Great Ex Bake Tations
Noa Gallagher thought she had left Theo Castillo in her past, right next to bad decisions, cheap wine, and the belief that love conquers all.
Three years after their spectacular breakup, Noa is finally where she wants to be: running her own pastry shop, building her brand, and absolutely not thinking about the boy who once made her a birthday cake so catastrophically ugly that she cried laughing and kissed him in the frosting. When her best friend signs her up for The Great American Bake-Off, Noa sees it as the exposure her shop desperately needs.
Then the cast list drops, and there he is. Theo Castillo. Same dark eyes, same easy grin, same infuriating talent for making everything he touches rise perfectly while Noa's carefully constructed composure collapses.
The producers are thrilled. The audience loves the tension. The judges keep pairing them for team challenges that require cooperation, close quarters, and the kind of eye contact Noa has been avoiding since she left his apartment with a suitcase and a half-eaten croissant.
Noa tells herself this is purely professional. She is here to win, not to reheat old feelings. But somewhere between a disastrous croquembouche and a midnight practice session that gets dangerously off-recipe, she starts to wonder if some things are worth a second rise.
A romantic comedy about second chances, soggy bottoms, and the things we never said.
