Based on the original play by Sheri Wilner, Cake Off is described as "a hilarious battle of the sexes set at the 50th Annual Millberry Cake-Off competition." The musical is presented as part of the Women's Voices Theater Festival, which is dedicated to featuring new works by female playwrights and highlighting the scope of plays being written by women.
