Dean Gibson and Jian Yao are two men on a mission: form a team of pastry chefs to represent Australia at the 2013 World Pastry Cup and finally put Australian pastry on the map. Despite a shaky start, including several team reshuffles, the team is determined to train as hard as possible to reach the level of excellence needed to make it to the top. Will they become the well-oiled winning machine dreamt of by Dean and Jian? Will the team cope with the pressure of training intensively and competing in their already busy lives?
