A short summary of the book Piglet:

"Piglet" by Lottie Hazell is a whimsical and charming tale centered around the creation of a wedding croquembouche, a towering French dessert.

Through its playful narrative, the book explores themes of creativity, tradition, and the joy of bringing people together for a special occasion, making it a delightful read for anyone who appreciates both storytelling and the art of baking.
