The old tea house on Mulberry Street in Belfast hasn�t changed much over the years. But it�s about to bear witness to some significant transformations � Daniel Stanley might make the most glorious deserts in the whole of Ireland, but he won�t support his wife Penny�s desire to have at least one bun in the oven. And the owners of Muldoon�s Tea Rooms are just two of the people inside hoping for change. Struggling artist Brenda sits penning letters to Nicholas Cage and dreaming of a better life. Sadie finds refuge from her diet and her husband�s infidelity in Daniel�s famous cherry cheesecake. Clare returns home from twenty years in New York, still cherishing the memory of the one night she truly loved � and lost. And Penny herself discovers a secret from the past � and a sexy estate agent very much in her present. They all want their lives to change � but are they willing to face the consequences? And the possibility that you might not always be able to have your cake � and eat it.
