On the 1st day of cakemas my true love gave to me, 9 bakers from previous seasons of Is It Cake competing against each other by creating the best illusion cakes to win a jackpot which is unfortunately quite a bit smaller than in the previous seasons of Is It Cake?
On the 2nd day of cakemas my true love gave to me a first round called Find that Cake where the bakers are faced with a Christmas themed room that looks like it's full of everyday objects but at least one of those objects is cake. And the Baker who guesses which object is cake the fastest gets to choose which bakers they are competing against and what item they will try to make their illusion cake look like.
On the 3rd day of cakemas my true love gave to me a 2nd round where you see the how much skill and uniquely delicious flavours the bakers put into making these illusion cakes. The cakes are then put amongst some decoys and it's up to 3 judges to try to guess which object is really cake. After 3 seasons you would think that they could get judges that had at least a little baking or food tasting knowledge but unfortunately the judges are minor celebrities that are sometimes funny but you've probably never heard of them. The winner of this round is the baker whose cake fools the judges, if more than one baker fools the judges, they will decide which baker is the winner by choosing which cake is the most tasty and which looks most like an everyday object. Then unfortunately the 2 losers of this round are elimated. This means that there are only 4 episodes in this season which means there's not nearly enough cake to go around, but it does make it's the perfect length for you to binge through on Christmas or Boxing Day after all the festivities are over.
I like these 2 rounds because you can play along at home and try to guess which object is cake. Even in the 2nd round where you get to see how the cakes are made it's still quite difficult to guess which object is real.
On the 4th day of cakemas my true love gave to me a 3rd round called Cake or Cash where the winner of the 2nd round is faced with 9 winter and/or Christmas themed objects, 3 of which are cakes. If the baker manages to find one cake they win $2,000 and $8,000 is added to the final jackpot, if they find 2 cakes they win $5,000 and $5,000 is added to the final jackpot and if they find 3 cakes they win $10,000 and unfortunately no money is added to the final jackpot. This means there are more opportunities for you to play cake or cash at home and more opportunities to add to the final jackpot which starts off at $25,000. This is a substantial amount of money but not nearly as big as in the previous seasons. This unfortunately makes the season a bit less exciting but still a good addition to the Is It Cake show that I would gladly watch again.

The festive atmosphere and the bakers' incredible skills make it a must-watch for fans of baking competitions and holiday cheer. A festive delight with stunning cake artistry, humor, and holiday cheer. A must-watch! 🎂🎄 Can't wait for the next season...
Interesting concept, however they work so hard to make it so the judges and the viewers can't get a good look at the cakes and the decoys.
The judges are 25-30 feet away from the cakes and the lighting is terrible on the cakes. They purposely create shadows and bright spots to make them more difficult to see.
The at home viewers don't get much of a better look. They flash the images for half a second, spin the items and pull back to distant shots. All with terrible lighting.
Don't get me wrong, sometimes they make very convincing cakes but many times when they finally do a closeup as he cuts their cake it is obvious that their finished product had a lot of problems. And acting like the not so well done examples are amazing is a disservice to the competitors that make convincing ones.
