Following the recipe is the key to a successful bake. Rosaline Palmer has always lived by those rules—well, except for when she dropped out of college to raise her daughter, Amelie. Now, with a paycheck as useful as greaseproof paper and a house crumbling faster than biscuits in tea, she’s teetering on the edge of financial disaster. But where there’s a whisk there’s a way . . . and Rosaline has just landed a spot on the nation’s most beloved baking show.

Winning the prize money would give her daughter the life she deserves—and Rosaline is determined to stick to the instructions. However, more than collapsing trifles stand between Rosaline and sweet, sweet victory.  Suave, well-educated, and parent-approved Alain Pope knows all the right moves to sweep her off her feet, but it’s shy electrician Harry Dobson who makes Rosaline question her long-held beliefs—about herself, her family, and her desires.

Rosaline fears falling for Harry is a guaranteed recipe for disaster. Yet as the competition—and the ovens—heat up, Rosaline starts to realize the most delicious bakes come from the heart.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"[Hall] crafts some of the most sparkling prose in contemporary romance. . . . we give this fully baked concept our highest compliments."―Entertainment Weekly

"Hall does it again with this scrumptious, quietly subversive rom-com again . . . Hilarious, heartwarming, and grounded, Rosaline's story proves that happy endings look different from person to person."―Publishers Weekly

"In this delicious romantic comedy . . . Hall creates a memorable cast of characters, from Rosaline's supportive ex-girlfriend to the utterly adorable and scene-stealing Amelie. Setting the book at a reality TV show is a brilliant choice . . . there's sparkling humor and plenty of baking mishaps. A perfect bake."―Kirkus

"Hall seamlessly combines humor, romance, and drama to create a story that is intimately believable and at once cozy and sexy. . . . The book combines sweet escapism and poignant cultural touchstones with well-crafted characters and hilariously familiar settings. Hall does it again with this culturally relevant, wonderfully escapist foray into the baking world. This is a must-buy for any library."―Library Journal

4 out of 5 stars
an enjoyable, witty read
Thanks to the publisher & Netgalley for the complimentary ARC. All opinions provided are my own. My feelings for Alexis Hall’s Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake are complicated: some really cool things are happening but it just doesn’t totally engage my heart. Single mom Rosaline Palmer feels like she hasn’t lived up to her parents’s goals & isn’t providing the life she wants for her daughter. But she loves baking & though she isn’t fully confident in her decision she signs up for a baking reality tv show a la GBBO. The blurb clues you in to this dynamic, but on the way to production she meets Alain, a witty landscape architect. Soon after she meets other contestants, including Harry, a ripped electrician who calls her “love” until she asks him to stop & whose grammar grates on her. This is a spoiler alert but for much of the book Rosaline is interested in & involved in a relationship of sorts—including sexually—w/ Alain, when he is not, of course, the one she will end up w/. Throughout RPTTC we get glimpses that Alain isn’t the nicest person, which helps me w/ the love triangle-ish aspect. We *also* see moments when Rosaline isn’t the *nicest* person; when she shows some of her least attractive & yet also some of her most relatable qualities: her strong desire to please & to judge. While I’m a proponent of an imperfect heroine Rosaline’s portrayal doesn’t totally work for me, mostly bc I don’t think there’s enough self-awareness & reflection. That includes her snobbery...her awareness of which feels kinda surface level to me even when she’s apologizing to Harry. Still, throughout RPTTC Rosaline grows in major ways & I cheered along. In addition to Rosaline’s journey, I really like RPTTC’s wit, its gentle moments, its consideration of how others respond to Rosaline’s bisexuality, the intimacy in the sex scene b/t Rosaline & Harry. The way he encourages her to say what she wants & she encourages him to share his feelings throughout is lovely—though I yearned for more of a romantic declaration at the end. I can’t wait to see what Hall writes next, obviously. But this one just doesn’t always work for me. 4 ⭐️. Release date: 5/18. CW: ​ ​sexual assault, biphobia

    I mean it's just a scrummy book! I was outwardly chuckling for like 80% of the book, I got a therapy session, and the leads are insanely hot. Wins all across the board.

    Hall does a really excellent job with pacing, everything is whip smart and witty, especially our MC Rosaline. She's honestly a badass (I will never understand how people have the energy to do anything on top of being a parent, it's such involved and hard work) but she's also so genuine. She's balanced, both flawed and fleshed out enough to feel human, like I could pop down the street and she'd greet me with a cup of tea.
    Harry, our burly cinnamon roll love interest, is a man of few words who really goes all out with acts of service for those he cares about. There are so many times in this book that I highlighted and my comment is just "😭😭" because he's such a gentle and kind man.
    Also, Amelie is the love of my life, and I hope one day she becomes a marine biologist who focuses on deep sea exploration.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Smart, funny, and entertaining.
    Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    I wasn't exactly expecting this from Alexis Hall, the author of m/m books such as rom-com BOYFRIEND MATERIAL and the more serious Spires series. Although the heroine of this new rom-com by Hall is bisexual, the romance turns out to be of the m/f variety here and, in addition, I'd say the romance takes a back seat to Rosaline's journey to self awareness, self realization, and self actualization. Not only that, but, to a large extent, it's another kind of love story, that between single mom Rosaline and her young, precocious daughter Amelie.

