Just Desserts Summary
Director: Kevin Connor
Genres: Comedy
The Bronx bakery owned by the family of Marco Poloni (Costas_Mandylor) is on the verge of bankruptcy, and Marco's Uncle Fab (David_Proval) is poised to sell the place to a nationwide donut chain. To save the establishment and keep it in the family, Marco enters the "Golden Whisk Dessert Competition," hoping to win the 250,000-dollar grand prize. He further persuades the restaurant's brilliant pastry baker Grace Carpenter (Lauren_Holly) to be his partner in the contest, to which she agrees, even though she's fed up to the gills with Marco's explosive temper. Grace isn't the only person who's annoyed at Marco; one of the competing contestants is his former food academy classmate (and now his bitterest enemy) Jacques du Jacques (Andrew_Lauer), while among the judges is Marco's onetime teacher and mentor Emile Fragonard (Jean-Pierre Bergeron), who had washed his hands of his contentious student years earlier. And then there's the matter of Grace's jealous boyfriend. A joyous reunion for ex-Picket_Fences co-stars Lauren_Holly and Costas_Mandylor, the made-for-cable Just Desserts premiered February 8, 2004, on the Hallmark Channel. Hal Erickson, Rovi
