       Sarah is about to open a bakery in London with her best friend Isabella (Conn), only she’s killed in a traffic accident. All seems lost but Sarah’s daughter Clarissa (Tarbet) talks Isabella into going ahead with it with the financial support of Sarah’s mother Mimi (Imrie) and super-baker Matthew (Penry-Jones), an old flame of Sarah’s.      

       Of course it’s sugary sweet (it’s about a bakery after all), feel-good, predictable romantic nonsense. But pleasant enough for the year’s first film.
