Cupcakes and Curses

A Magical Bakery Cozy Mystery

Cupcakes, curses, and a very inconvenient murder…

Hazel Foxglove thought opening Foxglove & Crumb would be the hardest part of moving back to Ashfern Hollow. Between her ghostly grandmother’s unsolicited baking advice and a kleptomaniac raccoon familiar, her magical life is already complicated enough.

But when her experimental foresight cupcakes spark unsettling visions at the town séance—and the local psychic collapses from poisoned tea—suspicion falls squarely on Hazel’s enchanted baking.

Now the new baker is the prime suspect, her reputation on the line, and a nosy citizens’ committee demanding she leave town. With Deputy Eli Thorn watching her every move (and stirring feelings Hazel definitely doesn’t have time for), she’ll need more than frosting swirls to clear her name.

Armed with her best friend Ivy’s unpredictable psychic flashes, Agnes’s sassy ghost commentary, and Remy the raccoon’s chaotic “help,” Hazel must untangle a trail of secrets, blackmail, and magical mischief before the killer strikes again.

Because in Ashfern Hollow, murder is never just a coincidence—and even the sweetest cupcakes can hide deadly surprises.

Cupcakes & Curses is the second Foxglove & Crumb mystery—a cozy blend of small-town magic, laugh-out-loud antics, a dash of slow-burn romance, and a fair-play whodunit. Perfect for fans of Bailey Cates, Amanda M. Lee, and Ellery Adams.
