CHARLOT T E
I’m doing it! I’m actually going to fucking pull this
craziness off.
Looking around the grand opening melee of my new bakery,
Cake Culture, is the biggest rush I’ve ever had. A dream
actually coming to life before my very eyes with frosting,
sprinkles, and cute pink awnings edged in chunky glitter to
look like sugar.
A dream come true is something a girl like me doesn’t get
very damn often, and I’m going to enjoy the moment.
“Charlotte, move your ass!” my best friend, Mia Karakova,
barks. Her blonde and blue ponytail flips as she whips her
head around to give me a very pointed look. If I’m not careful,
she’s going to start cursing in Russian, which is how I know
the shit’s really hit the fan.
Apparently, I’ll have to take a celebratory moment later.
Instead, I do as she requested and haul out another tray of
cookies. It’s the least I can do since she’s helping me out
today. She didn’t volunteer, more like I volun-told her to be
there to smile and wave at the masses.
I figured her presence would be a goldmine of publicity since
she’s all over the society pages now that she’s engaged to
Thomas Goldstone. As in, the Thomas Goldstone of Goldstone
Inc. and Goldstone Health, and basically the biggest poobah in
all of Roseboro. Up to and including being a silent investor in
the cakery of my dreams.
So if she wants to boss me around a bit, even though
technically, I’m the boss, I’ll jump to it. Because she’s right,
we are hopping like mad in here.
Helping the next customer, I tally their purchases, making sure
to use the names I came up with. Branding. It’s all about
branding. “Okay, so one ‘What Is That, Red Velvet?’, one
‘Crazy for Cocoa-Caramel Swirl’, and a ‘Peanut Butter Bomb
Diggity’? That comes to nine dollars even.” The customer
hands over a ten, telling me to keep the change with a wink.
He’s cute, but I’m on a no-men kick so I give him my
customer service smile and offer, “Have a nice day!”
Trixie Reynolds, my new assistant who’s been a lifesaver as
we prepped to open, slithers up next to me. “Ooh, that one was
a Mr. Hottie Tottie, girl! Why the Elsa freezing the world
routine?”
I raise an eyebrow. Trixie knows I hate that damn movie. “You
know the drill. I’m married to my cakes right now. It’s all I
have time for as a new business owner. Besides, I’m a
redhead, not a blonde.” I flip my slightly Elsa-ish braid over
my shoulder, letting it fall down my back.
She tsks, stage whispering, “I think your cake is exactly what
needs to get drilled. Maybe yank that cake pop stick outta your
ass too.” Ouch, harsh much? But she says it with a smirk and a
twinkle in her eyes, and I feel the teasing giggle bubbling up. I
can’t help it today.
“No happily ever afters for this chick. I’m work, work,
working my way to the top,” I sing-song in my best Rihanna
impersonation, which basically sucks because I’m an awful
singer
