“The Duchess’s Divine Decadence” had just won the 'Best Dessert in London' award. Clara, a shy pastry chef who worked in a small bakery, felt a thrill shoot through her. That was her recipe! She'd given the recipe to the Duchess, a regular customer, a year ago.

She felt a rush of energy. It was her recipe! The Duchess had taken it to the top! Clara’s heart thumped with excitement. She'd dreamed of this type of recognition. Now it was a reality!

She threw open the bakery door, letting in the morning light. She needed to celebrate. She decided to bake a huge batch of the 'Divine Decadence' and give it away to her customers. She skipped around, already planning.
