Meet Me at the Cupcake Café by Jenny Cogan

July 2013


Baking is in Issy Randall’s blood. Growing up above her grandfather’s bakery taught Issy that a delicious pastry could make any day better. So when she’s laid off from her desk job—by the man she thought was her boyfriend, no less—Issy knows now is the time to start her own little café.

Armed with her grandfather’s tried and true recipes, as well as her own new dishes, Issy’s new dream job should be a piece-of-cake, right? But managing a café, delivering products on time and trying to have a new love life aren’t exactly going as Issy planned. And when her ex comes back into the picture, perhaps with his own motives, Issy’s search for the perfect pastry and a groundbreaking idea to save her café are much more than she bargained for… 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Jenny Colgan was a fussy eater as a child and didn’t even begin to learn to cook until she was 21, when her then boyfriend tried to teach her a few basics purely out of exasperation. While she is now able to make a variety of good, wholesome food for her family, she still can’t make scones. A former columnist for The Guardian, Jenny contributes regularly to national BBC radio and is the bestselling author of more than eleven novels, including The Loveliest Chocolate Shop in Paris (coming out in the US in early 2014). She is married with three children and lives in London and France. For more information, please visit http://www.jennycolgan.com/ and follow her on Twitter, @JennyColgan.

Follow along all month long for a chance to win a copy of this highly-anticipated and deliciously delightful new novel!

  14. I saw this book on Goodreads and wanted to read it. It has recipes in it?! Thats pretty cool :) I made lemon poppy seed cupcakes with a not too sweet vanilla frosting last week. They came out yummy.
    I went through a lemon phase. I had lemon cupcakes, lemon pudding (its actually good), lemon creme cake, etc.
    As a little girl my Dad (who raised me alone) would make normal sheet cakes. I ate so much of it he ended up making cupcakes to limit my intake. He's put candied cake decorations on them spelling out my name. I could have one letter per day & he'd know if I took more by the letter left. lolz.
    That didnt last long..lolz..
    Thanks for the giveaway :)
