Top pastry chef Sophie Bernstein and her sommelier fiancé were set to have Chicago's culinary wedding of the year…until the groom eloped with someone else in a very public debacle, leaving Sophie splashed across the tabloids-fifty grand in debt on her dream wedding and one-hundred percent screwed on her dream life. The icing on the cake was when she lost her job and her home… Laying low, Sophie moves in with her grandmother, Bubbles. That way, she can keep Bubbles and her sweater-wearing pug company and nurse her broken heart. But when Sophie gets a part-time job at the old-fashioned neighborhood bakery, she finds herself up to her elbows in dough and reluctantly giving a wedding cake customer advice on everything from gift bags to guest accommodations. Before she knows it, she's an online wedding planner. It's not mousse and macarons, but it pays the bills. But with the arrival of unexpected personal and professional twists, Sophie wonders if she's really moving forward-or starting over from scratch... Includes Recipes Leseprobe             Every Girl Should Be Married                 (1948)                 I may not meet the right man today. Or even this week. Or even this year.

A vision of loveliness.” My dad seems horribly uncomfortable in his tuxedo. He’s tugging a bit at the bow tie, which is         crooked, but at least is black and real, as opposed to what he showed up with this morning: a purple clip-on covered in multihued Grateful Dead bears.         His cummerbund is upside down, and he’s wearing scuffed black Dr. Martens, which are making his pants look short. But today I’m so happy I don’t even         correct him on using the wrong name.                 “Look what we made, Robert, just look.” My mother glides across the room in what can only be described as a fringed lavender muumuu, her waist-length         graying curls twisted up in an elaborate braided bun, like a black-and-white Greek Easter bread attached to the back of her head. She tucks her short,         round form into the long expanse of my dad’s embrace, and he pulls her close and rests his head atop hers, both of them looking at me with a         combination of deep love and concern.                 “I know, Diane, I know. We did good.” She beams up at him, and he kisses her deeply. With tongue. Gack.                 “Hey, parents, could we please keep the making out to a minimum, at least until after dinner?” Don’t get me wrong; it’s fantastic that after over forty         years together my folks are still hot for each other. I just really don’t need to see it in shiny Technicolor.                 They pull apart with a sickeningly slurpy squelch and look over at me.                 “Poor Sunshine, she’s still embarrassed o...
