Christmas Cupcakes

A cute, low budget Canadian film led by the always pleasing Cindy Busby and Erin Karpluk trying to keep their father's struggling bakery open. Diana-Marie Stolz, who I had never seen before, has a nice turn as an old lady who regularly buys Remo Bakery's egg bread. I also never recognized Heartland's Social Services officer Clint (Greg Lawson) as the pompous Chef Paolo until I looked him up here.

One word of warning, if you are looking for Christmas feels, this isn't the film. Except for a couple of minor references, this film could have been set at Labour Day for all it mattered.

This started out as this sweet little movie about two sisters trying to save their family bakery and their moms house after their father's death. And then they entered a baking contest led by someone like "the most interesting man in the world", except as the judge of a baking show. It was absolutely ridiculous and I loved it.

It is silly and unbelievable - but I watch it every Christmas! A great bit of escapism. The Uncle is probably the best actor and the nasty baker is a fun character.

Who doesn't love tv christmas movies? We just seen it as a family and we loved it. Good acting, quality production and the ending was perfect. A solid christmas movie, would recommend.

I am not fan of Christmas films. For many reasons, from cliches to the cheesy romance. But this film represents an exception. First - for the performances of Diana - Mary Stolz and Greg Lawson. For Italian veil , from the curse to the bread. For the seductive irony about cooking contests and for the cpooking ideas. Short, just a beautiful film. About family and cupcakes and about the small joys defining us. So, a "I like it! " with nuances to "I love it !".
