Cupcakes & Carnitas
Niki Smith
Sweet meets heat in the ultimate food truck face-off.
Lila Torres is out to win Vendor of the Year at the summer festival. Her cupcake truck, Sweet on You, is loaded with pastel perfection, margarita cupcakes, and the kind of frosting swirls that make Instagram melt. Victory is practically in the bag—
until she finds her prime corner spot stolen by the black-and-teal taco truck of her arch-nemesis, Marina “Rina” Vega.
Rina’s got tattoos, a wicked grin, and a knack for turning every shared event into a competition. When a double booking forces them to share a tent, it’s sugar versus spice… and the banter turns hotter than Rina’s grill.
Between frosting sabotage, salsa smoke warfare, and an unexpected viral hit, their enemies-to-lovers slow burn threatens to boil over. But with the festival’s top prize on the line, can they mix business, pleasure, and just the right amount of cayenne without getting burned?
