Against her better judgment, Lily Roberts is entering America Bakes! with her charming tearoom, Tea by the Sea. Filming is already proving disruptive, but tensions really bubble over when bad-boy chef and celebrity judge Tommy Greene loses his temper with Lily's staff, resulting in an on-camera blowout. Just as Lily thinks the competition can't get more bitter, Tommy is found dead in Tea by the Sea's kitchen. Nearly anyone associated with Tommy or the show could be the killer. Now, while she's baking up a storm for the show, Lily must also whip up an impromptu investigation before the murderer rolls someone else away.
