Passionate Italian baker Marco Poloni (Costas Mandylor) enters a baking competition entitled "The Golden Whisk" to attract publicity and win prize money to support his struggling family-owned bakery in the Bronx. He asks for the help of uptight Manhattan-based pastry-maker Grace Carpenter (Lauren Holly). The unlikely pair must win to pursue their dreams and to show up an old rival of Poloni's who has also entered the competition. Along the way Marco and Grace seem to find a mutual attraction for each other.
