The Royal Candy Fair approaches, and Anne Halford is ready to tackle the competition again to win the title of Silver Sugar Master! However, she is in a bind due to the year’s poor harvest of sugar apples—the most important ingredient for silver sugar—and the only way to obtain the limited few is by working at the Radcliffe Workshop.

Now she just needs to find a motif for her sugar candy sculpture...

As problems arise left and right, will Anne and the other candy crafters meet their increasingly impossible deadline...?

She is assigned the difficult task of saving the debt-ridden business from the verge of ruin and accepts the challenge as she is set on rescuing Challe!
