Marguerite, with her voluminous polished updo and poised demeanor, seems the picture of Grosse Pointe grace, but beneath it simmers a fierce competitive streak. This is especially true for the annual Garden Club's "Heritage Bake-Off," where Martha van der Vliet's "perfectly bland lemon bars" have infuriatingly claimed the blue ribbon for years. Marguerite is determined to end Martha's reign. Her true strategy lies with her pristine white poodle, Baguette. Marguerite subtly signaled Baguette to swiftly devour every single one of Martha's bars before the judges can even approach.
