    Running a bakery is no cakewalk for a tiny dragon with a big sweet tooth! Tummy rumbles turn to belly laughs in this feel-good audiobook from the bestselling author and illustrator of The Bakery Dragon.

    Batter up!

    Ember is in charge while the baker takes a trip and he's excited to show what he can do! When an opinionated fairy princess swoops in demanding a cake, he eagerly agrees. So what if he's only baked bread before? How hard can it be?

    The sugar hits the fan when Ember's first attempt is a complete disaster. He tries again and again, but the royal customer is not happy. Everyone told Ember he was such a good baker, so why can't he get this right? If he doesn't figure it out soon, the only thing on the menu will be humble pie.

    Magic shimmers throughout this whimsical story about how to bake a cake, make new friends, and learn from your mistakes.
    Devin Elle Kurtz is the bestselling author and illustrator of The Bakery Dragon. She's been painting in Photoshop since the age of two when her artist mom first offered her a tablet pen. Her magical scenes combine fantasy elements with environments that feel visceral and real. She was the lead background painter on the animated show Disenchantment, and has contributed to publications such as Beasts of the Four Nations, Escape from Atlantis, How to Heal a Gryphon, and Mother of Sharks. She lives in Pasadena with her dog, Kira, and thirty-three houseplants. View titles by Devin Elle Kurtz
