Cupcake Club Books in Order

The Cupcake Club series is exactly what the name promises, only a little sharper and warmer underneath the frosting. Set on Sugarberry Island, the books follow a group of women connected by friendship, baking, and a cupcakery that becomes both a workplace and a refuge.

Each novel focuses on a different woman, starting with Leilani in Sugar Rush. The men change from book to book, but the heart of the series stays in the friendships, the island rhythms, and the way baking becomes a language for comfort, risk, and fresh starts. These are romances, so there is plenty of chemistry, but the wider emotional arc is about women building a life that feels like their own.

Sugarberry Island matters. It is small enough for gossip to travel fast and warm enough to make newcomers wonder if they can finally put down roots. Kauffman uses the setting to keep everything intimate. Friends check in, customers become part of the story, and the kitchen is never just a backdrop.

These books are sweet, but not sugary.

If you want Donna Kauffman at her breeziest, with found family, island atmosphere, and romances that can be read in sequence or one at a time, Cupcake Club is an easy pick.
