Della’s North Carolina bakery is legendary, and her cakes are the best! She’s going to compete on the Great American Baking Show.  When her best friend’s daughter returns from New York to get married and asks her to make her wedding cake, Della is overjoyed - until she realizes that there isn’t just one bride, but two.  She can’t really bake a cake for such a wedding, can she?  Della is forced to re-examine her deeply held beliefs and her own marriage. Faith, family, and frosting collide in this timely, funny, and thought-provoking new play.
