Sunya is the head baker and owner of Pastries, a warm and comfortable bakery in Seattle, where she trans-forms her fabu-lous cakes and tarts into delicious works of art. Her success is put in jeopardy, however, when a chain bakery threatens to open down the street. To add to her misery, Roger, her hip, Japanese boyfriend has left her, and her mother has just become engaged to a man Sunya detests. All of this pales in comparison to her main worry-she has lost her touch for baking. When Sunya discovers a baking school in Japan that helps people reconnect to baking and to their spiritual selves, she feels that this just might be the answer to her problems.
