Book about a French woman who was part of a famous family sweets bakery before the French revolution and ends up in the Kings (English?) Court. Eventually makes her way back baking sweets.
There were pictures of colorful spiral castle spires on the front of the book.
I'm 99% sure she's French.
Adding in some other details bc it's driving me crazy still!!
It was a decently long book, the things that I remember was that it was heavily based on this woman's inherited skills as a confectionery person. She learned the trade from her dad. And I think there was some political stuff going on in the world at the time. It was definitely set in an older time period, maybe the early to mid 1800s. The book cover had the types of Russian architecture with the spirals and stuff on it. And I think at one point she was in a palace. The main character guy's name started with an A, I believe. And it's just her story as she goes through her life and moves up and progresses with her talents.
