Christmas Cupcakes

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.

In the second round, Remo Bakery got 10-8-8 and they showed 29, when it is really 26. When the announcer was wrapping up the competition round, he said Bake It Til You Make It got all 9s, which would be 27, but they showed 29. This time they got Remo Bakery correct with 26. Bad editing job!

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 !".

This is a cute movie especially if you like cooking competition shows. The lady who always buys the egg bread is the highlight of the movie. She absolutely steals every scene she is in.

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.
