action

The passionate confectioner Molly Maurer is in debt and has to close her restaurant. Together with Grandma Klara, she discovers an advertisement for the pastry competition Sweet As Never . Molly decides to take part because there is 30,000 euros to be won or a job in Singapore . At first she is skeptical whether she has a chance among the hundreds of applicants. Once in Vienna , Molly's friend Azra smuggles Molly's pug into the venue. When Molly wants to present her submission exhibit, she is so impressed by competitor Lukas that she falls with her exhibit. Your artwork is destroyed.

Azra asks for an extension of the submission deadline, which she succeeds. With the help of Azra and the Pug, and later also Florentin, Molly puts together a new exhibit. She finds ingredients in an Asian food market and lavender from a woman in the laundromat . With the new exhibit, Molly appears again before the jury. She is divided, but with the help of Pug Molly gets into the second round.

The task here is to create a special kind of praline within 40 minutes. Before doing this, Arabella dilutes the chocolate mass. Lukas and Molly make up for this with new chocolate. The cameramen admire Molly because she can make chocolate rings. Molly's praline is rated as one of the best. In the finale, Molly, Lukas and Arabella compete against each other: They have to present a sculpture made entirely of chocolate. Arabella cheats and wants to keep her sculpture stable with the help of a grid. In addition, out of jealousy, she destroys the prepared chocolate sculpture of Lukas. She is being watched by a pug. Lukas is angry about the destroyed sculpture and thinks the pug is the culprit, but Molly defends the dog. Molly then helps Lukas to remake the sculpture and falls in love with Lukas. Pug, on the other hand, eats chocolate flakes, which makes him sick.

In the finale, tension rises over the best sculpture and the winner. Before doing the last work on the figures, no aids such as grids or bars are allowed in the figures. Molly melts chocolate, shapes it into balls of various sizes and colors and uses it to make a pug as a chocolate sculpture. The winners are Lukas and Arabella for the time being. Molly is disappointed, but the sniff Pug uncovers the dizziness in Arabella's sculpture by knocking the figure over. This breaks and the auxiliary grid reveals itself in it. Arabella will be disqualified immediately. After the new election, Molly wins. She receives the 30,000 euros she had hoped for and Lukas the job in Singapore. At dinner, Lukas offers Molly to come to Singapore, which she refuses.

reception

The film received mostly negative reviews. TV critic Rainer Tittelbach commented: “The plot quickly picks up speed, and the direction also focuses on speed. With the second 'Molly - & - Pug' episode 'Life is not a bundt cake' Michael Karen has no choice either. The story of the commercial conflicts is extremely banal. It's the usual obstacle course to the happy ending: a little love and humor, a little intrigue and a lot of cordiality. "
