Whenever I
bake something gingerbread, I also add some extra ground ginger, to set it
off and take it away from the pumpkin world and into gingerbread land.
Annie, meanwhile, can't quite get over a guy (an uncredited Jon Hamm, making the most of his few scenes with a goofy aura of entitlement) who only spends time with her for sex, is still traumatized by the commercial letdown of a bakery she opened (She makes a single cupcake in secret and closes
off whenever anyone asks why she doesn't
bake anymore), and works a dead - end job at a jewelry store where she can not help but inject a skeptical perception into the happiness of her potential customers.
