Flash!Mob Dec24: PROOF OF THE PUDDING

300 words... any genre... any style... go wild with the whatifs!

What if...

• an old recipe is found in an attic with a note saying 'the proof is in the eating - but so is the curse'.
• an ancient pudding recipe is said to bring true love... is there more to it?
• a pudding infused with truth serum reveals someone's innocence or guilt...
• preparing a lavish Christmas pudding leads to a life-changing adventure...
• a baker refuses to reveal their secret ingredient... what are the consequences?

Any of these or whatever springs to mind... have fun and happy writing.

Deadline: 28th December 2024

A note on wobbly word counts: 300 words is just a rough guide.. anything up to 900 is fine xx
