Frosted! — Sara M. Barton

This stand-alone mystery is a hoot! Inspired by “The Great British Bake-Off”, “Cake Wars”, “Sweet Genius”, “Cupcake Wars”, and the hilarious comedy, “Chef!”.... When former White House pastry chef Margaret Klein teams up with Charlie Watson, owner and pastry chef at Decadent Desserts, to host “The International Killer Chefs Competition”, the last thing they expect is for anyone to actually commit a murder...or two...or three. Eight chefs are expected to participate in the first episode of the show...er, make that seven chefs and one imposter. When things go awry for the participants and judges, Mac Mckenna is called in to take on the case. Once a Secret Service agent assigned to the White House, now a private security expert with Pinnacle Enterprises, Mac has to go undercover to find the killer. That means the fake baker has to take a crash course in the art of fine pastries and fool the real bakers with the help of one very savvy assistant pastry chef. But murder isn't the only problem on the set of “The International Killer Chefs Competition”. Two of the three male chefs can't seem to control their machismo as they vie for the attention of their female counterparts. Histrionics, bitter rivalries, and outrageous antics abound as things quickly spiral out of control. Let the mayhem and heartbreak begin!
