When P J inherits his familys bakery following the disappearance of his parents, his shocking baking and business skills lead the shop into decline. Not wanting to break the promise he made to his mum and dad, with the help of his group of slightly dysfunctional friends and his foreign love interest Gala, he manages to revive Cup Cake and throw it back to its former glory. The reformation story does not go without, the odd dodgy spray tan, thanks to the towns local heavies, along with some insane robotic dancing and a couple of weddings varying in scale and colour. Cup Cake will remind you what it is to love as well as opening your eyes to a whole new world of fashion.
