Chapter 13

“We’re going to the Super Duper to get some supplies,” Ethel said.

Dodie smoothed the back of her ponytail. “I’m really not sure I can do this.”

Aunt Carol tugged at Dodie’s apron and flashed her a winning smile. “Yes, you can. I taught you exactly what a new baker should know, and they say the best way to engrain what you know is to teach others. So you are the perfect person to teach other brand new bakers. Besides, we’ll be back before the Intermediates are here.”

“All right,” said Dodie, trying to psych herself up. “I can do this, I can do this, I can do this.” Who would have ever guessed that Dodie, who might as well have been called the burner as well as the baker, would be put in charge of the class of the whole bakery store, when it mattered most?

As she watched Carol and Ethel bustle out with their baskets, which they would return with full to the brim with Valentine Ball decorating and baking supplies, she imagined what she would wear to the Valentine Eve Sweetheart Bakeoff if she were asked.

The thought of starting a new romance both scared and excited her at this point in her life. She had lost all hope for love, or so she had thought. Then why did she have the butterflies in her stomach? Maybe she really could have a second chance at love in this sweet town. She stifled the thought and got back to work.

In the cold light of day she had begun to reconsider her cake idea, doubting she could pull it off or even if there’d be a suitable man there to buy it, but when Carol had caught her doubting expression that morning one side of her mouth had turned up in a mysterious smile and she’d winked.

“You just go out and buy yourself the prettiest dress you can find,” she’d said. “That’s all you have to worry about.”

Ethel had leant over when Dodie had reluctantly opened the baking book. Her eyes had widened but her voice was kind.

“That’s not the simplest of recipes, dear, in fact, it’s so complicated I doubt I’d…”

“No, no, it’s perfect,” Carol had interrupted. “I hear a certain someone loves chocolate.”

Dodie’s heart had fluttered.

“A certain someone?” Did they already have someone in mind?

Carol had grinned and adjusted her beehive. “Never you mind.”

So Dodie dreamed of dresses while she sat alone in the bakery, waiting for her final class with Tassy, Justine, Stephanie and Carina. The plan was that the Beginner group would come at 10am, the Intermediates at 1pm and the Advanced group at 4pm. Supposedly this would give them all enough time to finish their baked goods for the big day tomorrow, but Dodie wasn’t sure, especially when the Beginners were under her watch.

Besides that, they expected a swarm of customers, especially men buying valentine’s treats for their sweethearts. Carol and Ethel had been holed up in the bakery almost every hour of the day and night
