However, Lake Eden's idyllic rise to popularity takes a very bad turn when another judge, Coach Boyd Watson, is discovered facedown and lifeless in Hannah's renowned strawberry shortcake.
Hannah is investigating the coach's personal life and finding plenty of suspects in between honing her chocolate crunchies and cheddar cheese apple pie recipes. And did Watson's scathing remarks throughout the judging process give one of the competitors permission to murder? As the stakes rise quicker than dough, Hannah will need to exercise extreme caution since someone is preparing a murderous recipe in which she is one of the "necessary ingredients."
