Cake Entertainment Limited (often called CAKE) is a company that creates, sells, and helps fund TV shows and movies. They focus on entertainment for kids and families.

CAKE is an independent company. This means they are not owned by a larger corporation. They work with many different studios to bring fun stories to screens around the world.

About Cake Entertainment

CAKE works with companies that make animated and live-action shows. Some of their partners include Rovio Entertainment, known for Angry Birds, and Ragdoll Productions. They also work with Fresh TV and Channel X.

They team up with production companies like Ánima Estudios to make new shows. For example, they worked on Space Chickens in Space for Disney XD. They also helped with Pablo for CBeebies. Other shows include Angelo Rules and Mighty Mike.

In 2011, a Spanish company called Zinkia Entertainment bought a large part of CAKE. CAKE then helped manage shows like Pocoyo. However, in 2014, CAKE's managers bought their company back. This made CAKE independent again.

CAKE has won awards for its work. In 2018, Animation Magazine voted them "Best International Distributor." They were also ranked high in Kidscreen's 2018 Hot50 list.

Cake Entertainment is based in London, England. Edward Galton leads the company.
