Sugar and spice and murderous vice. Thats what pageants are made of... Normally Melanie Cooper and Angie DeLaura wouldnt be caught dead at a beauty pageant, but when Mels mom asks them to provide cupcakes for the seventy-fifth annual Sweet Tiara contest as a favor for her best friend, they cant say no. Plus, between cooking up a daily display for the three-day event and sponsoring a cupcake creation challenge for the participants, Fairy Tale Cupcakes will get great publicity. But the world of pageants is even hotter than Mels kitchen. A high-strung judge and a pushy stage mom target Lupe, a young friend of Mel and Angies, at the competition and aim to take her out--by any means necessary. When the same judge shows up dead underneath Mel and Angies cupcake display, Lupe is crowned the lead suspect. Now Mel and Angie will have to find the real killer quickly or Lupe may be strutting the catwalk in prison pinstripes...
