I watched this because I like Erica Durance as an actress and was a big fan of Smallville. I don't think she lived up to her potential in this. It may be because it was just a bad story line. With more effort this could have been a better movie. Like others have said in these reviews, the hair and outfits were pretty bad. I think Erica is beautiful and probably has thick, possibly curly hair and it's just been overstyled with heating tools and damaged from the bleached highlights. That was hard to ignore and then add to the poorly chosen wardrobe and it takes a lot away from this movie. Erica and Robin are very likeable, this was just not the best written movie. And that wasn't a recipe, just ingredients and in my opinion, only showed an M at the bottom not an MA, so could have been anything. But definitely not Marzipan, unless they were going to decorate the cake with it. Please do more research to support your story. I looked up Lebkuchen recipe and it was nothing like that. The bakery did not look like one, had no customers and you never saw them bake anything except that cake. I can say, the scenery was nice, the house and the Inn were beautiful, and this had a good Christmas message and some good heartfelt moments. It just wasn't brought together all that well. I wouldn't watch it again.
