EBaccam | 4 comments I'm just going to get straight to the point.
The book I want to find is about a girl, her sister, and her mother that are forced to move away from their father. They lived in their for a short amount of the book, but eventually moved into a broken down house.
While her mother is finding a job to provide, the main character (the girl), makes cupcakes that are loved by everyone in the town. I know a few plot points, where she goes to a rich women's house and teaches her how to cook, and the women teaches her to read.
The cover has a tray of cupcakes on it.
I read this once around 2010, and again in 2013.
Thank you, and I hope you can find it for me!

Edit: I was able to find out it was Close to Famous by Joan Bauer!

Is it children's, YA, or adult?

no but it was quite close actually, another detail was she was inspired by a chef on TV.
