Bookroo's summary

Katie and Haley boast about their baking prowess, but their moms remain skeptical. With the help of Haley's uncle at Happy Cakes bakery, the girls embark on a sweet journey to master the art of baking. Will they rise to the challenge and win their moms' approval, or will their dreams crumble? Join them in a delightful adventure filled with flour, friendship, and fun surprises in Katie Woo's Neighborhood.

From the publisher

Katie and her friend Haley are bragging about being good bakers. Their moms don’t quite agree. Haley’s uncle owns the Happy Cakes bakery and is willing to teach the girls what it takes to be a great baker. Will Katie and Haley become the best bakers and impress their moms? Katie loves her community and that love is shown in Katie Woo’s Neighborhood, an early chapter book series by author Fran Manushkin.
