Jan and Elaine are thrilled when Jan is chosen to compete in the Traveling Baking Challenge. Not only is the invitation to compete an honor, it will bring national recognition to their little town, since the contest is televised every year. Things get even more exciting when the producer of the show asks if they can use the tearoom as the backdrop for this year’s contest. Things go awry, however, when the trophy—a chest stuffed with the prize money—disappears right from under everyone’s noses. Worse, the cousins find themselves as the prime suspects when information is leaked that the tearoom is facing the threat of a financial crisis. Determined to clear their names, Jan and Elaine set out to discover the real culprit. Can they do it before the contest ends, or will they fall faster than Jan’s award-winning soufflé?
