Synopsis
Framed and Frosted, the third book in the Cupcake Catering Mystery series, finds cupcake caterer, Emory Martinez, working at a Laguna Beach society Fourth of July soiree, with her sister and their new employee, Sal. With a host that seems intent on accosting both catering employees and guests alike, things go from bad to worse when he accuses Sal of murdering his long-dead son.
As the crescendo of exploding fireworks overhead becomes the backdrop for cupcakes and champagne, a deadly murder occurs. Can Sal and Emory explain why the cupcake the host ate, after shoving a trayful of buttercream frosted cupcakes onto Sal, resulted in his death? Or will the guests and detective alike believe that Sal is a murderer? Emory and her octogenarian employer, Tillie, whip into action to find out who framed Sal after being frosted by the victim.

Yes! And I think I have become spoiled with fireworks over the lake, they are magical!
I have the best seat of all for fireworks! Up the road from me….on a big hill! It is a wonderful show and I dont have to fight crowds to watch or for parking! I just sit outside on my front porch and enjoy the show 🙂 . Btw….that book cover is adorable! Thanks for the chance to win!
I can’t wait to read this. I love the Fourth of July and all the pagentry. My favorites are the parades.
I have in the past, but now I sit in my yard and watch the fireworks light up the sky..
Yes. We usually have a weenie roast in the back yard and then watch fireworks ?
This story sounds really good! I can’t wait to read it ?
No, we mostly try to keep the dogs from freaking out. And hope no fireworks set our house on fire.
No. We just stay home and relax.
We used to go to the town fireworks, but they haven’t happened in the past few years. Thank you for this chance!
Absolutely! It’s one of my favorite times of the year. For better or for worse, this country is ours and we should always celebrate it.
Thank you for the opportunity. The cover is great.
I always review on 3 or 4 sites.
We used to have friends who had an annual party with curbside parade watching followed by picnicking and pool.
No, I don’t usually participate, it’s too hot.
My sister has a picnic at her house. We all get together for a good meal and then at dark we can see our towns firework display perfectly from the backyard.
I’ve attended the city’s July 4 outdoor concert and fireworks display. It will be interesting to see if anything is scheduled this year.
We stay home and are able to watch the Fireworks from our front yard. Thank you for the great giveaway!
We stay home and relax with good homemade food and watch movies.
We watch the festivities from our back porch. We have a Wonderful view of the city.
We don’t really participate because we have a dog that is terrified of loud noises including but not limited to fireworks. She shakes and pants which breaks my heart. We always stay home with the TV on as loud as it can grow to try to drown out the noise.
yes a picnic every year. and we love our fireworks.
They have fireworks downtown. I haven’t gone to see them in years. I just watch the Macy’s fireworks on TV.
Not really. I like fireworks but I also like being home snuggled up with my scared cat.
I used to have an annual 4th of July Pool Party at my house. However, in recent years we have decked over our pool, and with the pandemic haven’t had any parties. Looking forward to being able to get together with friends again.
I used to go to the fireworks displays but can’t anymore. I do enjoy spending the day with family when I have the chance to travel to MA. When we don’t I buy some red, white and blue cupcakes.
Yes we have a barbecue always. This sounds very good thank you

Hello, yes! We have participated in the town’s 4th of July Parade each year. Ever since my 3 kids were small, we would decorate their little motorized cars and later their bicycles and then golf carts and go through the parade. It was always so much fun! In our little town of 1500, it was a really big deal. Such great memories!! Thanks ?
we have friends over and watch fireworks from our deck!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
