If you live in Cape Town, chances are pretty good that you’d have come across a Charly’s Bakery creation. And things are about to get even sweeter! This famous bakery has now teamed up with Justin Bonello’s Cooked in Africa Films to film a brand-new reality show, starting on Saturday at 16h00 on SABC3: Charly’s Cake Angels.

The series follows mom Jacqui and her daughters Alex, Dani and Roche in a behind-the-scenes reality show, set in Charly’s Bakery in Cape Town. This local TV production was filmed over the last 10 months and each episode – although following real events – is themed around various dramas.

Here’s what well-known TV critic, Thinus Ferreira, had to say after seeing a sneak-peak of the show:

Charly’s Cake Angels is carefully constructed to show the depth of the various cake characters – proof that South Africa really does have the TV production talent to make great reality television. Charly’s Cake Angels has just the right sprinkling of drama, mixed with quality ingredients like fascinating characters, jaw-dropping challenges and some self-referential humour. Perhaps the most striking thing of Charly’s Cake Angels is the colour. Almost painfully so. The sheer amount of creative work, an abundance of cakes in vivid rainbow colours, magical creations created over many hours that will be destroyed and that you know will be completely consumed, is almost too much to take in. Then there’s the delicious dynamic sure to be explored further in upcoming episodes between mom Jacqui and her daughters who all work in this crazy cake castle. The camera work from Cooked in Africa Films, and the editing, gives a clear sense that it’s expertise at work in skillfully filming and portraying both food as well as people, once again mixing these two ingredients to create a very visually revealing story of very high quality.
