Is It Cake?

I really love the concept of this show and it would be awesome to even be able to make it through the second episode. Sadly, I am unable because of the host of the show. Where is Duff Goldman when you need him?

The concept of the show is fun - the contestants are very talented. The host though is extremely annoying and not remotely funny. He made the show difficult to watch. Keep the show, lose the host.

The person or team responsible for the cakes in Cash or Cake. They clearly have a higher degree of skill than any of nine contestants and they should have been involved in judging the cakes. It was a grave mistake to leave the judging to ignorant minor celebrities who know nothing about model cake making. This was an interesting idea badly executed.

The cakes that the contestants make are incredibly well done and seeing what they could make next is what got me through to the end. That being said, I have 2 major issues with the show:

1. Mikey Day is fantastic in SNL but I feel like he's out of his element as host of a baking competition. His humour was way, way too dry for my taste.

2. The judges at the end of the episodes are kind of wasted due to having only 15 secs to guess. It turns into 3 people shouting guesses and having the person in the middle pressing the button in a frenzied rush every single time. Gets very boring and it always feels too rushed.

Overall, it's a decent show in my opinion.

It's a fun show to keep in the background while you do other stuff.

The host tries too hard to be funny and quirky but it ends up being absolutely cringy.
