I really enjoyed this story! It was an actual picture book story that was semi-creepy with a bake shop lady ghost yet it had a very sweet ending. It teaches kids about persistence, bravery and kindness. I love how it included a recipe for a "Ghost-Pleasing Chocolate Cake" as well. Fun read for Halloween!

Have you ever found yourself craving a story? Not a message or "lesson," just a beautifully crafted, well-written story. If you have, this is the book for you. This book is one that your children will randomly call you about when they are grown and ask, "what was that ghost baking book we read when I was little called?" It's just a fun quality story that is just obscure enough that it will sit in your memory forever.

This was incredibly cute, and I love that you even get a cake recipe at the end.

Not only was this folk style tale touching and kind, but also it was illustrated in a ghostly and whimsical style to match. This story would be perfect for a parent and child activity- reading the book and making a cake!

I read this for the "A Book With Recipes Inside" part of my 2020 reading challenge. I wasn't a fan of the art style, but the story was good and I'm really looking forward to trying the Ghost-Pleasing Chocolate Cake Recipe in the back!

A cute read. The artwork was lovely and almost like sketchwork, but with color. It's very colorful and the story is sweet.

Randomly put this in our book bag at the library, and it's delightful. It's the story of a bake shop owner who dies (this is glossed over) and haunts her old business, driving away several bakers who want to buy it. She meets her match in Annie, who gives her a challenge to meet to earn the bake shop.
I love the illustrations, and the "ghost story" interested Owen. This would be great for girls or boys.
