Welcome to Charly's Bakery in Cape Town – South Africa's ‘mucking afazing’ cakery. Meet the team behind the endlessly decadent, delightful cakes. Charly's Cake Angels are exhilarated, they've got their own reality show happening at the bakery, and their task for the episode is to come up with a dazzling opening sequence for their show…

It's the largest order Charly's Cake Angels have ever had: a gargantuan five tiered cake, weighing over 150kg. It's also the busiest time of the year for them, and Alex has been put in charge of the monstrous order. Meanwhile, Dani and Roche are running the shop, and Francis – as usual – is overwhelmed with shape cake and wedding orders.

A frog-osaurus dinosaur, a Cinderella carriage, a topsy-turvy wedding cake, a snake, and a skull – just a regular week for the Charly's Cake Angels! Francis has been carving and crafting shaped cakes for years, but Alex has a lot to learn! As always, a smattering of drama: a bride trashes the wrong cake and Zelda arrives early to collect her skull cake...

Charly’s Cake Angels find themselves under the media spotlight as Vanessa Haywood, star of District 9, comes to the bakery for Valentine’s Day Meanwhile, Africa’s premier children’s hospital, the Red Cross Children’s Hospital is celebrating Valentine’s too, and have asked the Charly’s Angels for a donation cake for their cardio ward – Alex decides to make a human heart cake as a twist on the cardiac heart theme!

Charly’s team are overjoyed, they’ve been honoured by the city, and have been invited to create a cake to celebrate Cape Town for South Africa’s top creative event, The Design Indaba. The angels trawl the city for visual references and recreate their soul city in icing and art! Heat, stress and late nights are some of the ingredients which make it in.

It’s wedding season at the bakery, and Charly’s Cake Angels vow to wow with their wonderful wedding cakes. From cigars to a crowning gazebo, Charly’s wedding cakes come in all shapes and sizes, but getting these awesome edible creations to the weddings is a nail-biting challenge.

When Charly’s Cake Angels discover that a baby rhino has been born at the lodge nearby, they know they’ve got to make a cake to celebrate. Given the conservation crisis in South Africa around rhino poaching, it’s got to be really special! But before their adventurous safari cake begins to take shape, both mixers at the bakery go down…

Being surrounded by cakes all day everyday has its drawbacks: the last thing you want on your birthday is a cake. Simply because the Angels can’t bear the thought of celebrating birthdays with cakes, doesn’t mean that they don’t want to share their birthday love. This year they’ve decided to create a birthday cake for their favourite charities.

Much of the key film crew which have been filming at Charly’s Bakery for the last few months are being yanked away to icy climes – they’re off to film adventurers Riaan Manser and Dan Skinskad circumnavigating Iceland in a kayak. The Angels, distressed at losing their beloved crew members, decide to create an ambitious volcanic Iceland cake to send them off on their perilous voyage.

It’s been a busy year for the bakery and the Angels decide to honour their hard-working staff with a fun day out. In the build up to the big day, the staff’s excitement is palpable… It launches with a drum roll as a famous local band sends them on their way with an unplugged performance. From then on, it’s monkey business for the rest of the day!

When the fashion editor of Cosmopolitan South Africa invites Charly’s to create a series of cakes to celebrate the launch of a dynamic denim fashion week, the Cake Angels rise to the challenge – there’s no zipping up the inspiration at Charly’s when the Angels let their icing bags loose onto the fashion world.

Yet another crazy week in the life of Charly’s Bakery. With Jacqui in hospital, Alex and Dani find themselves in Groundhog Day: trying to tame the endless e-mail orders. It doesn’t help matters when Dani suddenly remembers that they’ve forgotten to arrange bonus granddad’s Lion’s cake – and the late cake doesn’t exactly go according to their last-minute plan.

It’s holiday time, and excitement sets in as, after a long year, the Angels clean and close up the bakery. While all the staff leave for holiday in good spirits, Jacqui, Alex, Dani and Roch are off to Zanzibar on a brave, sad quest. They’re saying farewell to Jacqui’s best friend Antoinette who passed away tragically a year ago.
