Baby Cakes by S.J. Tilly is a series of three holiday novellas but it reads as one story. It’s a cute and spicy romance centered around Christmas and New Year’s edition baking show specials. 

So. I’m not saying that I read this solely based on the cover, but ….. well ….. anyway, I picked this up because of the cover. I do like S. J. Tilly’s writing too, so it wasn’t *only* based on the cover photo. 

I think this one will be appreciated the most by anyone with a huge celebrity crush or is a big fan of GBBO. I can’t relate to either so it just felt like a really rushed insta-love story to me. I found it a little cringey and cheesy in parts, but I did still like the holiday setting of it. The holiday puns are both a bit eye roll inducing but also somehow festive.
