Premise
The show revolves around a teenage girl named Cake, who is very much into fashion and arts and crafts. Cake wishes to follow in the footsteps of her Grandma Crystal, who used to design costumes for a famous rock star. In her spare time, Cake also enjoys Irish dance and playing the bagpipes. She wears a pink T-shirt during Cake TV filming sessions.
Like Cake, her best friend Miracle Ross also has an eye for fashion and art, except she believes in spending money in order to get the perfect gift rather than making it. In "Miracle on Ice", she wore a red T-shirt for the Cake TV filming session to match Cake's, but for the rest of the series, she wore a lavender T-shirt, then a purple one.
Amy Carson is a small child who lives in their neighborhood and enjoys cracking jokes and pulling pranks. She wears a green T-shirt during Cake TV filming sessions.
Together they are the hosts of Cake TV, an arts-and-crafts show on public-access television that is taped in Cake's garage. Benjamin Turner, who has no intention of going on camera because of stage fright, is the show's cameraman and director. He wears a blue T-shirt when operating the camera during Cake TV filming sessions.
The garage where Cake TV is produced is filled with Grandma's endless supply of trinkets she used when designing costumes, such as beads, glitter, ribbon, and many other supplies. Cake always has items organized and ready to be grabbed at the studio.[1]
