Madelyn Jones has always wanted to take over her aunt's bakery. For her dream to finally come true, she has to bake a wedding cake for a customer, and nail it to perfection. Soon, her original enthusiasm wavers, as she realizes she's dealing with the worst bridezilla in existence. Luckily for her, her best friend, Justin Valdez, is in town, on break from culinary school. To their advantage, he also happens to be the bride-to-be's nephew. He accepts to help Maddie out, and the pair start working on the most perfect wedding cake they can muster, so she can take the reins of the bakery she so desperately wants. 

But between sugar flowers and tasty fillings, it soon becomes more than a cake, as two best friends slowly understand that there is more than friendship lingering in the air. However, both of them are scared to admit their feelings, since it could ruin everything they have. But, as they spend their days alone in a small kitchen, how long can they deny it?

"My compliments to the chef." ~~~ Twenty-six year-old Kahlia Obisani is the youngest chef to have won the title of Food Doyen in the nation's toughest televised cooking competition. Overseen and judged by the biggest names in the culinary industry around the world, Kahlia became a national sensation when she won the title at the tender age of twenty. With her instant success and prize money, she set up her restaurant, a Michelin star establishment with her leading the helm as head chef. Her winning dish, now her signature dish, is the best selling item on the menu; a sweet dessert with root vegetables as the base ingredients. Thirty year-old Dorian Bankfurth is what most restauranteurs would consider the toughest food critic in the cooking scene. He's built and destroyed restaurants with a single review, putting multitudes of establishments on the map and driving even more into bankruptcy and closed doors. He's cold, judgemental, and cynical, but above all things he's fair. He gives reviews as honestly as he can, and has no problem giving credit where it's due. When his friends take him to award winning Obisani restaurant for his birthday, he's faced with a dish he never thought he'd encounter in his life; a dessert made from root vegetables. The kicker? Dorian hates sweet things. The moment he finally meets the chef behind the meal, both their worlds are rocked in a shocking contrast of sweet and sour. Kahlia's sweet disposition and Dorian's cold glare clash, sparking tension and whispers in those around them. Still, despite his abrasive attitude, Kahlia keeps smiling, infecting the man with a sweetness he hadn't known he was missing, and opening his palate to a whole new world he quickly became addicted to. When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Could he accept the one ingredient his recipe was missing?

Both strive to become valedictorians. Separately they both rank top students in their genders but for top students overall they are tied. That's a problem. Yuno's parents and Emi's parents are the best of friends. Since living next door to each other there is never a time they don't see each other's faces and since their family has occasional dinner together there is never a time that they don't see each other. Seeing one another almost every day is something they don't like. But they weren't always like this. Even though both of their parents are proud of them for their hard work and dedication they feel a little concerned about them overworking themselves. They aren't even pushing them to become valedictorian but they do want them to be happy and healthy. But all hell broke loose when they had this one family dinner together. Emi's father brought up the topic of grades as well as school and Yuno's father started discussing the plans for the future as the conversation progressed Yuno and Emi wanted it to stop so they shouted at the same time that they would become valedictorian.

Description☆ [very brief] Ashlyn never really vibed with the whole "school is important" thing. After years of half-hearted attendance, doodling elaborate cake designs in the margins of her math homework, and a spectacular final straw involving a fire alarm, a rogue rolling pin, and an angry vice principal, she dropped out of high school. With nothing but sheer chaos energy, an unhealthy caffeine addiction, and a talent for baking that somehow survived her questionable life choices, she decided to open a bakery. Did she have a business plan? Absolutely not. Did she know what an LLC was? Also no. But did she know how to make a triple-layer chocolate cake that could make a grown man cry? Yes. And that was enough. Armed with an apron covered in flour, a playlist full of unhinged bangers, and a habit of talking to her pastries like they're her emotional support animals, Ashlyn built her bakery from the ground up. The result? A sugar-fueled empire where customers come for the desserts but stay for the absolute feral energy of the owner. Sure, she might occasionally set off the smoke alarm, forget to charge customers because she got distracted mid-order, or accidentally lock herself in the walk-in fridge (again), but at the end of the day, Ashlyn is living her best life-one cake at a time. IMPORTANT NOTE! I failed my grammar back in highschool so like dont attack me. It's literally my second language :D Yeah so bye enjoyyy

Personally, I never saw myself as an optimistic person. I never really had any friends, I didn't share feelings for people, I never really had any social life whatsoever. My life was always boring. Especially when I was younger. My parents were sucked up alcoholics, we never had the money to do anything due to my mom quitting her job and my dad being a selfish prick. Though, I'm now an adult; 18 years old. No longer in school. I have job at Walmart as a nightshift stocker; my mother's friend gave me the job. It's summer, so I'm not working as much. I have a small friend group, containing people of 4. Me including, Nathan, Carly, and Dalton. We've known each other since early middle school. I, Kyle, have known Carly and Dalton since grade school. It is rolling up to be Summer. Us 4, have decided to make this Summer year the best of our lives. Join me and the others in our journey, exploring our emotions and different places. Getting into tight scenarios. Explore it through our different pov's. It's definitely a train ride! kyle..wyaa - tiktok enjoy my story! im not an experienced wattpad writer, and im not natively english, so just try your best to make up with my language. I will most likely be making a sequel to this story with different endings and scenarios. And, probably a copy but in my native language. ( Русский ) This story does have NSFW in it, and some trigger warnings. I, of course, will make sure to put the TW at the start of the story of what could possibly be triggering to some. + A lot of songs are used in this story, which some include with the title. Some artist's like, Deftones, $lothboi, Glass Animals, Nirvana, even some rappers song's are included! So, if you noticed anything related, drop a comment on the chapter to tell me you noticed! I try to keep each chapter a single word name as well, sometimes I add a subheading to the chapter :). thank you for reading lovelys

After fleeing from her scumbag ex and quitting college over three years ago Joanie Collins has now rebuilt her life running a little bakery back in her hometown. Happy to be alone rather than being hurt again, Joanie has built up high ice walls to protect her fragile heart and has sworn off all men. That is until troubled playboy millionaire Caleb Maverick returns home after being abroad for two years and they're forced to work together. Can Caleb melt this Ice queens heart and find peace for himself? ----------- "And what about me? Was it just a crush you had on me?" he says in a raspy hushed voice that makes me take a big gulp. I lean forward so I'm now closer also to Caleb and look him straight in the eyes. If we're going to be honest... then let's do this. "Your Caleb Maverick, everyone had a crush on you. The fact you were so oblivious to all the attention you got just added to your boyish charm. The girls at our school wanted one night with Ethan but they all wanted to settle down and marry you." I say honestly and Caleb actually looks surprised. He sits back in his chair looking genuinely puzzled, "That's not...that's not how I remember high school." He mutters before his eyes fix back onto me. "I remember being second best to Ethan for everything. Sports, grades, girls, Mia...you." he grits. ---------------------- The Sequel to 'More than just Neighbours'. I'd recommend reading that book first for these characters backstory x
