Prior to that, he created and starred in Magic for Humans,...

Netflix has renewed “Is It Cake?” for Season 2.

The show is a cooking competition in which master bakers work to create hyper-realistic cakes that look exactly like everyday objects. The cakes are then presented before a panel of celebrity judges along with an array of actual objects to see if the judges can tell which of them is in fact cake. If the bakers are able to successfully fool the judges, they win a cash prize.

Mikey Day hosts the series and is expected to return for Season 2. Season 2 will also feature a new lineup of contestants and guest judges. Judges in Season 1 included Karamo Brown, Finesse Mitchell, Fortune Feimster, and Loni Love among several others.

“Is It Cake?” is produced for Netflix by Alfred Street Industries. Dan Cutforth, Jane Lipsitz, Nan Strait, Dan Volpe, and Andrew Wallace serve as executive producers. The series is based on the viral memes...

Time seems to fly by in these moments of pure relaxation and before you know it you’ve spent three hours watching someone build an automatic farm on Minecraft or a video on how to do an impression of Miss Piggy from The Muppets. There seems to be a trend, especially on Tik Tok of people cutting up things to see if they are real objects or simply made of cake. Some of these videos are genuinely baffling and showcase some incredible talent! As someone who has grown up in a household where there are constantly cakes being made or awaiting collection, I know first-hand the incredible things that can be done with cake but even then every so often...

I don’t know if it’s just because my mother is a semi-professional baker but a highlight every year, when my birthday comes around, is that cake I will be having! I have had gravity-defying midget gems cake, a cake dedicated to my idol and queen of morning television Lorraine Kelly and a giant Reese’s peanut butter cup all of which more only looked incredible but also tasted amazing! Due to a combination in the rise of popularity of shows such as Great British Bake Off and the lockdowns situation we as a nation have recently endured, there had been a rise in the number of people who have decided to take up baking as a hobby/business. This in turn means that there is a greater need for baking competition shows as the pool of potential contestants is constantly expanding. Any person who wants to create a...
