5 MIN 1950's Period Drama/Comedy
SYNOPSIS
Gemma thought all was pretty good and under control at the ‘High Tea Room’, that was until she discovered a large stunned cockroach in a freshly baked cupcake. So, one minute the cocky cupcake was there, and the next it was gone, but where was the infected cupcake? It could be on anyone’s plate; but what made it worse was a stuffy food critique from the Food and Beverage Board was arriving any minute to scrutinize their menu. Gemma couldn't stand it anymore, she was positive she’d throw up.
In the kitchen, Hettie, her boss, drank from a used wet tea cup once again. Then as she reached for the lone left over cupcake, a wispy thin tentacle raised up just above her eye line… Funny how a bad day can turn around so sweetly with a crunchy end!!
