Synopsis

Ember the dragon loves baking bread in the cozy bakery he shares with his friend Beatrice. But when Beatrice heads out for deliveries and Princess Turnip bursts in with a royal cake request, Ember faces a challenge—he’s never baked a cake before!

With a little help from the princess and a trip to the library, Ember learns to bake and creates a stunning two-tiered cake for the fairy queen’s birthday. The queen is delighted, and Ember is inspired to expand the bakery menu beyond bread.

A warm, whimsical story about trying new things, learning from mistakes, and discovering hidden talents.
