User Reviews

As Light As a Cream Puff...

And about as substantial, but inoffensive. Lots of plot holes, but so what? Could have used more Linda Lavin, who is always good. The cast was fine and pretty to look at. Production was good, too. If you are looking for something frothy and light, you won't go wrong with this Bakery in Brooklyn.
