![]() Before the end of the year, he will marry the girl of his dreams and settle down, as his mother has always wanted. On New Year’s Eve, as he watches the fireworks, he makes a promise to his late mother. ![]() Tomiwa’s late mother (Patience Ozokwor) provided a large chunk of the funds for the bakery, so making her proud is Tomiwa’s top priority. He runs it with the help of two of his employees, Mfon (Folu Storms) and Jimoh (Koloman). In Cake, a talented baker, Tomiwa, played by Tope Tedela, has just opened a new bakery which he calls Cakey Bakey. This time, Prosper Edesiri serves up Cake, his debut feature film, released in cinemas in February, 2022. The last time a culinary-themed romantic drama graced the Nollywood big screen, it was the beautiful AMAA-nominated, Kayode Kasum-directed film, This Lady Called Life(2020). Yet, there is no denying that food and love are very closely linked, so much that it has been posited that food is a love language. There is a running joke amongst Nigerians that the question “Have you eaten?” is a synonym for “I love you.” Of course, there are people who get irritated by the question, especially when it is asked too often and never accompanied or followed by an offer to feed the person to whom the question is directed. Yet, for a culinary movie, Cake does not satisfy all the necessary cravings… …the many shots of delicious looking snacks and mouth-watering cakes will make it difficult for you to not dash to the nearest pastry shop immediately after seeing this movie.
