A magical baking adventure
about the production
Faerie Cakes follows a young woman’s return to her great aunt’s long-forgotten bakery in an unfamiliar town. Soon, she is following tiny footprints in the flour and peculiar recipes to plunge headlong into a magical baking adventure, where strange creatures scurry, and all is not quite as it seems. Magical puppetry, live music, dance and baking combine in this new production for families from 3+
