“IT LOOKS LIKE AN ASS.”
“Why would anyone make an ass cake? Maybe it’s supposed to be a
peach.”
I swallow my laugh as I stop next to the conversing couple—tourists
whom I saw at my family’s chocolatier shop yesterday. They’re out and
about quite early today, checking out a particular display at the window of
The Only Bakery. As the name suggests, this store is the only bakery in our
small riverside town in New South Wales, Australia.
“Excuse me,” I say with a smile. “I think that will give you a clue as to
what that’s meant to be.” I point to the small card that must have been
knocked out of position.
They step closer to the window and the man guffaws. “My wife didn’t
believe me when I said it was an ass.”
The woman frowns. “I don’t get it.”
“It’s called Mooner’s Cake. Mooner,” her husband enunciates.
Understanding dawns on his wife’s face and she lets out a giggle.
The man cranes his neck to spy on the other baked goods on display
inside. “So, do they specialise in rude-looking cakes?”
“No. Locals affectionately call ourselves Mooners.”
The woman’s eyes grow wide. “Why? Because you like to drop your
pants and show your buttocks to people?”
I chuckle. “It’s because our town’s called Moonstruck Cove.”
“I see,” she says with an embarrassed laugh. “Hey, you’re the lady from
Moonstruck Chocolatier, right? Joey!”
“Yes, that’s me.”
“I remember because I love your hair with those gorgeous purple
highlights.”
“Oh, thank you.” Involuntarily, I comb a section of my usually plain
brunette hair with my fingers. I just had them cut to shoulder length and, on
a whim, got those highlights.
The man moves closer to me, sending me an eager grin. “When will you
be selling Theo Cresswall’s chocolates? Within a week, I hope.”
I cover up my grimace with a smile. We haven’t even publicly talked
about our new product yet, tentatively called Theo’s First, and everyone
seems to know about it already. We’re far from making an announcement,
though, so I have to try to keep the lid on this for as long as I can.
“I don’t know who started that rumour,” I say with a little laugh,
shaking my head at the man.
“It’s not true?”
Aww, he looks so crestfallen.
The woman gives me a conspiratorial smile. “Chelsea Banton already
let the cat out of the bag. We know it’s happening.” She pulls her phone out
and taps on it.
“That woman says she’s Theo’s number one fan,” the man huffs. “Well,
she hasn’t met me yet.”
His wife places her phone on my hand. “Here. Read it.”
I suppress a sigh. I already know about this post from a social media
influencer with over five million followers. She’s been in town for a few
days now, and Mooners aren’t exactly known for keeping secrets.
Anyway, I didn’t want to look like I was trying to hide things from this
couple—even though I was—so I read Chelsea’s post again.
