An air of celebration filled the town as everyone gathered at Perri Puff’s Bake Shop for a special announcement. The crowd bristled with excitement.

Perri Puff the Baker stood on a stage in front of the shop, alongside the Mayor who wore her finest formal clothes, bright red mayoral sash and shiny bronze medallion.
