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.

    • My highlights are:
    • Educational
    • Positive messages
    • Good role models

    This is definitely a little kid show.

    This show has really bad actors. Horrible acting skills. Anna Maria Perez De Tagle has gotten wayyyyy better, but the rest of 'em, not so much. I guess smaller kids will like it, but will grow out of it quickly.
