Bridget Tyler asked Rajani LaRocca:

Okay, I have to know, how did you make the leap from Midsummer Night's Dream to baking shows?? And also, how much is this book going to make me want cake?

Rajani LaRocca Hi Bridget,
Thanks for the question! Mimi was always a foodie/baker from when I first conceived of the story. My idea was that Mimi, the youngest in a large family, was the only one who noticed when her dad returned from a trip acting strange. Then I thought that the explanation was some sort of magic going on in the woods behind her house, and Midsummer wasn't much of a leap from there.
And oh, I really hope this book makes you want to eat cake! And cookies...
