Red Rock Film Festival 2009

Based on a best-selling and much-loved short story by Jacqueline Ogburn, this film tells the story of the talented but reclusive baker Miss Cora Lee Merriweather, who runs the best bake shop in town until her passing leaves it empty. When others try to take over the shop and turn it into something other that what she expects, Miss Cora Lee comes back to haunt it and to drive them out. Her unrelenting presence is enough to discourage everyone –- until Annie Washington shows up. For Annie, this is the end of the line; she is determined that this will be her home and that she will bake in the kitchen of Miss Cora Lee. What ensues is a baker’s battle where their common search for the ‘perfect recipe’ leads, ultimately, to recognition that they have more in common than they may have realized.
