Carmel Auditions For Lead In Hallmark Holiday Movie-Cake Bake Shop Is The Perfect Backdrop

At the nearby Cake Bake Shop, which has all the ingredients of a Hallmark movie, owner Gwen Rogers said, "fantastic, they should absolutely come here," when told of the plot to draw Hallmark.

"I admit I watch (Hallmark movies) probably not every night, but close to every night," she said. "It's great TV. I love it."

Asked about a possible storyline involving the characters who meet and fall in love, Rogers didn't skip a beat.

"There's got to be some sort of baking," she said. Maybe "they build a gingerbread house or make a cake together."
