A candy-making contest brings two interests together

Candice would rather spend time in her grandmother’s kitchen making sweets than navigate high-school drama. When she learns she has a place in a competition hosted by her favorite candy shop, she must decide whether to enter. Troy, whose love of candy has led him to take lessons from his mother, has already submitted for a spot. Their shared interest in confectionery gives the story its central thread, alongside Candice’s time with her grandmother and the choice of stepping into a competition.

  • Teens and young adults interested in a high-school story with a candy-making competition.

Book overview

Candice enjoyed spending time with her grandma and creating all sorts of sweets and candies. To the extent that she preferred working in her grandma's kitchen over spending time with her classmates and enduring all of the high school drama. To her surprise, she finds that she has been entered into a candy making contest being held by her favorite candy shop, Christoph's Confections. She actually has a spot in the competition, if she decides to take it.

Troy had always enjoyed sweets and candies. To the point that his mom told him he needed to learn how to create them himself or give them up. After convincing his mom to teach him, he attends various classes to learn just that. When he hears about a competition that his favorite candy shop, Christoph's Confections, is holding, he immediately submits for a slot.
