Episode Two: “Much Mistletoeing.”

In this emotional rollercoaster of an episode, we follow Erika and her children as they face homelessness after being evicted from their apartment. With nowhere else to turn, they move in with Erika's friend Lakisha, setting the stage for new challenges and conflicts.

Despite their dire circumstances, Erika's children refuse to let her give up on her baking dreams. Through their ingenuity and determination, the family manages to fulfill their first major order - desserts for a school Christmas party.

As Erika navigates this precarious situation, we see her growing confidence in her baking skills and business acumen, bolstered by her children's unwavering support. The episode culminates in a successful catering event that opens doors to new opportunities, including a potential romance for Erika.

Filled with heartwarming moments, clever problem-solving, and mouthwatering descriptions of desserts, this episode showcases the Daniels family's resilience in the face of adversity. Join us as Erika takes another step towards turning her passion into a thriving business, all while dealing with the complexities of friendship, single motherhood, and personal growth.
