Clara lived in the shade of her husband Bryce for years because he made fun of her weight and her dreams all the time. But Clara’s life changed dramatically when she found out she was good at baking and chose to take charge of it.
Clara’s love of food started as a way for her to deal with her difficult marriage. She spent a huge amount of time in the kitchen, making cakes and works of art out of flour and sugar. But as Clara learnt more about baking, she realised that it was something she really loved. It wasn’t long before she saw herself as more than just a wife and housewife.
Even though Bryce kept making fun of her and jabbing at her, Clara kept going after her dreams. She got the chance to cater a big event, which is where she met Rowan, a successful restaurant owner who gave her a chance that would change her life. Clara’s skill and drive impressed Rowan, and he saw something in her that no one else did: promise.
Clara worked hard to come up with a new dessert menu for Rowan’s restaurant, but Elise, a beautiful, sure-of-herself cook who seemed to have it all, gave her a lot of competition. But Clara wouldn’t give up. She put her whole heart and soul into her sweets. Clara was thrilled to find out that she had won the deal when the competition results were made public.
What really surprised everyone was when Rowan told them that he loved Clara and wanted to do everything he could to help her. He gave her the chance to study in Paris, which is known as the world’s cooking capital, and a job as a dessert chef at his restaurant. Clara knew she would never look back once she was free to follow her dreams.
When Clara stood tall and saw all the people who believed in her, she knew she had found her true voice. She was no longer the shy, doubtful woman whose husband’s mean words had kept her from moving forward. Clara was ready to take on the world because she was strong, sure of herself, and skilled. Clara knew that she would always be thankful for the path that had led her to this moment of victory, self-discovery, and love as she walked away from her past.
