A North Carolina baker, Della (Sonya Boyd Reavis) is thrilled when her late best friend’s daughter, Jen, asks her to bake her wedding cake. But when Della learns that Jen is marrying another woman, she finds herself at a crossroads, torn between her devotion to her beliefs and her love for someone she considers family. As Della wrestles with her decision, her eyes open to the shortcomings in her own marriage. The Cake peels back layers of faith, tradition, and personal growth, revealing the messiness—and beauty—of human connection.
