You take one cup of talent, mix it with two cups of potential and sprinkle a bit of humour about it. You bake a cake and throw it out of the window. Remember to really destroy all the fun.
Out of the remaining crumbs you try to assemble a ginger bread house. Take a whining "oh i am 14 and just a baker" and put it at any given place. If you think, it's enough whining and remembering the reader that the fmc is 14 and just a baker, put some more. Now add poop, jokes about peeing, more poop and peeing again to really sell how much of a disgusting waste this book in reality is.
I guess if I hadn't liked the potential that much, i wouldn't be that disappointed. It is a nice idea. There are some funny lines. Even maybe a bit to think about. With some practice, a lot of editing and reducing the peeing and poop situations from 4 to maybe just one (or cut it altogether if I'm being honest), it cut have been such a cute, funny, little book.
But in the end... it's just shit.
