Pixie Hollow Bake Off is a six-minute short, based on theDisney Fairies franchise, produced byDisneytoon Studios. It aired in the United Kingdom on October 20, 2013, onDisney Channel. It is based loosely onJ. M. Barrie'sPeter Pan stories, by way ofDisney's animated adaptation.[1]
Tink challenges Gelata (Lisa Faulkner in the UK version;Giada De Laurentiis in the US version) to see who can bake the best cake for the queen's party. There are a group of baking fairies, the main one being Gelata. The baking fairies always make exactly the same cake for Queen Clarion's Arrival Day party, for the last 399 years.
Tinker Bell has an idea for a different kind of cake, which Gelata takes as a challenge... hence, the bake off. Tink and her friends compete against the baking fairies. In the end, Tink's cake looks very appealing, but finds out looks aren't everything.
The special debuted in the United Kingdom onThe Disney Channel on October 20, 2013. It was later featured as an exclusive bonus disc accompanying theBlu-ray release ofThe Pirate Fairy in 2014, which included 10 extra mini-shorts of around 1–2 minutes. The special was released widely throughDisney Movies Anywhere.[2][3] This special made its US TV Debut on Disney Channel on August 9, 2014.
