Determined to win, Peter seeks out a new hobby and ends up becoming interested in baking. He becomes obsessed with perfecting a recipe for cupcakes, which he intends to enter into the contest.
As Peter's baking skills improve, he discovers that he has a hidden talent for making high-quality cupcakes. His success lures him into the world of organized crime, as he begins to use his cupcakes as a front for a drug operation in order to make more money to perfect his cupcakes. He becomes known as "Cupcake", a feared and respected drug kingpin who is able to control his territory through his delicious cupcakes.
