A cake is what's served on the happiest days of your life. This is the story of how my life was saved by cake . . .' Feisty middle-aged housewife Ruth Hopson's life comes crashing down around her when her hospital administrator husband is made redundant.

As she tries to keep the peace in this eccentric, disfunctional household, Ruth's only solace comes from baking cakes.
