In the fog-draped quiet of early morning, Jodi Ellison begins work on the most important wedding cake of her career at Petal & Crumb Bakery. Everything is on track—until she discovers a hidden note wired inside one of her handcrafted fondant roses. The metallic florist wire used to bind it isn’t hers, immediately signaling that someone tampered with the cake.

Shaken but determined, Jodi keeps the discovery quiet and begins retracing her steps in Chapter Two. She confirms that the wire is unfamiliar, meaning someone with access to her kitchen planted the message intentionally. As she subtly questions staff, reviews her workspace, and replays recent interactions, it becomes clear this wasn’t random mischief. The note was meant specifically for her—and likely connected to the high-profile wedding order.
