Baby Cakes: The Complete Bite Series

The Bite Series, Books 1-3

De: S.J. Tilly

Narrado por: Gomez Pugh, Callie Dalton

When a holiday baking competition goes incredibly wrong. Or right…

Michael

I'm starting to think I've been doing this for too long. The screaming fans. The constant media attention. The fat paychecks. None of it brings me the happiness I yearn for.

Yet here I am. Another year. Another holiday special. Another Christmas spent alone in a hotel room.

But then the lights go up. And I see her.

Alice

It's an honor to be a contestant; I know that. But right now, it feels a little like punishment. Because any second, Chef Michael Kesso, the man I've been in love with for years, the man who doesn't even know I exist, is going to walk onto the set, and it will be a miracle if I don't pass out at the sight of him.

But the time for doubts is over because Second Bite is about to start "in three… two… one…"

Celebrity chef + fan spicy holiday fun

Overall this was cute. Good performance from the narrators and entertaining story, but a bit cheesy and cringy with the insta lust. But, a fun and fluffy holiday novella.

Adorable 🥰

First book for me from S.J. Tilly. Didn’t disappoint! Loved how sweet it was. I’ll be looking for more from this author 🌶️❤️

Curvy FMC meets Chef Celebrity

I’ve read the Second Bite last year and loved it. So when I saw this was two more books of Michael and Alice’s story, I was so excited. I absolutely loved the journey they took in the second book. It was right after the finale of book 1. But book 3 was the book I loved the most! I’m a total sucker for OW drama and we get this! Soooo good! Also the last epilogue was so good with the little Easter egg character!

Tropes:
Holiday Novellas
Holiday Romance
Age Gap
Chef Celebrity
Curvy FMC

Chemistry in the kitchen

Chef Mike and Alice are adorable. The story is great and Alice makes the grump love Christmas again.

DNF

For some reason this trilogy just don’t do it for me. Part one was okay, Part 2 was fine but I couldn’t finish Part 3. The male narrator was terrible but the female narrator was just okay.

Super fun and sweet holiday listen!

These were such short, fun, super sweet, and a little spicy books. Perfect for the holidays and anyone who loves those cooking reality shows! For sure would recommend!

Baking for Love <3

This is a great collection of novellas about a grumpy celebrity chef and curvy cooking contestant that fall in love at first sight, despite their age gap and reality tv circumstances they make it through it together with all that heat in the kitchen. Then we see how they move forward after all the chaos of coming out to the public as a couple, like being followed by paparazzi and a reality show plot twist won't get in the way of their happily ever after.

I love these two!!

Great Duel Narration!
Humble request to the author: Could we get a new novella from them every Christmas? Or other holidays? I am not picky! 🥰

Also, please tell me there is bonus content for that hinted cooking class!!!! 🥰🤭 Those guys have to be competitive!

Content warnings: still full of excessive holiday references/puns 🤣, OWD, unwanted intimate photography leaked

My rating: 5/5

Spice: 3/5

Hot, funny, overall good time!

Love this story! Such a fun ride. No one ever expects a hapless kitchen 🔥 in a spicy story but here we are! Just desserts abound. 🎆

Whisking You Away

My Review:
5 ⭐️ 4 🌶️

S.J. Tilly’s Baby Cakes is the ultimate holiday treat, mixing Great British Bake Off vibes with steamy rom-com goodness. Alice, a contestant with a major crush on celebrity chef Michael, whisks him off his feet with one glance—and their insta-love rises faster than a soufflé. Across three novellas (Second Bite, Snowed in Bite, and New Year’s Bite), their chemistry is sweet, spicy, and absolutely irresistible.

Michael is all bark and bite, but Alice is the secret ingredient that softens his crusty exterior. From snowed-in shenanigans to baking show drama, this series is a triple-layered delight—equal parts humor, heat, and holiday magic. The spice is piping hot, the chemistry is perfectly whipped, and the twists will have you yelling, “Holy fudge cake!”

If you’re craving a book that’s sugar, spice, and everything nice, grab this one ASAP (but don’t blame me if you start calling your crush “baby cakes”).
