Ellie is planning to bring Little Duck Pond Café cakes to the surrounding villages with her Travelling Cake Van! But as she’s ‘expecting’ to make a rather more personal delivery of her own very soon, will Katja be the one to get behind the wheel of this fabulously mouth-watering journey into the countryside?

As you may have realised by now I'm a massive fan of this series, and thus seeing a new book featuring one of the long standing Duck Pond Cafe team is always a joy. 

And this was unputdownable, with the exception of when I needed to come in from the garden as it had got chilly, but I had read the first 75% or so in one sitting, totally and utterly absorbed as I caught up with Katja.  And we get to see more of Ellie too which is always a bonus. 

I absolutely loved the idea of a new cake van, travelling to five of the local villages around Sunnybrook, and for it to sell cut price cakes that Ellie would otherwise throw out, in a way to help combat food waste. 

And getting to know some of the soon to be regular new customers was a joy, just seeing snapshots of their lives, plus some well intentioned advice / meddling from Ellie and Katja. 

Add in a couple of interesting builders, heartbreak, lots of delicious cakes, and you have yet another wonderful addition to this series. 

I can't stress enough how much I adore every single book in this long running series while continuing my admiration for the author that keeps coming up with fresh ideas.  It's always a joy to keep up old friends and it really does feel like catching up with family whenever you read one of these books. 

I'm definitely starting to think that this series would make an excellent drama / soap opera type TV series! 

Thank you to the author for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
