What Parents Need to Know

About Cake

Parents need to know that this tween-themed show follows a very driven young teen who produces her own public access show. Tweens will learn neat do-it-yourself (DIY) crafting techniques that may inspire them to "reduce, re-use, and recycle" by turning everyday objects like old CDs and bits of fabric into funky art and accessories. Lessons in friendship and family also come into play, making this an informative and engaging choice for the tween set.

    Inspirational!

    I have to give Cake Tv 5 big, glowing stars! It is so amazing how, every time I see it, I have the urge to get up and make something creative! I actually used one of their craft ideas for a gift to my dance teacher and she was thrilled! It was such a clever idea! Three thumbs up for Cake Tv! It's inspirational, educational, and one of a kind! Plus, Cake's outfits are so origial! There is nothing about this show that's not to like! Way to go Cake Tv!
