Synopsis

With The Cookie Jar, Hannah Swensen has a mouthwatering monopoly on the bakery business of Lake Eden, Minnesota. But when a rival store opens, and one of the owners is found shot to death in the store, Hannah is determined to prove that she wasn't the only one who had an axe to grind with the Quinn sisters. Somebody wasn't fooled by the Georgia Peaches and their sweet-as-pie act--and now it's up to Hannah to track down whoever had the right ingredients to whip up a murder.

BlazeLime Strong and Moving!
Console best movie i've ever seen.
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Jack Vasen This episode really develops various aspects of the triangle of Hannah, Mike and Norman. For one thing, we find out more about Mike's past, his late wife, and one of their mutual friends who also had a crush on Mike. Meanwhile, with Mike distracted by events, Norman has a chance to strengthen his relationship with Hannah. We see the results of the murder at the start of the movie, and then there is a flashback of what leads up to it. These things take up about half the movie. Personally I hate this type of flashback. I also hate when the lead character, who is also an established upstanding citizen, is suspected of the murder. Yep, Hannah literally walks right into being a suspect.I also hate when the protagonist ignores the law doing illegal things in the name of "helping" the investigation. Admittedly, Hannah has skirted the line on this in previous episodes, but this time ...I have liked previous episodes of the series of movies, primarily because of Alison Sweeney. Hannah's heart is so big, it is hard not to like her. In this one, there were too many of my pet peeves, so I didn't care for it. However, many viewers without my prejudices will probably enjoy this one because there is so much going on.
bkoganbing In this Murder She Baked: A Peach Cobbler Mystery, Hannah Swenson's profession of baker actually comes into play as part of the plot. In this case someone opens a rival bakery across the street and it will be a war for customers in the small town of Eden Falls, Minnesota. Rumor has it that rival Michelle Harrison just imports her stuff and it's not baked on premise. But that pales when Harrison is killed and Alison Sweeney is discovered over the body. Later on the gun that killed Harrison is found in Alison's bakery.Sweeney is as usual caught between Cameron Mattis and Gabriel Hogan, she must feel like a volleyball at times. Her mother Barbara Niven has found a little romance with Roark Critchlow a guy that seems a bit too smooth. He's also got a connection to the sister of the late bakery rival also played by Michelle Harrison.Those shots of all the baked goods in the shop. 1000 calories just for looking at it and on television too not live.Fans of the series won't be disappointed.
blanche-2 In "Murder, She Baked: A Peach Cobbler Mystery," Hannah (Alison Sweeney) has decided she is more attracted to Detective Mike Kingston (Cameron Mathison) than the dentist Norman Rhodes. Norman i ready for a commitment, but recent widower Mike is not. Hannah hasn't told either man how she feels.She wonders if she has made the right decision when Melanie Quinn, a college friend of Mike's, opens a bakery across the street from Hannah's bakery! And she sees Mike exiting it.Melanie's sister Valerie is heavily promoting the bakery, and Hannah is losing some business. Apparently, Melanie makes one helluva peach cobbler, too. Hannah tries her hand at one, which is better than Melanie's, so she's asked to bring some to a wedding. There's something familiar about Melanie's cobbler - Hannah realizes it's frozen and sold at the grocery store. After a debacle, Melanie comes to Hannah, admitting she can't bake and asking for help with the peach cobbler for the wedding. Hannah helps and leaves Melanie with baking instructions and gets ready for the wedding. Melanie never appears.That night, going by Melanie's bakery, Hannah sees the lights on. Inside she finds Melanie's dead body. And she also finds herself a suspect in Melanie's murder. In order to clear her, everyone joins in the investigation into the murder to find the true killer. Since Mike is on the police force and told to stay away from her, Hannah leans heavily on Norman.As usual this was a pleasant mystery with attractive stars. It's no great shakes since Hallmark is a family channel and aims for a kind of banal entertainment. However, this series has warmth and likability.
pensman A "friend" of Hannah's opens a bakery right across the street from Hannah. And Melanie Quinn is quite snarky about her special peach cobbler. The taste however is familiar to Hannah: It's a frozen cobbler from the supermarket. Hannah knows then that Melanie can't bake. Then there is the usual: Hannah makes a cobbler that her friends acclaim as superior; there is a confrontation scene where Melanie accosts Hannah and states she will bake a special Southern cobbler; Melanie shows up in tears at Hannah's admitting she can't bake and needs Hannah's help. Hannah goes over to help Melanie and while there Melanie says she hates pretending but in three months she will be closing because her sister (Vanessa)—the backer of the bakery—said that's how long the bakery had to stay open. Bang, Melanie is dead. Best if you DVR this episode, watch the first 20 minutes and then zip to the last fifteen to see if you were right about who did it: you will be. Forgot, there is the usual subplot with Hannah's mom desperate as usual to find a man; of course, she finds the wrong one.
