Molly owns the bakery in River Oaks, a small, Northern California town. While her head is in the oven, her fiancé–a doctor–is on the East Coast, sewing up faces, in a never-ending quest for more abbreviations to add to the end of his name. Forever making divine wedding cakes for her customers, she wonders if there will ever be one for her. Judging by the length of their engagement, she may be right to wonder. How much longer can a girl wait?

Molly's bakery hosts a constant parade of charming, small-town characters who consider Molly's Sunshine Bakery to be the very heart of River Oaks. Unlike her baked goods, Molly's heart is growing stale. Should she trade in her baked Alaska beau for a nerdy fritter fanatic, a man of self-proclaimed mystery and intrigue?
