Blog Tour: The Icing on the Cake (Review)

It takes skill and talent to write a humorous novel, that weaves in a fun story line as well as laughter.

Janice Thompson is well, quite gifted in the art of storytelling.

Once again, Thompson has created a novel that is full of humor, grace and real life.

In The Icing on the Cake, Thompson tells the story of Scarlet, a baker who doesn't always feel like she lives up to the recipe card which makes up her life.

Scarlet has a dream - to become an extravagant baker. To get there, she has to endure the leavening
agent of her aunt, a successful baker who sometimes comes across as, well grumpy and set in her ways.

Along the way, Scarlet sorts out her feelings for Armando, and how the unexpected spice of his love, could impact the future direction of her life.

In all, this book is quite enjoyable, humorous and well, just what the baker ordered. The book pulls in just enough pieces from Thompson's previous works to some extra spice to the work.

On the scale of one to five, this book is a solid 3.5 to 4. Humor, grace and charm. All wrapped up in one package.
