CHAPTER ELEVEN

AURORA

Music blared through the speakers as I swayed my hips to the beat, piping bag in hand and a smile on my lips. While part of me wanted to say this good mood was because of who I had woken up with that morning and how we’d woken up, the honest part of me knew it was because of the cake currently looking like the pièce de resistance of my entire baking career.

Sex and emotions were nice.

But sometimes cake was better.

I must have had a little too much sugar and caffeine and not enough vegetables because sex with Ridge was far better than cake.

However, looking at all of my hard work and knowing I’d kicked ass?

That was freaking fantastic.

I stood back and smiled at the cake. It was a salted caramel cake with a decadent fluffy and moist interior with rich buttery filling. I had added oozes of salted caramel for an extra delight. Just a touch of salt made it intensely amazing, if I did say so myself. I had made a set of pistachio cupcakes earlier, and I was thrilled with how they turned out. The dessert for the restaurant tonight was a raspberry chocolate truffle cake, which had been fun to make. Later I’d be working on a carrot cake, as well as peanut butter cupcakes for a baby shower. Tomorrow I had a Bananas Foster cake and a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting scheduled to bake. And then later this week I was making a coffee cake with vanilla espresso buttercream, and a caramel apple cake. Next week I got to play with an Earl Grey and vanilla bean buttercream, and then a lemon elderflower cake.

My mouth was watering just thinking about all of that, plus I had a tasting with the pistachio and the salted caramel and a hazelnut praline as well as a vanilla latte with a fresh raspberry jam. I loved my job, and I loved working with clients and figuring out their perfect cakes. Because many of the weddings were big enough to need more than one cake, I got to do cupcakes and desserts and cream cakes as well. That meant a lot of flavors, but a lot of hard work that I could take pride in.

My stomach rumbled, and I realized that I’d only had cake and coffee most of the day. It was time for me to eat a real meal and take care of myself.

“My mouth is watering just looking at that,” Kendall said from behind me, and I looked over my shoulder and smiled.

“I am pretty proud of myself with this one. Now I just need to make the caramel-covered praline shards and shoots, and it’ll be ready to go.”

“That won’t take you that long at all.”

“And then I head over to the photographer, and the staff will be cutting it so I don’t have to be there, which is good because we have a long list to work through.”

My stomach rumbled again, and Kendall raised a brow.
