Cake

Congratulations CAKE TV!

I tuned in early Saturday morning to check-out the new CBS shows and it really is nice to see that CBS is now bringing in real people to their children's morning schedule.

I particularly like the plot. Simple, clean and with a lesson that's tagged at the end and easy for my children (and maybe for all the other kids as well) to pick up. This sure promotes good child activity at home and at play.

Kudos to CBS and the folks who created the show. I will definitely tune in again with my kids and tell my family and friends about CAKE TV.

Christa Allen as Cake, great host, and a good friend to all. Keep smiling, Cake! Got to start checking my garage for things that my kids can 'change'!

Oh, and Anna Maria (long name but cute) as Miracle, she's funny and I like her role. Saw her in Hannah Montana and she can play different characters really well. Awesome job Miracle!

Keegan as Benjamin, reminds me of a young Will Smith! He's funny but I look forward to seeing what he does the next show!

And of course the cute little Emily, as Amy. Gosh, look at the energy she has!

Overall? I say 10! You've got my vote, CAKE TV! My family and I really enjoyed watching and look forward to seeing more of CAKE TV!

Here's one for the books!

Congratulations to the Cast and Crew of Cake TV! Watched the show last Saturday and it was Great!!! Nice and clean! You can see the positive chemistry among the 4 main characters, Cake, Miracle, Benjamin and Emily! Hey! C for Christa? A for Anna? K for Keegan? and E for Emily? Now that's really cute! Let's have more of them! Excellent work Mr. Director! Great choice of Cast, Mr. Producer! Great storyline, Mr Writer! It looks like one happy family! Educational and fun. I am sure kids of all ages will enjoy watching this new show! What's up for next week? Can't wait for the next show! Congratulations again to everyone at Cake TV!

As an adult I can appreciate the attempt at healthy hints (slumber party bits) and safety ( the "Party Time" mnemonic). The problem is the execution. The scripts are not well written, or adequately articulate the moral they're attempting to communicate and the characters are not what I would consider role models I would want the girls to emulate.

The girls(7 and 11 in age) loved the previous Nick Jr line up. Neither care for the new KOL secret slumber party programs that have replaced them. In the end I find Cake virtually unwatchable and agree with the girls that there are better things to watch. Lazytown was far better produced, effectively communicated a great message, and was much more entertaining in the process. The Nick Jr shows (Dora the Explorer, Blue's Clues, etc.) didn't play so heavily to gender stereotyping either.

My question is, how on earth did Christa B. Allen win a young artist award for this show? I know these are not prestigious awards by far, but out of curiosity I checked out the other nominees... Ashley Leggat (Life with Derek), Emma Roberts (Unfabulous), Jamie Lynn Spears (Zoey 101), and Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana) were all up for the same title. HOW DID THIS GIRL WIN THROUGH THIS HORRIBLY ACTED/PRODUCED/DIRECTED/WRITTEN SHOW?!?!?! I'm not saying any of the nominees are fantastic actresses, but all are ten times more deserving than this girl.

I was bored on a Saturday morning so I watched Cake. I was basically laughing at and simultaneously ready to vomit at the acting. I'm a big supporter of clean kids shows, but this is so sugar coated and fake that it's hard to believe any kids could seriously find this truly entertaining. They have lowered the bar much too low here. Crazy.

I am just appalled at the negative reactions here to the wonderful, highly addictive series "Cake." This show is so satisfyingly entertaining, with good messages throughout, and three powerful female actresses. Of course, there is the awful character of Benjamin played by a horrible actor, but the character of Cake is such an inspiration to people young and old! And Emily Rose Everhard as the wacky Amy is just to die for, people!! She is too funny and unlike any other child actor on television right now. I hope that "Cake" lasts ten seasons or more. I am 27 now and I still want to be watching this when I am forty years old! That may sound a little creepy, but trust me, this show is why I get out of bed on Saturday mornings!
