The Cake That Almost Wasn’t

About the Book

Jenni L. Hoffman wrote this book because she felt this “true story” would make for a good children’s book as it teaches lessons about perseverance, problem solving, thinking “outside the box,” and “it’s the thought that counts” and also because she wanted to have a keepsake to enjoy and pass down. Jenni remembers her mom reading stories to her as a child that taught morals or lessons that have had a lifetime effect on her. She is hopeful that the lessons in her book may be able to have a positive impact on others like those books had on her.
