Every year Eddie's Aunt Ida enters one of her unusual culinary creations in East Harlem Community Center's annual dessert derby, and every year she wins...nothing. Apparently the judge, acclaimed and feared food critic Bones McDuff just doesn't share her tastes. This year looks like her toughest contest ever, as she goes up against Aunt Rosa's Melon Mountain Muffins and Vincent's Strawberry Skyscraper Souffle. Still, she is determined to win.
