description: Teenage baker Syd sends ripples of heartbreak through Austins queer community when a batch of post-being-dumped brownies turns out to be magicaland makes everyone who eats them break up.Whats done is done.Unless of course it was done by my brownies. Then its getting undone.Syd (no pronouns please) has always dealt with big hard-to-talk-about things by baking. Being dumped is no different except now Syd is baking at the Proud Muffin a queer bakery and community space in Austin. And everyone who eats Syds breakup brownies . . . breaks up. Even Vin and Alec who own the Proud Muffin. And their breakup might take the bakery down with it. Being dumped is one thing; causing ripples of queer heartbreak through the community is another. But the cute bike delivery person Harley (he or they check the pronoun pin its probably on the messenger bag) believes Syd about the magic baking. And Harley believes Syds magical baking can fix things tooone recipe at a time.
