Eleven-year-old Hannah Hallett has loved baking all her life and is endlessly coming up with amazing new ideas. Her mum's just the same – and now she's moved the whole family to the countryside so she can pursue her dream of opening her own bakery!
Hannah's favourite TV programme – JUNIOR BRILLIANT BAKER – is open for auditions! Hannah knows that she'd be the perfect contestant, and she can't wait to apply with best friend Mia. But what will the girls do when only one of them gets through to the show? Will the reality of TV stardom be too much to handle? And which is more important, baking or family?

Eleven-year-old Hannah Hallett is baking-mad and when her mum opens the Sugar and Spice bakery it’s like a dream come true, well, apart from Hannah having to move house and change school in the middle of Year 6. What if she doesn’t make any new friends? What if she hates her new school? And what if the bakery is a flop?
Follow Hannah as she starts her new life and makes new friends. From helping at the bakery to being on a TV show, matchmaking to fundraising, Hannah’s life always seems to contains plenty of sugar and spice!
