I Read Stories: Seven Kinds Of Baked Good by Maria Haskins

Seven Kinds Of Baked Good by Maria Haskins in Luna Station Quarterly

Disa is a dwarf, the descendant of ten generations of smiths, and she made one sword and one knife before being disowned for baking.

The sword and the knife are both magic, though not in a way that would usually be useful. The baking is magic too. She joins up with Leyra by picking her pocket and the two go into business at a tea-shop with a side-order of anti-noble assassination.

This doesn’t go quite to plan as the framing of the story is Disa being interrogated in a cellar and musing on how she got there.
