Angel Cake Trailers

A cakemaker and her dysfunctional family live on a grimy estate. When Elaine's rock buns come out of the oven resembling the Virgin Mary, potentially miraculous consequences follow for her family and friends. Her arthritic mother Millie is suddenly able to move freely, her irresponsible son Todd falls in love, and both she and her husband Ed are offered the chance of other relationships. But miracles are not all they seem.

Reviews
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Paul Evans Elaine is going through a tough time, her husband has lost interest in their relationship, and is spending his time elsewhere, her mum is spiteful, boasting constantly about her son, while her son treats her home like a doss house, bringing girls home at random. Elaine's one escape from it all is baking, selling her cakes, and taking pleasure in her creations. One batch of rock cakes sparks in the oven, a disaster, until her mum, Millie, spots the Virgin Madonna in the mix. The cake seems to have miracle powers for those that come into contact, spots clear up, best friend Jax gets the urge to diet, even Millie's crippling arthritis vanishes.This is a truly delightful sixty minute drama, it's light, funny, touching and totally engaging. Sarah Lancashire is a favourite actress of mine, never failing to impress, she's fantastic here, you truly warm to Elaine. Rita Tushingham is great to as her spiteful mum.A shame it was only on for an hour, this deserved to be on a longer format. A shame no channel seems able to make such fine comedy dramas anymore.A humble tale of rags to humbles....Brilliant, 9/10
