A PIECE OF CAKE - A Ton of Fun!

The Bragg Brothers have done it again with A PIECE OF CAKE starring Rich Sommer (Glow, MadMen) as Jim, an out-of-touch dad desperate to give his young daughter the one thing she wants for her birthday - decorative silver balls on her cake. The one problem: they're "illegal" in California! From here, the real fun begins as this sweet little father / daughter story turns into a quasi-drug-heist film with back alleys, shady characters and high speed car chases! A PIECE OF CAKE is a TON of fun and is sure to make audiences laugh! Definitely a MUST WATCH for all!

Silver Balls of Joy? A Piece of Cake!

This enjoyable take of a father's quest of finding his daughters one birthday wish. The story was original. This character wonderfully by Rich Sommer and dialogue written well by the Bragg's.

Comedic situations interlopes the characters, making the building of humor. The only weakness was the ending, but a good short. It makes for anticipation for the filmmaker's (Austin/Meredith Bragg) next film.

Trivia
The FDA has been creating guidelines pertaining to silver dragées since 1906, when mineral substances were banned as food additives. Silver is still banned as an edible additive, and silver dragées are sold in 49 states "for decoration only." The only place you can't even buy them is California, due to a 2003 lawsuit against several sellers.
