When lightning causes a fire at the wedding reception venue of culinary
child prodigy Trudie Cooper's favorite teacher, Miss Best, it looks as
if there will be no meal for the celebration. However, with only a box
of vegetables and a few grapes to works with, and with the hour and a
quarter she's got quickly running out, nine-year-old Trudie uses her
extraordinary skill, and a dash to the only delicatessen in Melaleuca,
to not only feed over seventy people but to make the perfect replacement
for the destroyed wedding cake. Included recipe: Trudie's Lemon Myrtle
Syrup Cake
