Jake Wellington is owner to one of Los Angeles' most well attended bakeries and has the "social" life to prove it. And while he certainly enjoys the perks, being a Most Eligible Bachelor isn't everything. Enter former lover, Ellie Calder, a woman with a plan. She's offered to help expand the company into something even bigger. Something huge. Yet despite a pretty convincing argument, particularly as it's coming from someone he's already slept with, he's just a little suspicous. She might turn out to be one of the rare local birds: a late-blooming kook. Cupcake Nation is a satire for foodies that ever so gently skewers entertainment media, West Coast affluence, trends and power love affairs. And yet, it is also a portrait of a sweet man, his faithful staff and most importantly his love of a tasty, mouthwatering cupcake. Yummmmm.
