Bakery owner Hannah Swensen is leaving Lake Eden to help a friend in sunny California. But an unexpected phone call swiftly brings her back to a cold Minnesota winter . . . and murder . . .
 
When Hannah learns that her sister Michelles boyfriend, Detective Lonnie Murphy, is the prime suspect in a murder case, she flies straight home from a Los Angeles movie sound stage to frigid Minnesota. But proving Lonnies innocence will be harder than figuring out what went wrong with a recipe, especially with Lonnies hazy memory of the night in question. Hannah doesnt know what to believe. Before everything comes crashing down on Lonnie like a heaping slice of coconut layer cake, itll be up to Hannah to rack up enough clues to toast a flaky killer . . .
