Cupcakes.
A delectable treat (almost!) everyone loves.
They have the ability to make you swirl with emotions. The ooey-gooey batter can make your taste buds melt with delight. The floaty frosting can make you feel like doing a thousand backflips. And one of the best things of all: the colors! Every bite is a new vibrant adventure through the many layers of deliciousness.
Most think this. Maybe all the people in the world, perhaps! Except for Cora York.
Her family owns the famous bakery, York and Co. Cakes, where they create works of art, all made of flour and other natural ingredients. The bakery is her life, for it is where she works, learns, and lives; considering the fact that her family owns the apartment directly above their first and most well-known shop.
One day, Cora decides it's all too much. The constantly trying numerous new flavors and recipes, almost never having any free-time to herself, and her strangely childlike parents who honestly might be less mature than Cora herself.
So, she packs up her things and moves to the cozy suburb of Wilson, Illinois. But the new life she dreamed of is nothing like the one she stumbled upon.

A story not meant to make you cry, but to make you delighted. And maybe make you want to sink your teeth into a tasty cupcake!
