Erica Durance and Robin Dunne are great together, but then they did another Christmas movie two years ago. Different background, different daughter.
Unfortunately, the story is a disaster. It does not make the character Gwen look very bright. First, she asks the shady TV chef to help her figure out her secret ingredient. Lets "give away the store". Fortunately, that moment passes without harm. But later, she's dumb again regarding the same shady guy. Why would she believe him? This climatic moment occurs fairly early in the movie. As for the problem it creates, in the age of social media, it only took her to nearly the end of the movie to think of the obvious answer.
Some interesting things happen after that climax. Some are cheesy. Some are sappy.
The story also has a mythical legend element to it since everyone believes the cake has secret powers.
