Murder in the Mixing Bowl

 Sugar, spice… and something sinister... 🥧

Welcome to the annual Sweetwater Baking Showdown, where local bakers gather beneath a massive white tent to compete for the coveted Golden Whisk Trophy. It’s Pastry Week, tensions are high, and the ovens are hot—until the competition takes a shocking turn. Celebrity judge Basil Butterworth is found dead in the pantry, face-down in a bag of flour.

With a freak storm delaying the police, it’s up to the bakers, assistants, and crew to sift through the clues before the entire competition crumbles. Step into a character, mingle with fellow suspects, and work together to uncover secrets, motives, and a killer hiding in plain sight.

🧑‍🍳 Dress the part! Aprons, chef hats, baking-show flair, or cozy kitchen chic are encouraged (but not required).
🍰 Baked goods and lemonade or tea will be provided.

Savor this clever, cozy whodunit—perfect for a fun night out or a free date night after Valentine’s Day. Bring your curiosity, your sweet tooth, and your taste for intrigue. Can you solve the mystery before time runs out—or will this baking showdown end in scandal? 

For ages 18 and up.
Registration is required for a select number of reserved seats. Additional seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Questions? Call Haleigh 543-7675 ext. 2558 or e-mail haleigh@bcplib.org.
