The Bakery Bandits

Disaster! The Bakery Bandits have struck Mimi's Bakery — and left a ransom note. Can you crack the case?

Crack the ransom note

They've left a note with some scrambled words. Unscramble them to finish the message!
Dear Mimi,
Last night we stole your award-winning recipe. It's going to be a job running your bakery without it. We'll return it if you make us treats to last a year. We will check your delivery to ensure nothing's missing!
Sincerely, the Bakery Bandits.

Write back to the bandits

Now write a note for Mimi to leave the Bakery Bandits, alongside a basket of baked goods. Think about how she feels about her recipe being stolen, and how she'll convince them to bring it back.
Sentence starters you could use: “Dear Bakery Bandits,” · “I felt ___ when…” · “That recipe means so much to me because…” · “If you bring it back, I promise…” · “Please…”

✅ Tick each one as you include it:

    Peek at an example (only if you're stuck!)

    “Dear Bakery Bandits, I felt so sad and worried when I found my special doughnut recipe was gone — my grandma gave it to me, so it means the world to me. I have baked you a whole basket of my very best treats to enjoy. Please, please bring my recipe home so I can keep making people smile. With hope, Mimi. 🥐”
