Sin da bambina, il suo sogno è sempre stato quello di aprire un negozio dove vendere gustose e coloratissime cupcake.

E dal bancone del suo negozio osserva la vita degli abitanti di Clongarvin, che continua a scorrere tra nuovi amori, pettegolezzi e colpi di scena. Ma presto Hannah scoprirà che anche per lei il destino ha in serbo una dolcissima sorpresa…