    I just recently finished reading another contemporary romance with a reality cooking competition backdrop: RECIPE FOR PERSUASION by Sonali Dev. Hall's similarly plotted novel here runs rings around that one. Hall's sense of humor is intelligent and delightful, his dialogue smart and sassy, his characters much better drawn than that of most other contemporary romance writers I've read.

    If you read the book blurb, you'll know what the story's about. 27-year-old Rosaline, who had to drop out of medical school when she found herself pregnant at 18 or 19, is now working low-pay jobs but has an interest in and talent for baking. So she enters the Bake Expectations competition, hoping for the grand prize which will be a boost to her bank account and also to her future. Incidentally, there'll be two men (fellow competitors) who will figure as love interests: Alain, who's upper-class, sophisticated, and well educated, and Harry, a lower class electrician with bad grammar but a really good heart.

    But there's so much more to this than the romance(s). It's more the personal-growth journey of Rosaline. Learning to know and value herself and what she wants in life, taking a stand against her rich,successful, domineering parents. It takes a good while and can be frustrating at times to read. You may find yourself wanting to shout at her to stand up for herself from time to time. But not to worry, the moment will come.

    In addition, this story has plenty of really funny moments. So many and varied and richly drawn characters. One in particular that struck my funny bone was foul-mouthed set producer/director Jennifer, whose interactions with the competitors is hilarious. Not to mention the judges of the competition. Great parody here of competitive cooking shows. Oh, and don't neglect to check out the reading guide questions for book clubs that Hall was asked to supply. As funny, or perhaps funnier, than the book.

    All in all, this was an entertaining read for me. It's hard to find intelligent authors like Hall in the contemporary romance genre.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not as good as her debut novel
    Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    Giving this book a 3.5. I was really looking forward to reading this book as I loved Boyfriend Material. If you go in thinking this book will be similar then you will be disappointed, but if you go in with the though that this book is entirely separate then it will surprise you.

    This book is the story of a bisexual single mom named Rosaline Palmer who makes it onto a TV show similar to Great British Bake Off (GBBO). Her biggest support system is her ex-girlfriend Lauren and her parents are typical doctors pushing her to want more out of her life. She meets two eligible men while on the show, Alain: a landscape architect who seems charming and Harry: an electrician who is shy. Rosaline continues trying to decide which guy is right for her and what she wants out of her life as she moves along week after week on the British baking show.

    First BRAVO to Alexis Hall because there are many many characters in this book but she wrote them all in so well, you definitely learn and know them all without any one of them feeling left out. She really succeeds in writing characters with mental illness so authentically and realistically.

    Alain is controlling, possessive and overall using Rosaline. I really enjoyed the GBBO vibes this book put off! They are fun and endearing and how we see Rosaline grow and be more confident was wonderful. I mostly liked Rosaline as a character full of doubt for herself and what she wants for her life now that her daughter is older. She can get a bit annoying with her second guessing herself and where she wants to go but she grows as the book goes along. She is very relatable!

    I will say that to label this as a romance doesn't work because it doesn't really fit the genre which truly disappointed me because it wasn't written as labeled. Overall though I appreciated the personal growth, more sincere story that she wrote after I got past prejudices built from thinking it would be like her debut book which was full of laughter and fun!

    Reviewed in Spain on August 16, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Si esperáis una comedia romántica os llevaréis un chasco, trata más sobre el crecimiento personal de Rosaline y ese crecimiento viene de la mano del "hombre equivocado" durante más del 70% de la novela. Esto me puso de los nervios. Sobre todo porque se centra más en él que en ganar el concurso. Mira, empieza mintiendo al hombre sobre su vida y sobre su hija. Es ese tipo de protagonista.
    ¿Lo mejor de la novela? El concurso y sus participantes, la hija y la amiga de la madre y el segundo hombre al que se lanza a sus brazos literalmente antes de dejar la casa del otro. Ugh.
    Alexis Hall es uno de mis autores favoritos, pero no he podido con esta protagonista. Es lo peor del libro en mi opinión, el resto de los componentes de la historia geniales.

    I love this love letter to Bake Off and British telly. The cast of characters is totally believable as Bake Off (sorry, Bake Expectations, other baking shows are available) contestants, and Rosalie's daughter is my favourite character by far. The romance is cute enough, mostly in that I don't think they're better off single, a feeling I get quite often reading(contemporary) romance. Big plus for the recipes in the back - I feel inspired to bake again.
