Set in 1980, 7 years after the events of "Come Back to me Sweet Love of Mine". This story is as a continuation and spin-off, with Julian as the protagonist. While certain details in "Cake Boy" will make more sense if you read "Come Back to me Sweet Love of Mine", it can stand on its own. This story is highly inspired by "The Great British Baking Show", so if you love that show, you'll enjoy this story. Although set in Spain, I made a creative decision for all the characters to speak in English. Also, I've added asterisks to recipes that some may not be familiar with. At the end of each chapter, a description will be provided.
Thank you.
Summary:
17-year old Julian worries that he will forever live under the shadow of his father, John Lennon. Now at the crossroads of youth and adulthood, he's struggling to figure out who he is and what he wants out of life. In an attempt to distinguish himself from his father, Julian latches on to one passion that's completely separate from him: cooking. When a prestigious culinary school decides to hold a baking competition to attract new students, Julian is thrusted into an unexpected adventure of cakes, pies, and 10 extremely talented bakers.
As the competition develops, he not only makes new friends but begins to develop feelings for one particular baker. While that relationship blossoms, Julian's relationship with John dwindles. Slowly, his insecurities and anxieties about his father, his future, and his feelings begin to affect him in ways he never imagined. With a father-and-son relationship under deep threat, a romance in the making, and a competition to win, can Julian come out of this unscathed and finally figure out who he really is? There's only one way to find out.

Highschool Sweethearts
Katelyn has been in and out of the foster system since her mother died when she was young. After her father gets put in jail again, she gets sent to live with the Thomas family. The Thomas's are a very well-off family with four boys. Their house is usually the main hangout for the boys and their friends. Kate hasn't ever lived with siblings before, let alone this many boys, so it's a big change for her. Daniel is your typical high school football player; he's got the looks, the muscles, talent, and even the overbearing dad who wants him to go pro. Daniel, however, really couldn't care less about a career in football, he loves the game, but it's his dad's dream for him to go pro, not his own. At least not anymore. He spends most of his free time away from his house and hanging out at either the Thomas or the Copperfield house. He can't wait to go off to college with his friends and get away from his dad and the stupid little town he grew up in. How will things change for them over the next year? This will be a series of 4, but the other books will be spin-offs and can be read as stand-alone books. They will, however, be published in chronological order. Full warning, this book is much shorter than I intend on making the spin-offs. I was planning on writing book two as the first in the series but found myself needing more of a prequel to all three other books, and so I chose to write something from their high school years. Bonus points for giving Daniel a love interest that was more than just a name.Complete
