“Make sure that Awande doesn’t see you doing this,” he commanded. So, he called his servants and Mary, the royal baker, and ordered them to throw away some of the treats. He had to store them in a secret part of the palace so that Awande wouldn’t know that he wasn’t finishing a treat every day.Īfter a few weeks, Prince Sugar had had to store so many treats that no more would fit into the secret place. Prince Sugar was very happy, and he finished all these delicious cakes, biscuits and tarts without sharing even a tiny piece with the village children.īut as the treats grew bigger and bigger, Prince Sugar found that he could no longer finish them. As the days passed, the treats seemed to be tastier and bigger. So, every morning, Prince Sugar received a freshly baked treat, which he gobbled up. “Very well,” replied Awande with a smile. “Of course, I’ll be able to finish a treat every day!” said the Prince greedily.

You have to eat the whole treat within a day.” Please allow me to fix my mistake by baking for you alone,” replied the baker, whose name was Awande. It is against the law!” shouted Prince Sugar angrily. “How dare you enter my village and start giving out treats to the children. When Prince Sugar heard about this, he became very angry and sent his guards to arrest the baker and bring her to him. She started handing out slices of cake and biscuits to all the children. One day, a mysterious new baker arrived in the village. “The cakes, biscuits and tarts all belong to me and me alone.” “Nobody eats my cakes! Understand, Mary? That is the law!” said Prince Sugar to the royal baker. Prince Sugar was so spoilt that he wouldn’t share any of his sweet treats with the village children. Prince Sugar was named after his love of sweet treats like cakes, biscuits, tarts, doughnuts and puddings.
