Against a whipped-pink frosting backdrop two performers stand aside glittery text reads “CAKE,” with “Late Bite” written across and the tagline “Queer chaos best served late.” The scene is bold, messy, and joyfully chaotic. On the left, a drag artist with long blonde hair, dramatic makeup, and an oversized glittery pink bust bites playfully into a giant red liquorice strap. They wear a feathered headpiece, pink fur cuffs, and sparkling jewellery. On the right, another performer in a shiny pink jacket and harness poses wide-eyed as a long strand of licorice stretches from their mouth.
An aerial performer hangs suspended high above the stage, holding onto straps while extending their body horizontally in a dramatic split-like pose. Below them is a large illuminated heart-shaped prop decorated with small pink hearts, flanked by oversized cake sculptures topped with candles.
A group of six performers in vibrant pink costumes pose energetically onstage, surrounded by colourful tangled streamers. They wear a mix of bikinis, harnesses, and playful cabaret-style outfits, each striking a bold, joyful pose. Behind them is a giant pink tiered cake prop with candles, lit by dramatic purple and blue stage lights. The scene is exuberant, messy, and celebratory.
