Publisher's Summary:
Fay Merryweather runs her cake shop from her beautiful garden. She whips up airy sponges and scrumptious scones while her customers enjoy the lovely blossoms and gorgeous blooms. Looking after the cake shop, the garden, and her cantankerous mother means Fay is always busy, but she accepts her responsibilities because if she doesn't do all this, who will?
Then Danny Wilde walks into her life and makes Fay question every decision she's ever made.
When a sudden tragedy strikes, Fay's entire world is thrown off balance even further, and she doesn't know which way to turn.
Can Fay find the strength to make a life-changing decision - even if it means giving up the thing she loves the most?
Life, love, and family are about to collide in The Cake Shop in the Garden.

Members Reviews:
nice story but a little slow
nice story but a little slow. the main character was someone you could really identify with
If you want to feel miserable then this is for you
The so called heroine of this book is a total doormat, and I just wanted to shake her. I can't believe anybody would act like her and allow herself to be put upon in such a way. She is such a whinging boring character that frankly I really didn't care what happened to her. The story was also spoiled for me by the dreadful Irish accent the reader uses for the main love interest. I normally really enjoy Carole Matthews, but I would recommend that you don't waste your money on this one.
Loved it
Loved this book, ( which is not my normal type )
A great story, with unexpected twists, loved the setting along the canal also.
Only for those with a very sweet tooth
Any additional comments?
This story was so saccharine that I could only get through about a half of it. The "heroine" was a complete doormat and was walked over by her mother, sister and boyfriend without a word of complaint and the hero was totally unbelievable. I have read much better books by Carole Matthews.
Disappointing and depressing!
What disappointed you about The Cake Shop in the Garden?
I had really looked forward to this but sadly it didn't deliver at all. The main character was pathetic and unlikeable, and the storyline completely predictable. The narration was totally mismatched, the main character sounded like an old woman and the fake Irish accent was truly awful!
Very disappointed.
