Debra Jo Rupp plays the baker with great energy verging on hysteria at times.
Menuma Ceesay and Virginia Vale are the two women.
Ceesay is the intellectual, matter of fact one who simply wants to get married and doesn't really like cake.
Vale is the local southern girl who wants the wedding to be all that her late mother would have wanted. They quarrel quite a bit almost break up. She wants Della to bake their wedding cake. Della, for religious reasons, doesn't want to do this and comes up with various excuses not to do t.
Della tries to reason with them both, discouraging their marriage. Her own marriage is in bad shape. Her husband, played by Douglas Rees, is not romantically inclined. She tries to seduce him into having sex unsuccessfully.
After much to and fro she finally bakes the cake for them.
David enjoyed the play more than I did. With the recent Supreme Court decision about his subject, I felt the play was a bit dated and was too busy with side issues.
