Meet The Sweet Street Team!

The Sweetest Kiss is mostly set in Sweet Street Cafe, with owner Maddie at the helm. Working alongside Maddie are her faithful co-workers, Mags and Victoria, so I thought I'd make a little introduction to the teashop trio!

Maddie has dreamed of running her own teashop for almost as long as she can remember. Her grandmother taught her to bake when she was a little girl and it's been a passion of hers ever since. She opened her cafe a year ago and although it's having a few teething problems, it really is a dream come true.

Although Maddie loves her customers, she's most comfortable in the kitchen with a whisk in one hand and a heavy bowl of sugary batter in the other while thinking of the potential joy the treats will bring to her customers.

Maddie's favourite sweet treat is a simple fairy cake with icing and sprinkles, as they remind her of her childhood.

Mum of two Mags is in her late thirties (though she won't tell you just how late). She's been working at Sweet Street Cafe since it opened a year ago. Mags has her fingers in all the pies at the teashop (though not literally - don't be worrying about the hygiene implications). She bakes, waitresses and balances the books (which is a relief for Maddie as numbers that don't contain lbs, kilos or other such measurements sail way over her head).

Mags is fun and flirty (especially with a certain builder who frequents the teashop) and loves nothing more than chatting with the customers.

Her favourite treats from the teashop are raspberry cream cheese brownies.

Victoria is the youngest member of the Sweet Street team and has been working with Maddie and Mags for almost six months. She mainly waitresses as baking is not one of her talents. Waitressing isn't the career Victoria envisions for herself, but she has bills to pay until her band signs a recording deal and they actually earn some cash from their music.

Victoria's role model is Avril Lavigne.

Her favourite treats at the teashop are peanut butter blondies.

Dating has never been so sweet!

Baker Maddie Lamington is supposed to be living her best life, but she’s been dumped and her dream business is failing. Soon she is going to be single and jobless, unless she can come up with a plan to draw customers to her sweet little café.

When her apple crumble inadvertently becomes the catalyst that brings two of her customers together, Maddie has an idea to fill her café with customers – and love.

And with love in the air at Sweet Street Café, could Maddie’s delicious bakes mend her broken heart too?
