The Unfrosted Files
A Detective Series Set in a World Where PopTarts Live, Love, and Solve Mysteries
Welcome to The Unfrosted Files

In the bustling city of Popolis and beyond, Detective Emily Crustshaw—an unfrosted strawberry PopTart with a sharp mind and an even sharper red fedora—tackles cases that would make even the most seasoned investigator's filling curdle. Alongside her musical partner Juno, an unfrosted Snickerdoodle with a gift for turning the most mundane moments into melody, Emily navigates a world where frosting can be both armor and prejudice, where sprinkles tell stories, and where the truth is always worth pursuing—no matter how crumbly it gets.

Whether they're sipping Grand Mayan Ultra Aged on their coastal deck or sharing Casa del Sol Añejo at 30,000 feet, Emily and Juno know that life's finest moments—like its most complex mysteries—deserve to be savored with premium tequila and even better company.
