Many thanks to my terrific critique partners Mary Greathouse, Kathleen Brebes, Rebecca Blevins and Nichole Giles, for their help and feedback on this story. I couldn’t publish a book without the help of others whose notes and thoughts make my stories so much better. And special thanks to Tristi Pinkston for her time fixing all of my misplaced commas and funky sentences when I know how busy she’s been.

Thanks to my test kitcheners, Lisa Swinton, Laurel Wilson, Jordan McCullom, Kristen Robison, Monique Leutkemeyer and Jenna Swinton. The alternate suggestions on the recipes and some adjustments came from them. And thanks to my parents, husband and friends who got to be guinea pigs for my many variations and tweaks when I was still in recipe-development mode.

Thanks to my sweet husband, Bill, for doing my cover, building and updating my website, and just being a constant support in everything I do. I truly would not be where I am in my career without you. I love you, honey!

 

 

Heather Justesen remembers making her first scratch cake when she was about thirteen. Thankfully, her baking skills have improved dramatically from the lopsided, but tasty mess she made that day. When she’s not writing or developing recipes, she runs with the local volunteer ambulance, enjoys gardening, playing with her chickens, cake decorating and working with her husband in their small business.
