1. SATURDAY 3RD
MAY
Today the Mystery Girls completed an important mission.
Mariella Mystery and her friends’ help Violet Maple gets through to the finals
of Bake or Break, a cooking competition for kids. Prince of Annoyingness,
Arthur Mystery claims to be Mariella Maple’s little brother. He begs the
Mystery Girls to tell Bake or Bake he is seven, not five and a half so he can
enter too. Mariella and Poppy needs to gain access to the auditions so they
enter the competition themselves. Violet has a book which is full of useful
baking information and has helped Violet think up loads of brilliant ideas for
her own recipes, Grandma Maple’s recipe book. Violet has Maple Meltdown
(worries and concerns) during the competition so, Mariella alerts Poppy and
they bang pots and pans to regain Violet’s attention. Poppy takes out her cake
out of the oven and finds that it makes a weird fizzing noise and then
explodes. Violet is still panic by that time luckily there was Poppy to calm
her down by fanning her with a tea towel. The Talent Spotter then tasted the
contestant’s cake and the first was Mariella’s. She looks as if she would throw
up but Violet Mystery Cake is through to the next audition.
2. TUESDAY 6TH
MAY
Violet had to go to the next round of
auditions and she is through to the finals of Bake or Break, on actual TV.
Their school field is chosen as the location for the competition. Mariella and
Poppy is going to support Violet there. Violet is still worrying about what
will actually be like in the competition. It is the Mystery Girls job to calm
her. She is so nervous that her baking is rubbish compared to the other
contestants. They also do not know who the other four contestants are because
the auditions have been held all around the country. Violet also learned to
bake with her Grandma Maple. Grandma Maple is away on a cookery cruise. She
posted Violet her recipe book. Violet has been adding to the recipe book her
cake ideas. She wants Grandma Maple to read when she gets back.
3. FRIDAY 9TH
MAY
They have been
watching past series of Bake or Break after school and Violet is getting
nervous. She has to face four different baking challenges over four days. The
four different baking challenges are The Cupcake Challenge, The Picnic Hamper
Challenge, The Children’s Party Challenge and The Show-Stopper Challenge. Poppy
is worried that she could not make her Show-Stopper recipe because the judges
are very tough. Harriet Blythington and Spencer Spokes are the Bake or Break
judges.
4. MONDAY 12TH MAY
BAKE OR BREAK FINALS, DAY ONE: THE CUPCAKE CHALLENGE.
It is the first
day of Bake or Break, Mariella and Poppy have got VIP passes. Arthur is jealous
and keeps carrying his Bake or Break Annual to impress the Mystery Girls
because he desperately wanted to be one of them. Mariella and Poppy have got
good seats close to the baking action, the judges and all the contestants
walked out Savior of School Dinners Marie Sloops,
Princess Cake of Perfection Primula Gordon, Bake or Break Baking Boffin Oliver
Picket, Young Icing Expert Patsy Éclair and also Violet Maple the
grand-daughter of Puddleford’s most famous baker and creator of the most
mysterious cakes in town. The contestants start to set up their workspaces for
the Cupcake Challenge and as usual Violet has Maple Meltdown. Mariella distract
Violet’s mum and dad because she needs to calm Violet down. Violet was getting
hysterical because she finds that her Granda Maple’s recipe book is lost.
Mariella was suspicious that someone must have taken it. Mariella and Poppy’s
mystery senses were tuned in so it was their job to solve the mystery: A
Cupcake Condrum. Even though, Violet is very distracted by the pressures of
Bake or Break she is able to give detailed statement to Mariella and Poppy
about what had happened. Their suspicions are correct, somebody, a contestant,
a judge or a member of a crew has stolen Grandma Maple’s recipe book!
5. TUESDAY 13TH
MAY
BAKE ORBREAK
FINALS, DAY TWO: THE PICNIC HAMPER CHALLENGE
The Mystery Girls
have narrowed down a list of their top suspects, looked at the facts and tried
to work out what their motive could be. In the Young Super Sleuth’s Handbook
they list out their suspect’s activity. Mariella and Poppy are going to pretend
to do interviews for the school newspaper. They will be watching for unusual
behavior and clues. They are going to start their fake interviews for the
school newspaper with the contestants’ parents. In this chapter, the Mystery
Girls write down their interviews in the Young Super Sleuth’s Handbook. It
actually does not make the suspects look guilty but Mariella is writing
everything happening when the Picnic Hamper Challenge starts. Mariella also
describes the contestants’ cakes. Violet tells them that she has not
experienced anything suspicious but not for long there was a huge crash coming
from the marquee. Mariella knew that it was the cake saboteur at work. They
found out Violet’s lemon meringue pie is lying next to Marie’s pie. There was a
voice from inside Primula’s enormous pie. It was primula’s little sister,
Charlotte inside. Mariella then suspected that Primula is the cake saboteur.
During the Mystery Girls were analyzing the photos they took before, they heard
a squeaky voice. It was Arthur wearing a giant padded cupcake and Mariella
pretend that she did not recognize that fancy dress outfit because she was
embarrassed. Unfortunately, Violet and Poppy remembered that Mariella have worn
it before.
