Description
The Golden Spoon turns the comforting premise of a Bake Week–style competition into a locked-estate whodunit. At Grafton Manor in rural Vermont, legendary baking icon Betsy Martin returns for the tenth anniversary season—this time forced to share the spotlight with flashy cohost Archie Morris. Six carefully selected amateur bakers arrive expecting buttercream, bonding, and fame.
Instead, ingredients are tampered with, careers are threatened, and the manor’s sealed-off spaces conceal long-buried history. As storms isolate the estate and tensions rise, the competition becomes a pressure cooker: alliances form, secrets surface, and a shocking death in the tent turns the show into a crime scene. The final answers link present-day sabotage to an old disappearance, exposing how far someone went to protect a legacy.
