把面点做得又好吃又好看，在中国并不是什么新鲜事。花馍、面塑，都是历史深厚的传统工艺。各种动物、人脸，都被技术高超的匠人塑造得活灵活现。逢年过节，销量好的面塑摊子，在庙会上一天就能卖出上千元。但是有一名青年面点师不满足于此，他要把食品做得像真正的艺术品一样美。 本片讲述了中国翻糖界第一人——周毅的故事。周毅的父亲是一名面塑师傅，周毅对制作精美的糕点格外有兴趣。他偶然见到翻糖这种广泛用于装饰西式糕点的材料。它的延展性极佳，可以做成各种各样的颜色和样态，而且比传统的面团更不易变形、保存的时间更长。 面塑的功底让周毅做出来的糕点活灵活现。他花了一年时间改良翻糖的配方，让相对坚硬的翻糖变得极有韧性，擀得像纸一样薄，用来做人偶的衣服。这样的衣服，和真人穿衣一样一层一层地披上，薄得似乎能透出肉来。 2017年，周毅带着他的团队参加了英国国际蛋糕比赛，夺得3金2铜。这是中国队伍首次获得奖项。描绘少女时代武则天的《粉黛佳人》则获得大奖“国际组别最佳”。比赛现场，评委只有在品尝了人偶的服饰之后才敢确定，它们真的是翻糖做的。更让周毅高兴的是，许多参赛队伍都采用了经过他们革新的翻糖材料。
