I stumbled upon this new show on Netflix and I can’t stop watching.\u00a0 \u00a0I am addicted to “Is It Cake?”\u00a0 Nine bakers competing against each other, three at a time, turning cake into what look like REAL ITEMS.\u00a0 Is it a purse or is it cake?\u00a0 Is it a burger or is it cake?\u00a0 I’m only a few episodes on, but so far, it’s been an amazing thing to watch.<\/p>\n
Remember when this whole “is it real or is it cake” trend started taking off and blowing our minds, to think that people were talented enough to make cake look like pretty much ANYTHING?\u00a0 This takes it to a whole new level.\u00a0 The idea for this show started from the popular meme that started in July 2020 after a Tasty video<\/a> of seemingly everyday objects went viral on Twitter.<\/p>\n I am absolutely amazed watching these pastry chefs start from scratch and build a cake into what looks like a real item – shoes, purses, hats, fast food – it’s been amazing.\u00a0 Not easy at all.\u00a0 They have eight hours and use every minute.<\/p>\n The goal of each episode is for the bakers to fool three rotating celebrity judges.\u00a0 \u00a0Five REAL items.\u00a0 ONE is cake.\u00a0 They judges have 20 seconds to work together to figure out which is cake.\u00a0 If they correctly guess the baker’s cake from the group of items, that baker is eliminated from that round.\u00a0 If they DON’T guess the cake, the baker has a chance to win up to $10,000.\u00a0 If more than one cake per round is incorrectly guessed, the judges choose the winner based on how good the cake tastes, and how good it looks.\u00a0\u00a0The winning baker gets $5,000 and a chance to earn another $5,000 if they are able to identify which container full of money is actually cake.<\/p>\n No.\u00a0 Not meaningful in any way.\u00a0 No lessons learned.\u00a0 But fun to watch and try to figure it out.<\/p>\n Have you watched?\u00a0 What did you think?<\/p>\n
