A Program That Highlights Passion Behind Baking

Mimi emphasized that the show goes beyond food competition, highlighting the effort, craftsmanship, and emotional investment that go into baking. “I hope viewers will focus on the process what happens while bread is being made, and how much sincerity and care each pâtissier puts into their work,” she said. “I think there’s a lot people can relate to and appreciate.”
