Gwendolyn and Carolyn told me when they loaded the fridge. They’re called purple passion cupcakes, George said. But that’s the most beautiful purple I’ve ever seen. Pink is my favorite color, Bess said, swooning. Bess’s favorites were the bright purple ones. Nancy’s favorites were the cupcakes with the sunflower design. The girls gazed at the dreamy-looking cupcakes. George’s dark curls bounced as she shook her head. Me too! Nancy said as she and Bess ran to the fridge. My mom is holding the extra cupcakes in her fridge until tomorrow, George said. She brushed her reddish blond hair from her eyes so she could make sure what she was seeing was real. . . . Ta-daaa! George sang as she pulled the door open. Fayne was a caterer and needed an extra-big refrigerator for party food. She walked over to the huge steel fridge. I’m about to tell you, aren’t I? George said. Since when do cousins keep secrets from each other? Are you ready for a big secret? she asked. Then I’ll keep my eyes closed! Bess joked. "Did you see the sisters on that TV show Cupcake Crusaders? Nancy asked.
Not only would the Lucky Ladybug be the first cupcake bakery on Main Street but the owners, Gwendolyn and Carolyn, were practically superstars! The three friends reached across the table to high-five. Tomorrow the Lucky Ladybug Cupcake Café opens for business! We’ve got more than the season to celebrate, you guys, George said, licking away a hot-chocolate mustache. While George’s mom worked in her home office, the three BFFs sipped cocoa around the kitchen table. Outside it was chilly, but inside George’s kitchen it was warm and sunny.
What do you like best about it? Nancy asked Bess. This is my favorite season! Bess Marvin, Nancy’s other best friend, said with a smile. Maybe spring hasn’t sprung yet! she said. Nancy’s best friend George Fayne shrugged. If this is the first week of spring, eight-year-old Nancy Drew said, why does it still feel like winter?
