Cupcakes & Crumbs

Five estranged friends. One inherited cupcake shop. And a "soulless" franchise expansion that threatens to tear their hometown apart.

Bria Landon didn’t expect to come home to Berry Lake, and she certainly didn't expect to inherit fifty percent of her aunt’s beloved bakery alongside her estranged father. Her dad’s plan? Hire Bria’s high school sweetheart—and current worst enemy—to turn the local landmark into a corporate franchise… or sell it to the highest bidder.

To save her aunt’s legacy, Bria needs the Cupcake Posse: the four best friends who worked behind the counter with her fifteen years ago. But the women she remembers are all facing their own private battles:

– Juliet is fighting to prove she’s more than just a trophy wife in a gilded cage.

– Missy, a grieving widow, is terrified of losing the only job that keeps her grounded.

– Nell is drowning under the weight of a meddling mother who won't stop playing matchmaker.

– Selena is a world-class life coach who can fix anyone’s life… except her own.

As the Posse reunites to save the shop, they discover that returning home isn't as sweet as they remembered. With their friendship on the line and old flames reigniting, the women of Berry Lake must decide if their bond is strong enough to survive the secrets they’ve been keeping for over a decade.
