In a small town in the countryside, Georgia Kaminski is a fifteen year-old girl with Friedreich's ataxia, a genetic disease that causes progressive damage to the nervous system resulting in clumsy movements, speech problems heading to heart disease. While in a flea market selling goods with her grandmother Marg, Georgia meets the shy twenty-years old Beagle Kimbrough, who works in the cafeteria of her school and is the son of the local butcher Easy. Beagle spent the last years taking care of his ill mother while Easy and Marg have secretly been lovers for many years. Georgia feels that she will have few years of life and decides to lose her virginity with the sensitive Beagle. Meanwhile, Easy's older son Guy returns from New York for the funeral of his mother and seeks out the hairdresser Stephanie, who was his fiancée that he left behind when he moved to New York chasing the dream of becoming a successful musician. During the reunion, the lives of members of both families experience new discoveries and feelings.

Movie Reviews

At the Movies - 8/10 by Ben LyonsStand out performances, interesting character dynamic but overall, kind of a flat film that really doesn't have you too emotionally invested.
Film Journal International - 8/10 by Eric MonderPleasant, low-key drama about two small-town families with secrets. Though familiar in many respects, Mary Stuart Masterson's feature directorial debut has a quiet charm.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertMasterson, like many actors, is an assured director even in her debut; working with her brother Pete as cinematographer, she creates a spell and a tenderness and pushes exactly as far as this story should go.
About.com - 8/10 by Marcy DermanskyKristen Stewart is lovely, as is Masterson's beautifully crafted first film.
NewsBlaze - 7/10 by Prairie MillerDisease of the week suds are subverted in Kristen Stewart's oddly empowering disability sex romp. And though Cake is half baked at times, these impulsive humans going for the metaphorical dessert in life while skipping real sustenance, has a goofy appeal.
Metromix.com - 6/10 by Geoff BerkshireA small movie in every way, but solidly crafted and respectably acted.
Chicago Tribune - 5/10 by Michael EspositoIn her first feature film, Masterson creates a slice of life that is very believable (especially if you've ever seen "The Jerry Springer Show") and often endearing.
Boxoffice Magazine - 5/10 by Wade MajorAs directing debuts from actors and actresses go, Masterson's falls somewhere on the upper-end of the middle, a better-than-respectable effort given the difficulty of the material and the constraints of the budget.
Flick Filosopher - 4/10 by MaryAnn Johanson[W]hat seems at first like a lean, spare psychic space in which much is left unspoken swells to burn white-hot.
Slant Magazine - 4/10 by Andrew SchenkerIn The Cake Eaters, first-time filmmaker Mary Stuart Masterson and screenwriter Jayce Bartok attempt to pack a miniseries's worth of familial drama into an 85-minute running time.
