Storyline

They call you the King of Cupcakes, the Master of Muffins: the best baker this side of Topeka. Folks come from near and far for just a whiff of your butter cream frosting.

Of course, to friends, you're just Arnold: a 33-year-old queer nerd who's desperately single and searching for love. A pursuit that seemed hopeless until this morning.

When you got to the shop, a cupcake was waiting on your desk, with a note baked inside that said: "I love you. Come find me at the plaza."

You mean to find out who left it.
