VB's 2007 series, Heart of Greed, was successful enough to commission this series. In June 2007, Louise Lee presented on the Heart of Greed (溏心) chatroom that the producers had already begun to write another series with the same actors but a different story line. Details about the new series were leaked by the media in October 2007 and Lau Kar Ho, the director, writer and producer of the series, vowed to catch the person who leaked this information because few people knew about the new series. The sales presentation clip was released on November 19, 2007. The clip gave clues about the new series which featured Michelle Yim as the new villain and a mooncake business instead of the abalone business in Heart of Greed.[1] New cast members included Kate Tsui, Lee Heung Kam, Vincent Wan and Wayne Lai.
On January 28, 2008, the cast celebrated their kick-off in filming, which included a costume fitting. Lee, Raymond Lam and Fala Chen had to attend baking lessons in order for them to film baking scenes realistically. Filming commenced on February 14, 2008, where Lee, Lai and Lam were the first to shoot at a bakery. The main cast and Lau Kar Ho celebrated the blessing ceremony of the series on March 7, 2008. The release of its official trailer was aired at the Shanghai Television Festival on June 11. Principal filming ended on July 1, 2008,[4] and its official English title was revealed. TVB officially began promotional and advertising work on the series on July 5, 2008, with an advertisement being aired followed up with its official website being released on July 8, 2008.
