In the PopTart universe, frosting isn't just decoration—it's a complex social marker that can determine everything from job opportunities to social standing. Unfrosted PopTarts like Emily and Juno navigate a world where their natural state is sometimes seen as incomplete, unfinished, or even rebellious. But they've learned that authenticity is its own form of strength—whether you're solving mysteries or selecting the perfect añejo for a special occasion.
From the neon-lit clubs of Popolis to the coffee plantations of Costa Rica, from Irish estates steeped in tradition to coastal lighthouses hiding modern secrets, Emily and Juno's adventures span a globe where PopTarts have created their own rich cultures, complete with ancient grain festivals, musical traditions, premium spirit collections, and the occasional criminal syndicate that needs dismantling.
The Unfrosted Files blend classic detective fiction with gentle humor and social commentary, all wrapped in the delightfully absurd premise of sentient breakfast pastries. Think cozy mysteries meet urban fantasy, with a dash of relationship dynamics, a sprinkle of social justice, and the occasional tequila tasting that reveals more than just flavor notes.
Each story can be read independently, but together they form a larger narrative about identity, belonging, and the courage it takes to be authentically yourself—whether you're frosted, unfrosted, or somewhere in between. They also chronicle a romance built on shared adventures, mutual respect, and an ever-growing appreciation for the finer things in life.
Because everyone deserves to see themselves represented in fiction—even if they happen to be a rectangular breakfast pastry with a badge and exceptional taste in aged spirits.
Detective Emily Crustshaw is an unfrosted strawberry PopTart whose sharp investigative skills are matched only by her stubborn refusal to conform to society's expectations. Whether she's debugging cybersecurity systems in the coastal town of Bayside Haven or unraveling international coffee cartels in Costa Rica, Emily approaches every case with her trademark red fedora, sugar-free Red Bull, and an unshakeable commitment to truth. Her appreciation for fine tequila—particularly Grand Mayan Ultra Aged—is legendary among flight crews worldwide, who've learned that Emily's carefully chosen bottles of premium spirits are as reliable as her detective work.
Juno brings music to Emily's methodical world. This unfrosted Snickerdoodle has a gift for finding melodies in the most unexpected places—and for seeing patterns that even Emily's detective eye might miss. From writing viral jingles to decoding centuries-old musical ciphers, Juno proves that sometimes the best way to solve a mystery is to listen for its rhythm. Her refined palate for añejo tequilas developed alongside her musical sophistication, and she's known for introducing Emily to new expressions—like the Herradura Ultra that became their celebration drink of choice.
Together, they've learned that life's most important moments—whether solving a case, sharing a sunset, or reuniting with old friends—are best accompanied by the smooth warmth of premium aged tequila and the comfortable silence that comes with finding your perfect partner in both crime-solving and life.
