Love is in bloom in Ashland, Oregon. The Shakespearean hamlet is bursting with fresh spring energy. Fragrant lilacs and the sweet aroma of vanilla cake fill the air as everyone in town gathers at Lithia Park for the celebration of the year—Thomas and Kerry’s wedding.
It’s a picture perfect day. Guests gather on picnic blankets in front of the bandshell to watch Kerry walk down the aisle and wed Ashland’s favorite detective in training, Thomas. Jules and her team at Torte have been tasked with catering the outdoor reception and everything is going according to plan, until a wedding crasher shows up.
The uninvited guest isn’t just someone looking to score a free glass of champagne. It’s Kerry’s estranged father who is supposed to be behind bars. Kerry is distraught. Jules vows to do everything she can to make sure that there are no other surprises on her friend’s big day. But when the bassist for Heart Strings, the wedding band, is found stabbed with the blunt end of his instrument Jules’s promise takes on new meaning. Now she’ll have to slice through the five tiered cake and a bevy of potential suspects in order to track down a killer before they turn the knife on her.
Another wonderful visit with the team at Torte, this time they are pulling out all the stops to make sure that the wedding of Officer Thomas and Detective Kerry goes smoothly, sadly through things start to slightly unravel when Kerry spots her father, who is supposed to be in jail! Still that seems to be the only dark cloud until the morning of the wedding when Jules finds the body of one of the musicians, stabbed with his own instrument, and Jamie (Kerry's dad) seems to be the guilty party.
The wedding does go ahead and Thomas and Kerry are off on their honeymoon cruise, with Kerry breaking her own rules and asking Jules to prove Jamie is no killer. So now Jules, along with Lance her BFF, is sifting through the suspects to find the truth.
