, since it’s normally the opposite sex who has this type of thought pattern as to why they did the killing, so it was fun to see it changed up.
Another great book in the Cupcake Catering Mysteries and I’m looking forward to my next visit.… (més)

me stuck here at home with Ava? All the girls in my sixth-
grade class were decorating cupcakes about now and
dressing up for Paris-themed photo-booth pictures. Jada
promised to save me a goodie bag and a piece of her
birthday cake, but it didn’t make me feel better.
“I said leave me alone.” I picked the game board up
and threw it at the wall. The board crumbled into little
pieces. Must have been made in China.
Ava’s blue eyes filled with shiny tears while her lowe
