Bravo to Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn for baking up this sweet and satisfying theatrical treat! What sets CAKE apart is its ability to weave levity into a story about coping with depression and suicide. This would be a delightful addition to any festival, reading series, or full production, offering audiences both laughter and a meaningful takeaway.

“Cake” opens with two guys in handcuffs and covered in frosting. With a scene like that, I’m all in. But then comes the twists, revelations and realizations. In ten short minutes, Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn captures a spectrum of emotions and the complexity of friendship.

"Cake" cleverly weaves together humor and grief; it is funny while still tackling heavy subjects beautifully and delicately.
