Plot

A pampered Manhattanite, Desiree Harper (Morris), is shunned from her circle of well-heeled friends when her husband, Wade Harper (Stephen Hogan), a successful plastic surgeon, announces he wants a divorce. The terms of her prenuptial agreement leaves her penniless, so she returns to her family home in Flemington, New Jersey, to live with her father, Paddy Kerrigan (Best), where she helps with the family business, a bakery. Alienated from her roots and emotionally unavailable to love-interest, Benny Christophe (Alastair Mackenzie), a life as a baker is unacceptable to Desiree.

Desiree discovers that the bakery is also having financial difficulties; she develops a gourmet cupcake that becomes wildly popular, bringing success to the bakery and franchising offers from Corporate America. Desiree is faced with the ultimatum of selling out her father in order to return to her former lifestyle.
