Gourmet cook Angie Amalfi's newest culinary business, "Comical Cakes," is a roaring success, bringing joy to all with her whimsical, laugh-inducing confections. But there's nothing funny about the chilling case her homicide inspector boyfriend, Paavo Smith, is grappling with—a series of baffling murders seemingly rooted in satanic ritual.

When Angie is called upon to deliver a humorous cake to the enigmatic owner of a decadent after-hours Goth club, her gourmet curiosity plunges her into a world of dark intrigue.

At the same time, Paavo has a serious question on his mind—one that he hopes to ask Angie, if only she can find a moment in her chaotic cake-baking schedule to listen to him. As Paavo races against time to unmask a killer, Angie must use all her culinary wit to help solve the mystery before she becomes devil's food of a different kind.

With their lives and their future together on the line, Angie and Paavo must navigate a perilous path to uncover the truth. Will they catch the killer, or will Angie find herself iced... for good?
