Another fun adventure with the magical mystery book club.!!
I just love Frank - he's such a cheeky cat but it seems like there's a whole back story that we're going to get at some point so looking forward to that.
I loved this adventure and it had the usual twists and turns that we've come to expect. I love cake so it was fun to come across a murder mystery with cake at the centre of it all. Bizarre but fun.
Vee's character development was also wonderful and a great surprise. Just shows that there are many sides to people.

Ahhhh I just adore this series. So cozy, whimsical, funny, & easy. This series has become a comfort read for me this year.
This book is my least favorite in the series so far, I think it’s because it was a little longer & at times I found the plot to be a little repetitive (because everyday was very similar). That being said, I still enjoyed my time with the book & all the very lovable characters.
****Spoiler****
The ending made me sooooo saddddd. Vee is one of my favorite characters.

This one was really cute and fun! Our book club friends have found themselves in a cake contest obsessed town full of...fairies? Through some crazy competition and delicious cakes, Vee shows off her cake baking skills, revealing to the group that her day job is at a bakery!
Finding out who the bakery owners are, getting to know them, and participating in contests themselves, Sebastian, Vee, Zell, Glo, Paige, Atticus, Moonbeam, Forest, Frank, and now Mollie are able to search for clues and solve the mystery of the cake contest murders.
I was so surprised by who the murderer was, but their solution to it was so great and really helped to wrap things up for everyone to have a happy ending!

BAKERIES AND BUFFOONERY by Elizabeth Pantley
The Fourth Magical Mystery Book Club
It's no secret that the book club members love to eat, so when they find a mystery with a baking competition they're all in - literally. Traveling to a town called Frosting they see that the citizens take their cake competition seriously, taking sides and promoting their favorite bakeries. But something's odd. Some of the people wear wispy clothing and odd backpacks and have mesmerizing eyes and unique hair. Oh and someone dies every year. The crew will have to find out who hates cake and try to prevent this year's murder all while nibbling on baked goods and baking themselves.
This is no Great British Baking Show-the competition in Frosting is fierce and the competitors not always pleasant and helpful. In fact, they can be downright mean. Indeed, the town and some of its residents can be quite contradictory, nice one minute, angry the next. I couldn't stand those triplets! And how they treated that poor pie man, er, guy...
The fourth Magical Mystery Book Club book continues to be a festive celebration of food and friendship with murder! I love how the gang goes about enjoying whatever environment they're in, doing fun things and living their best life. I also love how they're growing. Forrest is really coming into his own and Vee shines in this outing as we learn more about her. I also appreciate how we, and they, are learning more about how the club works, the mysterious attic in the library, for instance, as well as getting hints about Frank's origins.
BAKERIES AND BUFFOONERY is full of surprises, which is one thing that makes this series so hard to review. I refuse to have spoilers so there's so much I can't say as I don't want to ruin things for you. Just know that there are lots of surprises and an uh oh turned awww one. I shan't say more.
Friendship, teamwork, and love make BAKERIES AND BUFFOONERY an enchanting mystery where cake and competition reign.
