Sift the flour, beat the eggs, add the butter, sprinkle sugar… now, bake!
This is a story about the baker and his daughter, and the Queen and her son.
It’s Prince Fredrik’s 9th birthday, but who will bake the royal birthday cake? As things heat up in the busy basement kitchen of the Queen’s palace, the young apprentice baker, Madeleine attempts to prove herself to her father.
A delightful theatre experience for young audiences performed by Paul Curley, designed by Ger Clancy and directed by Philip Hardy, Bake! invites you into the action of the busy kitchen of the royal palace.
Get stuck in, but be warned, things could get messy!
