A local winery owner, Ms. Jenkins, has come into the bakery and demanded that Alice make a cake for her daughter's birthday party the next day.

Alice and her team try their best to accommodate Ms. Jenkins' demands, but every time they make a cake, she finds something wrong with it and demands they start over. The situation is made even more difficult by Ms. Jenkins' unpleasant demeanor and constant belittling of Alice and her team.
As the deadline for the cake's delivery draws near, Alice becomes increasingly stressed and frustrated. However, she refuses to let Ms. Jenkins get the best of her.
