Directed by Lynne Meadow, The Cake follows Della (played by Debra Jo Rupp), the owner of a North Carolina bakery who has been selected as a contestant on The Great American Baking Show. She explained why to the press, “I wanted to put a conservative person at the forefront of the play … [it] doesn’t necessarily condone their values, but shows how it is possible to change in a tiny, human way.”
